  PROFILE

  Steve Staunton bid a fond farewell to Liverpool when he rejoined Premiership side Aston Villa on December 8th, 2000 on a free transfer.

  The Republic of Ireland international who originally left Anfield for Villa Park back in 1991 rejoined the Reds for a second spell in 1998. In total Staunton made 147 appearances for Liverpool, scoring six goals.

  Staunton was first signed for the Reds in 1986 by Kenny Dalglish from Irish side Dundalk, and made his first appearance in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham at Anfield in 1988. He made his international debut the following month and became first choice left back for the remainder of the season, playing in the 3-2 1989 FA Cup victory over Everton at Wembley. Staunton was also in the title winning side of 1990 before being sold in the summer of 1991 by Graeme Souness to Aston Villa for more than 1 million pounds. He picked up a League Cup winners medal with Villa before rejoining Liverpool on a free transfer under the Bosman Ruling.

  Staunton had previously made one appearance for the first team in the 2000-2001 season as a substitute in the 3-3 draw against Southampton at the Dell, and had been told by Liverpool he could leave on a free transfer.

  He then went to Selhurst Park to join First Division Crystal Palace on a month?s loan before he was recalled by Liverpool to join the squad for their UEFA Cup tie in Olympiakos on November 23rd, 2000 ? his last appearance for Liverpool.

  He made an impressive appearance as a second half substitute for Djimi Traore in Athens, and almost marked his comeback with a goal when he hit the bar with a curled free-kick. He was then scheduled to make a comeback for the first team against Newcastle at St James? Park but suffered a hamstring injury in training, before he completed the move back to Aston Villa.
