The Little Book of Aston Villa
Tradition is a byword for Aston Villa. Few clubs anywhere in England, let alone anywhere else, can boast a timeline of success to match the Birmingham club. Founder members of the Football League, they first won the First Division in 1893-94 and by the end of the 1890s they had won five of their six championships and two of their seven FA Cups. Their last major portion of footballing glory came in 1981 when they won the League again under the disciplinarian Ron Saunders and went on to take the European Cup under his assistant Tony Barton a year later. From Pongo Waring and 'Big Ron' Atkinson through Peter Withe, Gary Shaw and Dr Josef Venglos, to Graham Taylor, Dion Dublin, Gareth Southgate, Dwight Yorke, Juan Pablo Angel, and David O'Leary, there is no lack of contrasting characters to draw on for quotes. Chairman 'Deadly Doug' Ellis is worth a book in himself and few clubs have a richer history or as many outspoken characters to comment on where it's all gone wrong (and occasionally spectacularly right) since the glory days of baggy shorts and Bovril at half-time.

Aston Villa Head to Head
Aston Villa: Head to Head reveals for the first time how Villa have fared against every club they've ever played, in any competition, since the club entered the Football League. From Accrington to York City, Villa's complete record of matches against each club is looked at in detail and illustrated with pictures. Also included is a table of players who've played for both clubs and a 'fact file' highlighting the most surprising nuggets to be gleaned from this fresh way of interpreting the club's statistics. Did you know that Villa have not met rivals Birmingham City in the FA Cup for over a hundred years? Or that the biggest attendance ever at Villa Park came on 2 March 1946 when 76,588 packed into the ground to see a seven-goal FA Cup thriller against Derby that Villa eventually lost 4-3? Within these pages you will discover that Villa and Everton, both founder members of the Football League, have met each other in the league more often than any other pair of clubs; that Villa's biggest ever Premiership away win was the 5-0 drubbing of Leicester in 2004 and that Villa have lost only once in 20 games against Burnley. All these facts and figures, along with countless others, are easily accessible in Aston Villa: Head to Head, which deserves a place on any fan's bookshelf. This new addition to Breedon's well-respected stable of football statistics books has been meticulously researched and compiled. Comprehensive enough for the die-hard statto, yet readable enough for the armchair fan, it is sure to appeal to everyone with an interest in the history of Aston Villa FC.
