		Flitcroft is a better player than Aki, thats actually not even close to being an argument, but I'm in agreement also with those who don't think we should sign him.
		If Flitcroft is not in Hughes' plans, you can be sure he has a good reason (like broken-down player, usually injured these days).
		Flitcroft has floated in and out of various mediocre sides and would be the perfect definition of a journeyman pro, the sort the game can't do without, but is never a real influence.

	Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Football - Garry Flitcroft has respect for Graeme Souness, and a similar style of play
		Now Flitcroft performs the role simply with well-chosen words, the man signed to the Lancashire club from Bury for £3.5m in March 1996 by Kenny Dalglish doing his master’s bidding without the need to instil fear or rely on force.
		Flitcroft claims the pair have a "tremendous amount" of mutual respect and that as a player he has gone from "strength to strength" since being given the armband by what he describes as "a man manager".
		Where Flitcroft is concerned, any deficiencies in the ranks would seem to pale when set against the disappointing showing from Celtic in the first leg.

	Observer \| How captain Garry ignored all advice and scored an own goal
		Garry Flitcroft used the law to stop his infidelity becoming public - but his plan has misfired.
		When the Sunday People discovered Garry Flitcroft was playing away from home, it planned to run the story but bury it deep inside the paper's news section.
		Flitcroft's relative obscurity, and the fact he plays for unfashionable Blackburn Rovers, meant his indiscretions with a lapdancer and a nursery nurse were likely to prove a brief, and quickly-forgotten, soccer scandal - except, perhaps, for his wife Karen, the mother of his two children.

		Flitcroft has always been recognised as a genuine box-to-box player who usually weighs in with his share of goals.

		Flitcroft goes into tomorrow's FA Cup semi-final showdown against Arsenal determined to make amends for missing Rovers' Worthington Cup triumph in 2002 as he was suspended after being sent off in the second leg of their semi-final win over Sheffield Wednesday.
		Three seasons ago Flitcroft, who was then club captain, was forced to watch from the sidelines as his team-mates went on to the lift the Worthington Cup with a 2-1 win over Spurs.
		Flitcroft is fit despite requiring eight stitches in a gash down his left shin and should be part of an unchanged team following last Saturday's 3-0 win over Southampton, leaving Robbie Savage on the bench after his recent recovery from a groin injury.

		Flitcroft started his career at Manchester City and came through the ranks from the youth set-up to make his debut in 1991.
		However, the red card stood and Flitcroft was forced to watch from the stands as Rovers beat Spurs 2-1 in the final to win their biggest bit of silverware since the Premiership title in 1994/95.

	Flitcroft Forced Into Retirement - BRFCS.COM
		Garry was a Rovers legend, he wasnt great on the ball, but if every Rovers player of the last ten years had showed the commitment and determination that he did we would never have fallen to the slums of Div 1.
		I just don't see how Garry Flitcroft can be called a 'loyal servant' of Blackburn UNLESS he resisted overtures from bigger and more affluent clubs to stay with his beloved Rovers.
		As Flopsy said, Flitcroft was a modest player on excellent terms at Rovers and hence never moved higher up in the world of footy.

	RTÉ Sport: United beaten on Keane's return
		Former Manchester City midfielder Garry Flitcroft struck five minutes before the break to punish United for missing several chances and deny them the chance to go second, while the three points takes Rovers to ninth, twelve points behind leaders Arsenal.
		Alex Ferguson's side had won their previous eight games and had not lost to Blackburn for eight years, but skipper Flitcroft's goal and a virtually flawless defensive performance was enough to put an end to those records.
		After Flitcroft had driven the ball in to give the home side a half-time lead, Blackburn maintained their poise for the second half and even Roy Keane's first appearance since August 31 could not change the course of the game.
