Off The Field

About Aston Villa Football Club
Aston Villa FC was founded by Jack Hughes, Frederick Matthews, Walter Price and William Scattergood in 1987. Throughout the team's history they've had periods of both of success and failure. The club started out being successfully wining many championships under Captain Archie Hunter. Aston Villa's biggest accomplishment has been winning the UEFA Champions League title match against Bayern Munich in 1982. The team's worst years were during the late sixties till the early seventies when they got relegated all the way down to the Third Division, and were not able to get back to First Division till 1972. During those hard times Aston Villa FC changed management and coaching many times. Currently Aston Villa is in 6th in the English Premier League and is under the ownership of Randy Lerner.
Aston Villa FC: The Ultimate Comeback Team
Aston Villa FC has been able to come back from being a Third Division team to a First Division team, which is something that not every club team can do. It took them eight management changes to finally find the one coach, Ron Saunders that could take the team back to the elite status. Ever since then the team has been in the First Division.
