However low we are at the moment, Aston Villa are, and always will be, the greatest team the world has ever seen...

Is there any point in saying that this 140th anniversary is a marketing fabrication with no basis in fact?

It doesn't really matter. I bet there's not not many clubs who know the exact date they were formed.
It's a great video and David Bradley is a fine actor. The only minus is the current state of the team.

taken from Wiki who claim it is March:  Aston Villa Football Club were formed in March 1874, by four members of the Villa Cross Wesleyan Chapel (known as early as 1867 as Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel)[1] in Handsworth. The four founders were Jack Hughes, Frederick Matthews, Walter Price and William Scattergood

Am I the only one welled up?

Nope, wonderful video and a lovely reminder of why we love our club.

The exact date doesn't matter. We were formed in 1874 (probably), so let's just enjoy it.
