Em relação aos outros participantes do processo eleitoral, a chapa “União Coxa” (capitaneada por João Carlos Vialle) ficou com 19,11% dos votos enquanto a “Coritiba Responsável”, do atual mandatário que buscava a reeleição Samir Namur, obteve 5,12%.
Além de ser filho de Renatinho Follador, ex-jogador do Verdão nos anos 50, o presidente que assume a função já na próxima quarta-feira (30) também chegou a atuar no clube do Alto da Glória na década de 70.
Depois disso, ele chegou a se formar em Engenharia Civil, mas ganhou notoriedade na área de Previdência Social onde chegou a ocupar a Secretaria de Previdência do setor quando Jaime Lerner foi o Governador, fato que ocorreu entre 1995 e 2003 em dois mandatos consecutivos.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has done some exemplary work in taking his side into title contention just months into his reign, and there is a growing sense that the best is yet to come.
After enduring a testing, unrewarding 2022/23 campaign, finishing eighth in the Premier League, dismissing their fourth manager in as many years (Antonio Conte, proven winner), and acquiescing to the sale of world-class talisman Harry Kane.
One constant, like an immovable rock against the gushing tide, is chairman Daniel Levy, who has led from the boardroom with diligence if proving to be an elusive and enigmatic figure at times.
His no-nonsense negotiating has worked both ways over his career in London, and while Tottenham have experienced some difficulties over recent years, it is all coming together at present.
That being said, Levy, Postecoglou, and co will be determined to sustain this brilliant purple patch and put Tottenham in a place that will allow them to compete for major honours and European nights with regularity, with the club sure to be busy in the transfer market in 2024.
Tottenham's key transfer targets
If the recent rumours are to be believed, Spurs are seeking to suffuse future additions across the squad, not restricting the improvements to any one department.
The interest in Juventus winger Federico Chiesa is one murmuring to keep an eye on, with Italian outlet Calciomercato revealing that Tottenham and Newcastle United are monitoring his situation, with the Serie A side setting a £52m asking price.
Juventus forward Federico Chiesa.
Chiesa could bring some dynamism and impetus to the frontline but whether Levy is willing to meet such a high fee in the winter window remains to be seen, and, as such, it could be the defensive line that receives attention first.
According to a report in Spain, Borussia Monchengladbach centre-half Ko Itakura, aged 26, is in Postecoglou's sights as Tottenham seek to bolster their defensive ranks.
With his contract expiring in June and having yet to play this term, Eric Dier looks set to depart next year, and some reliable depth for Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven could be crucial over the coming years.
The Japan star could prove to be an astute and cost-friendly acquisition if Spurs are able to strike a deal to secure his services during the upcoming January transfer window.
Why Tottenham are interested in Ko Itakura
Itakura, formerly of Manchester City, has been an impressive figure in the Bundesliga since joining for €5m (£4m) in July 2022, having previously impressed on loan with Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga 2.
Die Knappen returned to the first division after suffering relegation and Itakura was at the heart of the success, starting 30 appearances, scoring four goals, completing 87% of his passes, and averaging 0.5 key passes, 3.0 clearances and 1.4 tackles and interceptions per game, as per Sofascore.
Japan's Ko Itakura
Now an integral member of Gerardo Seoane's squad, the 6 foot 2 titan started 22 times in the league last season, having impressed across seven displays so far this term, scoring twice, completing 89% of his passes, making 4.4 ball recoveries, 3.0 clearances and 1.7 tackles and interceptions per match.
He is clearly a robust and tenacious force at the back, and Tottenham could make good use of his qualities, having been originally signed by Manchester City in 2019 when he was 21 years old for his ball-playing ability and versatility as a centre-back and in a holding midfield role.
City reject turned "immense" modern defender
Such qualities seem to make Itakura a tailor-made replacement for Dier, who is poised for a poignant exit after completing 360 appearances for the Lilywhites.
As per FBref, the 22-cap international ranks among the top 13% of centre-backs across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for goals, the top 12% for pass completion rate, and the top 6% for blocks per 90, emphasising his offensive value, crispness in possession and steely value in the rearguard.
The £32k-per-week colossus was once hailed as "one of the very best central defenders in the Eredivisie" by pundit Hans Kraay, who also remarked on the "incredibly fast" gem.
