England
Aston Villa compete in the Premier League at Villa Park, their home since 1897. Founded in 1874, the Birmingham club was influential in English football's move to professionalism in 1885, and a Villa director, William McGregor, established the world's first Football League in 1888. The club traces its playing style to Scotsman George Ramsay, appointed as the world's first professional manager in 1886.
