Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is eager for his squad to embrace the club's rich modern history.
Lambert met with Villa's 1982 European Cup winners earlier this month and is a big believer in using the club's heritage as inspiration for the future.
"Villa's history probably outweighs that of a lot of clubs in the Premier League," said Lambert.
"Winning the European Cup immediately catapults you into a separate category. It's not just that of course.
"With the fanbase, the strong identity, the infrastructure and the stadium here, this club has got everything and this encourages us to aspire to be the best we can possibly be.
"This has been our motivation for the past 17, 18 months or so. We're trying to build something on top of those powerful foundations.
"With the right overall philosophy, with an unwavering work ethic and with a bit of luck along the way we can get something going here again, no question."
