Andy Gray

Andy Gray was an unstoppable force at Aston Villa. Signing in 1975, he made an instant impact with his strength, aerial power, and killer instinct for goals. In his first season, he scored 29 goals, earning the PFA Young Player of the Year award. A year later, he became the first player to win both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year. A true Villa legend!

 

 

Gareth Barry

The embodiment of loyalty and consistency, Gareth Barry served Aston Villa for 12 years, making over 400 appearances. Initially a left-back, he found his calling in central midfield, demonstrating unmatched composure and leadership. As Villa captain from 2006 to 2009, Barry’s influence on and off the pitch made him a true legend.

 

 

Ron Saunders

Ron Saunders, the architect of Villa’s return to glory, took over in 1974 and transformed Villa from a Second Division side into champions of England. Under his leadership, Aston Villa claimed the First Division title in 1981, paving the way for the European Cup triumph a year later. Saunders is a name forever etched in Villa’s history.

 

 

Dennis Mortimer

Dennis Mortimer captained the 1982 European Cup-winning team, securing his place as one of Villa’s all-time legends. Known for his tireless energy and sharp passing, he led the club to its 1981 First Division title and became the first Villa captain to lift a European trophy—a true icon.

 

 

Billy Walker

Billy Walker is one of Aston Villa's earliest stars, with a legacy that remains unmatched. After turning professional in 1919 Walker dazzled fans with his creativity, intricate passing, and clinical finishing. In an era of low-scoring football, he amassed an incredible 244 goals—a club record that still stands today. His impact is a lasting reminder of Villa’s rich history.

 

 

Charlie Aitken

Charlie Aitken’s 660 appearances over 17 years make him Aston Villa's most capped player. His defensive skills were vital in securing multiple trophies, including the Second Division Championship in 1960 and the League Cup in 1975. Aitken was a rock at the back and a leader on the pitch.

 

Brian Little

Brian Little’s connection with Villa spanned both player and managerial roles. A fan favorite as a forward, he netted 82 goals in 247 games. His highlight came in the 1977 League Cup final, where he scored twice to seal the victory. He later returned to manage Villa, leading them to another League Cup triumph in 1996.

 

 Paul McGrath

When Paul McGrath arrived at Villa Park in 1989, few could have predicted the legendary impact he would have. Despite chronic knee issues limiting his training, McGrath delivered outstanding performances, showcasing brilliant game-reading, key interceptions, and composure on the ball. In 1993, he was named Player of the Year — a rare feat for a player from a non-title-winning team. Truly one of the greatest defenders of his generation.

 

 

Gordon 'Sid' Cowans

When fans look back on Aston Villa's golden years, Gordon 'Sid' Cowans is always front and center. Known for his sublime skills, creativity, and tenacity, Cowans was the heartbeat of Villa's midfield from the late '70s to early '80s. Though his career saw multiple transfers, he always found his way back to Villa Park. Cowans played a key role in Villa's First Division triumph in 1980/81 and was instrumental in their European glory the following year. A true Villa great.

 

 

Peter Withe

Peter Withe is a symbol of Aston Villa’s golden era, forever remembered for his match-winning goal in the 1982 European Cup final. But Withe was much more than that iconic moment—his 20 goals in the 1980/81 season powered Villa to their first league title in 71 years. With 233 appearances and 90 goals, Withe’s legacy as a cornerstone of Villa’s most successful era is undeniable.

These ten legends, along with countless others since 1874, embody the skill, spirit, and heart of Aston Villa. Celebrate this remarkable club’s history with our exclusive timeline print—a testament to Villa’s enduring legacy and passion.