And according to the German Bundesliga's official website, his playing style aligns with one-time Tottenham phenom Jan Vertonghen's, with his 'rangy and quick' approach and regular deployment on the left side of the defence bolstered by a passing ability not too dissimilar to the Belgian's, who was once described as a "dominant centre-half" by The Times' Henry Winter.
To underscore his talent, Barcelona were hoping to sign the now-36-year-old in 2014, who boasted the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta at the time; if Itakura is mentioned in the same breath this can only be a testament to his own pedigree in making impressive passes.
Vertonghen signed for Tottenham for around £10m in 2012 and played 313 games for the club, scoring 14 goals and supplying seven assists, leaving as a "Tottenham legend" – according to journalist Jack Pitt-Brooke.

An assured passer and an active presence in stifling offensive threats, Vertonghen was crucial to the defensive might of Tottenham's team, and while he did not glean major silverware, he left his indelible mark on the Premier League after years of stalwart service.
Given that Itakura offers a similarly high output of defensive action, balances his craft and retains an impressive level of control with his distribution, he really could be the perfect heir, with his two-footedness also a factor.
By signing Itakura, Tottenham would not only secure a big upgrade on Dier but would wield a player of the same ilk as Vertonghen, who established himself as one of the finest defenders of Spurs' recent history, playing a central role in the halcyon days of Mauricio Pochettino.
It could prove to be a masterful signing as Postecoglou looks to strengthen his team and build it fit for title-winning purpose, with the knowledge that European exploits could lay just around the corner.
Levy and the Australian coach must now navigate the January transfer window to secure a deal for the Bundesliga ace at the start of next year, in order to bolster the squad for the second half of the 2023/24 campaign.
Everton secured a solid point against Brighton & Hove Albion at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon
The Toffees took a surprise early lead through Vitaliy Mykolenko and just as it looked like the hosts had held on for an invaluable three points, an Ashley Young own goal saved the Seagulls blushes six minutes from time.
That equaliser rewarded their dominance throughout the contest having recorded a whopping 80% possession and 866 passes to Everton's 208, although Sean Dyche's side did restrict them to only seven shots on goal, providing evidence of the strong defence formed under his stewardship.
James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite were at the heart of their defensive solidity, winning a combined six aerials, successfully completing seven long balls and making three tackles, as per Sofascore.

Not every player covered themselves in glory against Brighton, however, with Jack Harrison registering fewer touches than goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and unfortunately, let the contest pass him by.
The on-loan Leeds United winger must therefore be dropped ahead of Everton's trip to Crystal Palace next Saturday.
Harrison's performance vs Brighton
Harrison endured his most difficult afternoon at Goodison Park since arriving from Leeds in the summer.
Whilst he was left embarrassed having made fewer touches than Pickford (28 / 43), he was wasteful on the rare occasions he touched the ball, especially in the creative department, registering a simply dreadful pass completion rate of 21%.
The 26-year-old failed to record a single effort on goal but perhaps more alarmingly, the fleet-footed winger completed zero dribbles and offered his team very little on the counter-attack, as Everton were forced into soaking up pressure.

Harrison's inaccuracies in possession were also exemplified by his horrible end product in the final third, skewing all three of his attempted long balls and providing Dominic Calvert-Lewin with no ammunition into the box as he failed to plant a single cross into the corridor of uncertainty.
The £90k per-week wide man, who lost possession a whopping 17 times, somehow managed to last the full ninety minutes on the pitch, perhaps emphasising the need for Dyche to strengthen in January.
Unfortunately for Harrison, this isn't the only occasion that he's failed to provide a spark down the flank this term.
Harrison's numbers this season
In five Premier League appearances for Everton, Harrison has scored once and supplied two assists.
Whilst those are decent statistics on paper, two of those three contributions did come in a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, who are struggling at the bottom of the table.
During his time at Leeds in the top flight, he was described by left-back Junior Firpo as "one of the best wingers" as he used to strike fear into defenders with his searing pace and quick changes of direction.
With Harrison perhaps being held by the shackles of Dyche's system, he's been unable to emulate a similar threat at Goodison Park, recording just 0.6 dribbles per game, 0.8 key passes and a 68% pass completion.
The 5 foot 9 ace has also seen his attacking metrics drop significantly in the past year, ranking in the bottom 38% against his positional peers across Europe's top five leagues for progressive passes, bottom 33% for successful take-ons and bottom 32% for non-penalty xG, as per FBref.
That said, the Englishman must start to see an improvement in those metrics, in particular, if he is to avoid being dropped by Dyche in the future.
