Aston Villa Football Club (Also known as Villa, The Villa, The Villans and The Lions) is an English professional association football club based in Aston, Birmingham. The club was founded in 1874 and have played at their current home ground, Villa Park, since 1897. Aston Villa were founder members of The Football League in 1888. They were also founder members of the Premier League in 1992, and have remained there ever since. The club was floated by the previous owner and chairman Doug Ellis, but in 2006 full control of the club was acquired by Randy Lerner.

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. Villa also won the 1981–82 European Cup, one of only four English clubs to win what is now the UEFA Champions League. Aston Villa has the fourth highest total of major honours won by an English club.

They have a fierce local rivalry with Birmingham City. The Second City derby between Aston Villa and Birmingham City has been played since 1879. The club's traditional kit colours are claret shirts with sky blue sleeves, white shorts and sky blue socks. Their traditional crest is of a rampant gold lion on a light blue background with the club's motto "Prepared" underneath; a modified version of this was adopted in 2007.<\/P>","480882DFDB04CD6BE39EA745DB9708F3FDC1AF08E10C208A":"1","7316390EDD0778189C728D1A7D275848":"England","2FCA3E5C341526AA":"1","25BD2818C5CA7DE1EF956094CD415371":"

Unai Emery Etxegoien (born 3 November 1971 in Hondarribia, Gipuzkoa) is a Spanish football manager, currently in charge of Valencia CF.

During his playing days, spent almost exclusively in Segunda División – 215 matches in seven years – he operated as a left midfielder. He subsequently embarked on a managerial career.

Playing career
<\/STRONG>Emery was a youth graduate of Real Sociedad, but never really broke into the first team (aged 24, he appeared in five La Liga matches, scoring against Albacete Balompié) and, after that, resumed his career mostly in the second level.

He retired with Lorca Deportiva CF at the age of 32, after one season in Segunda División B.

Coaching career
Lorca and Almería
<\/STRONG>As he was seriously injured in the knee while at Lorca in the 2004–05 season, Emery was offered the vacant manager spot by the club president, and immediately helped the club achieve promotion to the second division for the first time in its history, while beating top level side Málaga CF in the Spanish Cup.

Valencia
Beginnings
<\/STRONG>In his first season with the Che side, Emery led it to a sixth place-finish, with the subsequent UEFA Europa League qualification, in spite of the club's serious financial problems. He led his team to the round of 32 in the UEFA Cup.

After Villa and Silva
<\/STRONG>The 2010–11 season started without David Villa and David Silva, sold to FC Barcelona and Manchester City respectively. Still, Emery managed to win five out of the first six league games (one draw), starting the Champions League campaign with a 4–0 win in Turkey, against Bursaspor, a competition in which Valencia was eliminated in the round of 16 by FC Schalke 04, being ousted in the same stage in the Spanish Cup, by Villarreal CF.

In the domestic league, Valencia finished third, thus again qualifying to the Champions League.<\/P>","0D34E6C50E8B5F692E33A5A7830475C3":"Unai Emery Etxegoien","8D5A204CDEF7148F16FFC2E9FB1EE211":"1971-11-3","906FE566EA5D5A060738EC206CB55DB7":"Villa Park Trinity Road Birmingham B6 6HE","9313EC01B36593E9":"13183","0FD504EDD8B1D3841B8B3A87EB81E7E9":"Aston Villa","A1A3C2B16933D2932CAA0F59CAFD2D37A7D990F044C6143D":"1874-11-21","DF1F83E13127F6C1":"Unai Emery Etxegoien","0DC344593C67F298":"571","F54BDD5A0D63E83FD0B4671C8FED08AE":"Spain","8CFBF2FE25EFB09A":"Record league win: <\/STRONG>12-2 (v.
