Official Aston Villa Home Shirt
by Reebok. Aston Villa - founder members of the Football League and still
one of the leading clubs in Britain. There weren't many football teams
in Birmingham during the 1870s, so a group of cricket enthusiasts from
Villa Cross Wesleyan Chapel in Aston formed a club during the long winter
of 1873. In 1876, they were joined by a Scot, George Ramsay, who was made
captain and led the team to become one of the top clubs in the country
inside ten years, winning the league championship five times before the
turn of the century. They were the first team to win the 'double' in 1897.
Although only adding another two titles since, they are renowned for their
FA Cup exploits, winning the trophy seven times. They also became champions
of Europe in 1982.

The Foxes Home
Shirt Leicester City were founded as Leicester Fosse in 1884 by former
pupils of the Wyggeston School and moved to the present Filbert Street
ground in 1891. They twice came near to winning the League Championship
in the 1920, when prolific marksman Arthur Chandler and long-serving full
back Adam Black - who holds the club record of 528 appearances - were
at their height. Despite the amazing goalscoring powers of Arthur Rowley,
who netted 44 times in the 1956-57 Division Two season, City didn't make
a major impact until the arrival of manager Matt Gillies in 1959. He forged
a fluent side with goalkeeper Gordon Banks and centre half Frank McLintock
to the fore but, unfortunately, three FA Cup appearances in the 60s proved
fruitless, althought there was a League Cup success to celebrate. The
70s teams of Frank O'Farrell and Jimmy Bloomfield were renowned for their
flair and creativity with players like Peter Shilton, Banks' replacement,
Frank Worthington and keith Weller. The 80s brought strikers Gary Lineker
and Alan Smith to the public eye but City didn't win another Wembley Cup
final until 1997, with the League Cup again and that was followed this
year with victory over Tranmere.
