The current season is Aston Villa’s 138th in professional football. It is also the club’s 102nd top flight season as well as its 25th successive season in the esteemed Premier League. Aston Villa is only one of the three clubs that became one of the founding members of the Football League (1888 – 1889) and the Premier League (1992 -1993). The exalted club became runner-up in both leagues which is an inimitable record. The Aston Villa Football Club is a winner of the inaugural Football League Club (1960 -1961). It is only one of the two teams that won the championship and Football Association in just one season which is known as the “Double”. This was from 1896 – 1897 and 1960 – 1961.

Aston Villa is said to be the only “consistently achieving club” in the Midlands. More importantly, the club set the standards for which English football has earned its mark in the world of international sports. In 1913, the Evening News published the following about this football club: “Aston Villa is the biggest news on the football canvas. It is, in fact, a household word – one of the few that the game has produced.”

Records show that Aston Villa is the fifth most decorated club in English football history.
It also has 19 major domestic honours and seven league championships. Villa is one of just five English clubs which won the European Cup. It also defeated Barcelona during the European Super Club (1982 – 1983).
