Welcome to a 140-page magazine dedicated to chronicling the rich history of Aston Villa, featuring one of our finest covers to date. From its founding in 1874 by members of a chapel cricket team to becoming one of England’s most historic clubs, the magazine explores all the pivotal moments in long-form depth.

We delve into Villa’s golden eras: the dominance of the early Football League years, the trials and tribulations of the historic 1982 European Cup triumph, and the legendary players and managers who shaped the club’s identity. Featuring rare photographs, personal stories from past heroes and deep dives into Villa's constant evolution, These Football Times brings history to life for supporters and neutrals alike.

Special features include 18 iconic kits, a history of Villa Park and the fiery Second-City derby. From recounting the exploits of legends like Cowans, McGrath, McParland, Ángel and Little to comprehensively analysing the club's revolution under Unai Emery, the magazine is a must-read celebration of Villa’s enduring history.
