Answer: Manchester United

Bosnich returned to the then European champions Manchester Utd in 1999. Bosnich had had a spell at United between 1989 and 1991. He had some big gloves to fill as Peter Schmeichel had just ended his career at Old Trafford by lifting the Champions League trophy.

2. Former Villa captain, Gareth Southgate, left the club in 2001. Which side did he join?

4. Probably the most bizarre transfer in Villa's history occurred in 1998 and involved David Unsworth. Which club did he move on to?

Answer: Everton

Unsworth's Villa career lasted less than one month. He was signed from West Ham United. However, his home was in Liverpool.

This was granted when Everton paid Villa the same amount that Villa had paid West Ham.

5. Aston Villa signed the striker Stan Collymore from Liverpool in 1997. Where did he move on to after his 2-year spell at Villa Park?

Collymore had a reputation as a trouble maker. The then Villa manager Brian Little thought he could control him. He paid a then club record fee for his services. Many saw this decision as the beginning of the end of Little's tenure in charge at Aston Villa. Collymore did not settle at Villa and moved on in 2000 having made only 60 appearances and scoring only 15 goals.

George Boateng and Andy Townsend are other ex Villa players who moved to Middlesborough in the past 10 years. This earned the north east side the nickname of Middlesvilla amongst Villa fans,

8. Darius Vassell left Villa to join West Ham United in 2005.
