		After a shaky couple of seasons at Anfield, James had been in impressive form for Villa and won an England recall.
		He insisted: "I expect him to be in the team for the first game of the season." Villa manager John Gregory has been reportedly targeting Flowers as part of his search for a new goalkeeper and goalkeeping coach, following James' move to West Ham and Paul Barron's switch to Middlesbrough.
		Obviously I spoke to Glenn, and because Aston Villa didn't necessarily want me there, didn't mean I had to leave," said the England international, who was an ever-present in the Villa team last season.

		The high fee initially looked to have paid off, but during his second season at the club, Collymore's form dipped (and he appeared to be wasting his talent with incidents off the pitch) and he was sold to Aston Villa for £7million in May 1997.
		A significant breakthrough star in the Liverpool team was young striker Ian Rush, who had been signed from Chester in 1980 and after a couple of seasons in the reserves had broken into the first team and established himself as a prolific goal scorer.
		They won their fourth successive League Cup and their third successive League Championship as well as winning the European Cup for the fourth time in eight seasons, thanks to the efforts of Fagan and his high quality squad which was mostly made up of players from the Bob Paisley era.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: John Gregory: The Boss
		In this book 'The Boss' John Gregory gives a very honest account of his first 2-and-a-half seasons with Aston Villa.
		Apart from that it is a marvellously, genuinely open book about 'The Boss' at Villa, his ambitions, his love of the club, its supporters and the city, and of Bruce Springsteen's music (hence the title I guess).
		Gregory also shows emotional maturity and self-awareness, a rarity in the football world.

		Steve McClaren's men briefly climbed to fourth place in the Premiership following Saturday's 3-0 win over Aston Villa at the Riverside Stadium to maintain their unlikely challenge for a top-four finish and the riches of the Champions League next season.
		Three seasons ago, derby rivals Newcastle made the leap from 11th place - the position in which Boro finished last year - to fourth to claim Champions League football, and there is a similar swagger about the Teessiders as their blend of stubborn defence and pacy counter-attacking football pays dividends.
		Villa boss David O'Leary looked on enviously as Juan Pablo Angel hit the bar and squandered another glorious opportunity, while teenager Steven Davis fired over the top from close range and Gareth Barry hit a post as McClaren's luck held out.

	Toon-Army.net - Newcastle United FC
		In 1924, Newcastle again lifted the FA Cup, playing in the only the second final to be held at the new Empire Stadium at Wembley, and also gaining revenge over Aston Villa, beating them 2-0.
		That year also, United signed another of their greatest players, Hughie Gallacher from Airdrie, and he proved to be a genius, being Newcastle's leading scorer for the next five seasons.
		By 1930, they were at the wrong end of the table and but for Gallacher, would have been relegated.
