| Description |
'Aston Villa - The Complete Record' first appeared in 1988, the centenary year of the Football League and the season in which the club won promotion back to the top flight. A second edition was published in 1992, just as the Premier League came into existence. Now, 18 years later, Villa supporters can look forward to a brand new edition of 'The Complete Record', one which will bring the club's story right up to the end of an eventful 2009-10 campaign. The new book, published by DB Publishing, isn't merely an update of the previous two editions. Authors Rob Bishop and Frank Holt have combined their vast knowledge of the club to produce a completely fresh volume. Rob is the editor of 'The Villa News & Record', while Frank, who contributes a regular column to the programme, is a highly-respected historian who is a member of the Association of Football Statisticians. The book will include a resume of every season since Villa's formation; detailed grids showing the appearances, goal scorers and attendances of every competitive campaign; profiles of more than 150 of Villa's leading players; a spotlight on all the club's managers, from Jimmy McMullan to Martin O'Neill; a selection of Matches to Remember; and, much more. All of the club's Premier League seasons are featured, and the book will be illustrated with photos from the Villa Archives, making 'Aston Villa: The Complete Record' an indispensable guide to a great football club.
