  Stan Collymore Information
Lows saw Collymore fined after refusing to play for the reserves, refusing to move closer to Merseyside from his home town of Cannock, publicly criticising manager Roy Evans and his tactics, and playing badly in the 1996 FA Cup final against Manchester United during which Collymore was substituted and Liverpool lost 1-0.
Collymore's time at Villa was eventful off the pitch, with his long-term treatment for depression earning him harsh criticism in the British tabloid press and the ridicule of manager John Gregory, but widespread public support for confronting an illness that affects so many people.
Collymore made the point after being relieved of his BBC duties that he was the subject of double standards at the BBC as the Corporation have employed and continue to employ people that have serious criminal convictions, which were far more serious than a consensual sexual activity.
