Aston Villa F.C. is an English professional football club based in Aston, Birmingham, who currently play in the Premier League. The club was founded in 1874 and have played at their current home ground, Villa Park, since 1897. Aston Villa were founding members of The Football League in 1888 and the Premier League in 1992.[1]

They are one of the oldest and most successful football clubs in England, having won the First Division Championship seven times and the FA Cup seven times.[2] Villa are also one of only four English clubs to win the European Cup, which they did in 1982.[3] Aston Villa is the fourth most successful club in English football history, having won 20 major honours,[4]

However, some players who have played fewer matches are also included; players from the club's pre-Football League days, when they played fewer matches in a season than the present day, and club captains are included. Players who hold club records have footnotes describing the record. Players are listed according to the date of their first-team debut for the club.
