Aston Villa FC - nicknamed The Villa or The Villans - is a professional football club playing in the English Premier League. Aston Villa FC is the fourth most successful club in the history of English football, having won the league 7 times (most recently in 1981), the FA Cup 7 times and the League Cup 5 times.
In European football, Aston Villa FC is one of only 4 English clubs to have won the UEFA Champions League. Also they won the UEFA InterToto cup in 2001.
Aston Villa FC plays their home games at Villa Park, a 42,000 capacity all-seater stadium, and home ground to the club since 1897. The club has planning permission to extend the stadium that, if and when completed, will increase the capacity to 51,000.
Club owner and chairman is Randy Lerner, an American entrepreneur and sports investor, who took over Aston Villa FC in September 2006. Since then he has invested heavily in re-inforcing the squad, in order to bring back the former glory of the club.
Aston Villa FC manager is Martin O'Neill, a former Northern Ireland international, and a hugely successful manager with all the clubs he has managed. He is also a very popular TV pundit - and a very sharp analyser of the game.
Team captain is Martin Laursen, a very strong and composed centre back, and Danish International.
Other key players in the squad are: Brad Friedel (GK), Gareth Barry (M), James Milner (M) and Gabriel Agbonlahor (A).

- You have a quality manager, the man who should have got the England job ahead off McClaren.
He is buying well so maybe a trophy is around the corner.
