Aston Villa

Aston Villa are one of England's oldest and most historic clubs. Their trophy list reflects a long pedigree:

• 7 League Titles
• 7 FA Cups
• 5 League Cups
• 1 European Cup (1982)
• 1 UEFA Europa League (2026)

Villa were a powerhouse in the early days of English soccer and earned European glory in the 1980s — and again in 2026.

After a difficult decade that included relegation in 2016, Villa have re-emerged as a top-tier Premier League side under Unai Emery. Villa reached the Champions League quarter-finals in 2025, then went one better in 2026: Emery led them to the UEFA Europa League title, his fifth Europa League triumph as a manager — a record — beating Freiburg 3-0 in the final in Istanbul. It's Villa's first European trophy since 1982.

Common picks include:

• Paul McGrath — The Irishman is arguably the club's greatest defender.
• Gordon Cowans — a midfield metronome for nearly two decades.
• Peter Withe — scorer of the winner in the 1982 European Cup final.

Denver Broncos. Historic, proud fanbase, and back on the rise after a challenging spell.

Winning the 2026 Europa League under Unai Emery — beating Freiburg 3-0 in Istanbul — is the club's proudest modern moment, joining the 1982 European Cup as Villa's only continental honours.
