Formed in 1874, Aston Villa are currently one of the oldest and most historic football clubs in the English top flight.<\/p>\n
The Villans have experienced many ups and downs throughout their long and storied history, including winning the English top-flight title on seven occasions.<\/p>\n
When was the last time they won the Premier League title, though? Like most teams in the English top flight, Aston Villa has never won the Premier League title since its rebranding from the English First Division in 1992.<\/p>\n
Villa have certainly not been short of silverware in their history. However, many of the Villans league title triumphs are in the dim and distant past.<\/p>\n
Their first-ever English top-flight title arrived in season 1893\/94, in just the sixth season of the English First Division.<\/p>\n
Villa became the dominant team of that particular era of the English top flight, as they won the titles in five of the next seven seasons, with their last title of that run coming in season 1899\/1900.<\/p>\n
The team from the Midlands were once again crowned in season 1909\/10.<\/p>\n
Unlike their first six English titles, many people will remember Villa\u2019s last English top-flight title, which arrived in the 1980\/81 season.<\/p>\n
Since their last title in 1910, the Villans not only spent time in the English Second Division but also dropped into the third tier in the 1970s.<\/p>\n
Under Birkenhead-born boss Ron Saunders, those dark days of the 70s were long forgotten, as Villa restored pride by becoming English champions in 1981.<\/p>\n
