At the heart of this book are those three surreal seasons when Villa played in the Championship. It was a time when the club's owners and manager changed several times; a period of mid-table finishes, play-off heartbreak and coming close to folding. But the Villans re-entered the top flight under Dean Smith, and Unai Emery brought European football back to Villa Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the misery of Moscow in 2009 to beating Brighton on the final day of the 2022\/2023 season, the book recounts all the matches that mattered. Contributions from the players, managers and supporters bring the story to life.
