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.
