BRIEF HISTORY: The Birmingham located Aston Villa was founded in 1874, by four cricket players associated with the church. The club was founded approximately one year before the city rival Birmingham City (named Small Heath Alliance until 1905).
In 1885, the club’s president, William McGregor, realized a need to keep the fans interested in the game; together with eleven other leading English clubs of that period, Villa founded the Football League in 1888. Led by George Ramsay they quickly proved to be the most dominant side of the Victorian era, claiming five First Division titles and three FA Cups before the turn of the century.
With the rise of football’s popularity in the country, however, many other clubs started to emerge as contenders for the throne. Still, Villa remained a powerhouse; after winning another FA Cup in 1905, they followed it up with their sixth First Division title in 1910. After another two FA Cup victories in 1913, the club’s golden era ended at the outbreak of the First World War.
