Main article: History of Aston Villa F.C. (1961–present)

The 2005–06 English football season was Aston Villa's 14th season in the Premier League

After the previous seasons tenth placed finish Villa never recovered from a poor start which left them at times close to the bottom 3 and despite some impressive wins which ultimately kept Villa in the league discontent among the fans at an uncomfortable relegation battle grew and lead to manager David O'Leary being sacked after the end of the season.

There were debut appearances for Gabriel Agbonlahor (341), James Milner (100), Wilfred Bouma (83), Craig Gardner (59), Aaron Hughes (54), Milan Baroš (42), Patrik Berger (29), Gary Cahill (28), Kevin Phillips (23), Eirik Bakke (14), and Stuart Taylor (12).
