Unai Emery becomes just the fourth Villa manager since the advent of League football in 1888 to win 70 games in the top-flight


Another game, another record broken by Unai Emery.





Only George Ramsay, Billy Smith, Ron Saunders, and now Unai Emery have won 70 top-flight games for Villa.


1886-26 George Ramsay | 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 | Management Committee


George Ramsay's 70th top-flight win for Villa came on 16 December 1893 as Villa crushed Manchester United at Bank Street Clayton.


1926-34 Billy Smith | 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 | Management Committee


Billy Smith's 70th top-flight win for Villa also came against a Manchester team as Villa triumphed over Manchester City at Maine Road on 26 December 1929.


1974-82 Ron Saunders | 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 |


Ron Saunders' 70th top-flight win for Villa made it a hat-trick of north-west victims as Bolton were beaten at Villa Park on 3 November 1979.

Unai Emery's 70th top-flight victory came courtesy of their win at home over West Ham United on 22 March 2026.

I enjoyed reading this post and thought it shared some really useful insights in a simple and genuine way. It’s always nice to come across content that feels informative without trying too hard, and the overall writing kept things easy to follow. A lot of people balancing studies, work, and other responsibilities can probably relate to the challenges mentioned here. During busy periods, services offering rapid assignment help can honestly make things a bit less stressful for students. I’ve also seen resources like assignment writing help Birmingham mentioned by students looking for extra academic support when deadlines start piling up.