تحدث إيهاب الكومي، عضو مجلس إدارة الاتحاد المصري لكرة القدم، عن كواليس قائمة منتخب مصر الأولمبي المشاركة في أولمبياد باريس 2024، مشيرًا إلى رفض بعض الأندية إرسال لاعبيها.
وستنطلق منافسات أولمبياد باريس 2024 يوم الجمعة الموافق 26 يوليو حتى الأحد 11 أغسطس المقبل.
وقال إيهاب الكومي في تصريحات عبر قناة “صدى البلد”: “يوجد إساءة من جانب السوشيال ميديا لاتحاد الكرة وهو أمر مرفوض، نشكر الأهلي أنه ترك لاعبيه رغم منافسته في بطولة الدوري، ونشكر بيراميدز، ونشكر الزمالك أنه ترك 4 لاعبين أساسيين وموقف يحسب لإدارة نادي لزمالك”.

وواصل: “أتمنى من الجهات المسؤولة في مصر أن تتحرك تجاه حل أي مشكلة، ليس طبيعي أن سبب كل هذه الأمور مشكلة واحدة”.
وأردف: “الدورة الأوليمبية ليست ضمن الأجندة الدولية، بدأنا نرى الثلاثة الكبار، الأندية الخارجية رفضت انضمام لاعبيها سواء ليفربول أو تريزيجيه أو مرموش في الدوري الألماني، على الرغم من أن أشرف صبحي بذل مجهودا كبيرا في موضوع تريزيجيه ودخل سفارتنا في تركيا لكن ناديه رفض، وحمدي فتحي مع نادي وكرة القطري، أصبح لا يوجد لدينا غير الدوري المصري”.
واستطرد: “الدوري ينافس عليه بشراسة الأهلي وبيراميدز، أشكر حسين لبيب قال تحت أمركم في أي لاعب كبير، والمنافسة بعدت عنهم، موقف يحسب لادارة الزمالك”.
وأفاد: “من المستحيل تأجيل بطولة الدوري وسط حجم الارتباطات الكبيرة للمنتخب الأول في الفترة المقبلة”.
وأتم: “ميكالي قال أريد النني وزيزو ولن أحتاج أي أحد آخر، ولكي نصل إلى هذا الحل لم يكن من السهولة”.

Manchester United are set to be without one of their senior first-team players during today’s Premier League game vs Brighton and Hove Albion, according to a fresh update.
What's the latest injury news at Man United?
Ahead of this afternoon’s encounter with the Seagulls, due to kick-off at 3pm at Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are both available for selection, but he also revealed that there are a couple of his squad members on the sidelines.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference, the Red Devils manager named Mason Mount and Raphael Varane as two stars that are definitely ruled out of the clash against Roberto De Zerbi’s side, but someone who was initially a doubt heading into this fixture was new signing Sofyan Amrabat.
The Moroccan joined the club over the summer on a season-long loan from Fiorentina but is yet to pull on the shirt having failed to register in time to be involved in the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, and he’s since suffered an even further setback.
During the international break, the defensive midfielder had to withdraw from his nation’s squad after sustaining a minor injury which will have caused concern among supporters, and even though it’s not thought to be a serious, long-term issue, he still isn’t ready to feature.
How long is Sofyan Amrabat out for?
Speaking to MUTV on Friday, Ten Hag was asked whether Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon, who is also on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, would be able to stage a comeback soon. As quoted by the club’s official website, he replied:
"I think so, yeah. We are a little bit short of defenders, so [Reguilon] can come quickly. Amrabat, he came back unfortunately with the injury, so he will not be available for tomorrow [Saturday], but I think, on the short notice [soon], yes. And I'm sure we will all get joy from them."
Fiorentina's former midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
How good is Sofyan Amrabat?
Despite Amrabat being yet to make his debut for Man United, Ten Hag will know what he’s capable of having previously been dubbed a “monster” by reporter Carlo Garganese, therefore, it will be a blow to the coach to not have him at his disposal for the match vs Brighton.
The Huizen native, who pockets £65k-per-week, is extremely calm and composed on the ball having recorded an 89.8% pass success rate last season in the Serie A, and he also loves to get stuck in having averaged 1.3 tackles per game, via WhoScored.
Sponsored by Nike, the 27-year-old is additionally a versatile operator having been deployed in eight different positions since the start of his career, including everywhere across the midfield and the backline, so he is a fantastic option for the boss to have available should any roles need covering due to unexpected injuries.
