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.
