I had a mate years ago...we've lost touch now...who was a huge Villa fan,who showed me the first ever photo taken at an English football match.....between us and Villa. He was immensely proud of it.....I hadn't seen it before and haven't seen it since. Just emphasises our domination at that time,as you say, and cements our history.

Sunderland against Aston Villa can rightly be described as football’s first great rivalry, with the Wearsiders capturing the First Division Championship in 1891/92, 1892/93 and 1894/95, and with Villa taking the title in 1893/94, 1895-96, 1896-97 and 1898-99.

In 1912/13 Sunderland again won Division One, but were beaten by the Villans in the FA Cup Final at the Crystal Palace before a then World Record crowd of in excess of 120,000.

The rivalry was marked by the painting that resides in the entrance to the Stadium of Light, the one in the lead photo of this very article.

This is of the game at Newcastle Road on 2nd January 1895 - a match which ended 4-4, with two goals from Gillespie and one each from Hannah and Millar for the home side and two from Smith, a penalty from Reynolds and one from Devey doing the damage for the away team. The attendance was 12,000.

The painting is recognised as the oldest of an Association Football match anywhere in the world, and thus marking it out as something special.

Love the Hemy painting.

It's also worth noting that we'd won three league titles before Liverpool won their first and four before the Mags or Man Utd won any.
