I dug deep into our archives and unearthed these amazing pictures showing the Aston Villa of yesteryear - including the famous 1905, 1920 and 1957 FA Cup final wins

In this Aston Villa retro gallery we have nipped into the archives to bring you these brilliant snaps from one of England’s best clubs.

The images feature the 1905 FA Cup final win against Newcastle United and the 1920 success over Huddersfield Town.

There is also action from the 1924 FA Cup final when Newcastle got their revenge, a match against Spurs on their way to the final, a victory parade through the city after Villa’s 1957 FA Cup win - as well as matches at Charlton and Ipswich.

There’s those – and plenty more images – here.