Finally, Amrabat has secured four senior trophies since first bursting onto the scene so he knows what it takes to compete and be successful at the highest level, meaning that whenever he is back to full fitness, he will be able to pass his winning mentality onto the rest of the squad in M16.
Aston Villa have strengthened their squad with some impressive signings this summer, but another defensive addition could still arrive, according to an update from journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Will Aston Villa make more signings?
A productive summer in the transfer market was needed at Villa Park, in order to kick on from last season, where so much progress was made under Unai Emery. Almost from nowhere, he made his side one of the most formidable outside the traditional 'big six', qualifying for the UEFA Europa Conference League in the process.
Big things are expected this time around, following the additions of players such as Pau Torres, Youri Tielemans and Moussa Diaby, and while the 5-1 defeat at Newcastle United on the opening weekend was a shock to the system, last Sunday's 4-0 win at home to Everton steadied the ship, suggesting that another good campaign lies ahead.
While Villa fans will likely feel very content with the transfer business their club has conducted since the end of last season, there is still time to bring in more new faces, should Emery feel like it is needed between now and next Friday's cutoff.
Left-back is one area that may well be strengthened, with Lucas Digne's future at the club unclear, and it looks as though a Premier League player could be a potential target.
Will Aston Villa sign Nuno Tavares?
Speaking to Give Me Sport, Romano talked up the idea of Villa sealing the signing of Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares before the end of the current transfer window:
"Tavares was very close to joining Nottingham Forest, but then they had problems in the negotiation, so the deal collapsed between the clubs Arsenal in Nottingham Forest last week. My expectation is for Aston Villa to consider Tavares also this week."
Tavares could be an interesting signing by Villa this summer, with the 23-year-old struggling to enjoy playing time for Arsenal, given the strength of the defensive options at Mikel Arteta's disposal, and going on loan to Marseille last season.
He still has two years remaining on his current Gunners deal, so they aren't necessarily in a huge rush to sell him, but it doesn't appear as though he has any future at the Emirates.
Granted, some Villans supporters could question if Tavares is a good enough option to bring in, in terms of signing an outcast from one of the Premier League's top sides, but he is still a young player and Arteta himself has lauded him as "very gifted" in the past and now appears to be at the top of his game with a career-high Transfermarkt valuation following a loan spell in France.
Read the latest Aston Villa transfer news HERE…
Therefore, Tavares could be a good option for Emery and be someone desperate to kick on in their career and thrive under a fresh challenge.
The Portuguese has Premier League experience, making 22 appearances in it to date, and his best years could be ahead of him, which may well be spent at Villa, playing a part in their continued resurgence with Emery at the helm, making this one to keep an eye on.
West Ham United are set to display some real ambition before transfer deadline day as journalist Dean Jones shares what he's heard on their plans.
Who will West Ham sign?
Earlier this week, Mexico international midfielder Edson Alvarez put pen to paper on a move to the London Stadium from Ajax, ending West Ham's long wait for a first summer signing.
The 25-year-old could even feature against Bournemouth this afternoon as manager David Moyes gears up for an opening weekend clash on the south coast.
Alvarez, who will wear the number 19 shirt, could well be joined by the likes of Southampton star James Ward-Prowse and Man United defender Harry Maguire fairly shortly.
That has even been backed by Moyes himself, who also says that treble-winning Man City have made an offer for midfielder Lucas Paqueta, but it's nowhere near West Ham's valuation of the Brazil international.
"We've had an offer from Manchester City [for Paqueta] but at the moment it's not anywhere near meeting our valuation," Moyes said on Friday.
"James Ward-Prowse is having a medical just now. We've agreed a fee but it's not right I speak about him as he's not yet our player.
"We've had a bid accepted from Manchester United [for Maguire], but while he's not our player I'm not in a position to discuss him really."
Despite the long wait, it appears West Ham are at long last getting players through the door, coming after they sold both Declan Rice and Gianluca Scamacca.
Read the latest West Ham transfer news HERE…
Jones, speaking to GiveMeSport, says the Irons could be set for a "massive month" and could even make as many as five new signings before deadline day.
He also hints that Chelsea midfielder Trevoh Chalobah may be one of the names to come in and bolster Moyes' options.
"At a time when Chelsea are offloading players they don’t think are quite good enough, it feels like a good opportunity West Ham could take advantage of," said Jones.
