Aston Villa FC are one of three clubs having the privilege of being founder members of both the Football League and the Premier League, the other two being Blackburn Rovers and Everton. This Midlands club was formed in 1874. One of the most successful outfits in the history of the Football League, the club has had only moderate achievements during recent years and their last title was achieved in 1980-81. They are one of five clubs in England to have won the European Cup (now Champions League). Aston Villa played Top Flight football from 1988-89 and after narrowly surviving serious relegation scares during previous seasons, descended to the Championship well before close of the 2015-16 campaign following twenty-eight consecutive seasons of Top Flight football. Villa earned promotion through playoffs in 2018-19 and have so far managed to preserve Premier League status.
