Aston Villa

Aston Villa started in 1874, as an extension of a Wesleyan Chapel cricket team, Villa Cross. It's first match was under mixed soccer & rugby rules. Becoming a professional team in 1880, it was one of the founder members of the Football league in 1988. It became very successful, winning the 1st Division Championships 6 times up to 1910. Alternating mostly between the 1st and 2nd Divisions since then, they have been in the top league now since 1988. Recent success: League Cup winners 1994, 1996; Ground: Villa Park Junction 6 of M6 to A38(M) Witton Train station on Birmingham toWalsall line

Bolton

Initially being formed as Christ Church Sunday School team, the team originally were known as "The Reds" because they wore red and white quartered shirts and later white shirts with red spots on, which were supposed to make them look bigger. They should have just used that silky effect material that was so popular in the 1980's, which certainly was snug fitting and made even the thinnest player look large Read on... from My Eyes have Seen the Glory

Blackburn

Birmingham

Formed when a group of cricketers got bored during the winter of 1875, a religious theme runs through their history with the original team being linked to Trinity church and subsequently moving from their first ground to St. Andrews in 1902. Initially, the side was named after the area of it's first home, Small Heath, they almost changed their title again when they moved to another nearby Heath; this time Edward's, but the blue link was not strong enough to persuade them. They did move, however, from their potholed Muntz Street ground (named after the character, Nelson, from The Simpsons), which became a great attraction for cavers for many years after, to St. Andrews.

Charlton

Charlton was founded in 1905 and quickly advanced to the Football League in 1920. The 1930s saw Charlton climb to the First Division under the astute management of Jimmy Seed. In the 1945-46 season Charlton finished runners-up in the FA Cup, losing 4-1 to Derby County. But the next season Charlton lifted the cup, beating Burnley 1-0. Charlton were one of the country's leading clubs but the club failed to move with the times and complacency set in. The Valley was never properly modernised and the crowds began to dwindle. In 1956 legendary goalkeeper Sam Bartram retired at the age of 42 and the next season Charlton were relegated after some 14 years in the top flight. Manager Jimmy Seed was sacked and the club stayed in the Second Division until 1971 when the team were relegated to the Third Division. Charlton won promotion in 1975 and in November 1982 former European Footballer of the year Allan Simonsen was signed from Barcelona. It was an expensive gamble and it rebounded badly. He played just 17 games before moving to his homeland. 12 months later Charlton were just five minutes from going into receivership, but a rescue package was by the High Court and the club was saved from extinction. Charlton's future looked secure but in March 1984 the new chairman announced that he owned the club, but not the freehold to The Valley and in September 1985 he had decided to move the club to Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park. In 1986 Charlton won promotion back to the top flight and stayed there until 1990. In December 1992 after seven years of exile, Charlton returned to The Valley. New managers Alan Curbishley and Steve Gritt were appointed. But in 1995 Alan Curbishley was put in sole charge and just two years later Charlton finished fourth in Division One. Charlton reached the final of the play-offs and would face Sunderland at Wembley. Sunderland were favourites but a hat-trick from Clive Mendonca helped Charlton to a 4-4 draw, and after 13 penalties Charlton goalkeeper Sasa Ilic saved Michael Gray's penalty and Charlton were in the Premier League. The Club started brightly but on the final day of the season the team were relegated. Charlton bounced back in style, winning the First Division Championship. Charlton were favourites to be relegated but a top half finish saw Charlton keep their top-flight status THE GROUND.. The Valley has undergone many improvements in the last few years. The Oldest Stand is the Jimmy Seed Stand on the South side of the ground, the stand was named in memory of the FA Cup winning manager who managed the club from the 1930's to 1950's and has a capacity of 3,000. The stand is the away end of the ground. The East Stand was built in 1994 and holds 6,000. The West stand was built for Charlton's first but unsucessful Premiership campaign, the stand is a double tier stand with conferencing suites, bars and offices and holds 8,000 fans. The newly built 9,000 seater North Stand was built on top of the old Covered End at The Valley. The stand is a double tier, with single tier North-West and North-East corners that connect to the East and West Stands. Charlton returned to the Valley in 1992, with a capacity of just over 8,000.

Chelsea

Chelsea entered the 2nd Division of the Football League in 1905, in their first year as a club, but had to wait for success. Their history can be simplified as a yo-yo between the top two Divisions. They have been in the Premier Division since it was formed in 1992 and have a reputation for good cup runs. Challenging now for the top spot with their new manager See also: My eyes have seen the glory
