About Aston Villa

Year Founded: 1874
Major Honours:

• 7x First Division titles
• 7x FA Cups
• 5x League Cups

As one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888, Aston Villa holds a prestigious place in English football history. The club’s influence extends beyond the pitch – with founder William McGregor credited as the creator of the league system itself.

Villa’s most iconic moment came in 1982, lifting the European Cup in Rotterdam with a 1–0 win over Bayern Munich. The club’s domestic honours include seven league titles and seven FA Cups, the history of which you can explore in our Aston Villa FA Cup history blog.

Legends such as Billy Walker, Villa’s all-time top scorer, and more recent stars like Gareth Barry, Ashley Young, and Ollie Watkins have all made their mark. For a full look at the club’s greatest goalscorers, read our Aston Villa all-time top scorers.