"I think he could actually survive at Chelsea, just about, but I also think he has bigger aspirations than that, and I’ve heard he has been open to listening to new opportunities.
"We’re looking at a massive month ahead for the Hammers, they will sign five players and have to find a way to make this all add up so they have a much stronger squad.
"As part of that they are looking for perfect partnerships all over the pitch and if Chalobah was to come in I think he would complement someone like Kurt Zouma."
How good is Trevoh Chalobah?
Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.
Reports suggest that Chelsea and manager Mauricio Pochettino are willing to part ways with Chalobah this summer.
The 24-year-old featured fairly regularly for Chelsea last season, making a total of 25 league appearances whilst averaging a noteworthy 88.5% passing accuracy in the middle of the park.
Chalobah's top flight experience will be a big draw for manager Moyes, who could be looking to shore up his midfield even further if Paqueta does depart for City.
Indeed, the stage is set for what may well be a pivotal final few weeks of the window for West Ham.
Of all the Premier League fixtures that are set to kickstart the new season, few games boast as much history as Newcastle United’s clash with Aston Villa.
Two absolute heavyweights of English football clash in what promises to be one of their most electric curtain-raisers in recent history, making it no surprise that it has been shifted for TV scheduling.
Fans can look forward to a much-anticipated 5.30pm kick-off on Saturday 12th August, knowing how important a win could be in realising the long-term ambitions of these evolving clubs.
Both secured European football against all the odds last term, and with that to contend with as well as a continued challenge in the league, it will be a juggling act for Eddie Howe and Unai Emery.
Although, with a host of new faces only adding to the excitement building around this clash, every facet of this game suggests it will be a thriller. The only hope is that those stars can treat the fans to such a delight after a busy day of fixtures before it.
Ahead of the game, Football FanCast takes a look at the head-to-head records between the teams.
Newcastle United vs Aston Villa: Who has the better head-to-head record?
John McGinn
Despite Aston Villa enjoying a history more laden with silverware, it is actually the Magpies who have enjoyed more success when the two have faced one another.
Their tumultuous history of failed title challenges and relegation has made them a tricky club to contend with, but their unrelenting support has remained throughout. A winless period for the Midlands club in the 2010s, which will be touched upon later, likely helped emphasise this gulf.
As such, they have enjoyed 14 more wins over the Villans, with the spoils having been shared on 39 occasions too.
Newcastle wins: 73 Draws: 40 Aston Villa wins: 58 Newcastle United vs Aston Villa: Who has more wins at St James’ Park?
St James' Park
The home advantage that St James' Park offers is showcased dramatically in the data, as Newcastle United have recorded a mammoth 52 victories when welcoming Aston Villa to Tyneside.
Just 14 wins on the road emphasise this dominance, with the fear factor that this football-crazed city brings on full show.
Given that Champions League football is finally set to return to this cathedral of football, that atmosphere is only certain to improve in the coming years.
Newcastle wins: 52 Draws: 19 Aston Villa wins: 14 Newcastle United vs Aston Villa: Who has more wins at Villa Park?
Villa Park
Although the disparity is not quite as dramatic when venturing up to Newcastle, Aston Villa unsurprisingly enjoy far greater success when backed by their own home support.
As one of the most iconic grounds in the country, with splendid stain-glassed windows to further showcase its uniqueness, an equally impressive reception comes with playing at this ground.
As such, the home side has triumphed on 25 more occasions, though they will have to battle to retain such a record as the Magpies continue to develop under their new ownership.
Aston Villa wins: 43 Draws: 21 Newcastle wins: 20 Newcastle United vs Aston Villa: Who has the better cup record?
FA Cup
As two of the most famous and successful clubs in English football history, it is no surprise that the two have enjoyed some famous cup battles against one another. However, with regard to domestic honours, it is Aston Villa who come out on top.
Their tally of seven FA Cups and five EFL Cups dwarfs that of their opening-day opponents, who despite winning the FA Cup on five occasions, are yet to win the latter. They came close last season, but were thwarted in the final by rivals Manchester United.
This dominance shows up in their head-to-head clashes within cup competitions, with the Villans recording two more victories over the Magpies, having last met in the 3rd round of the FA Cup back in 2000/01.

NUFC vs AVFC
15th April 2023 – Aston Villa 3-0 Newcastle United: As both sides sought to make their unlikely pushes for European football a reality, two of the most in-form teams in the Premier League clashed at Villa Park.
However, stunning the visitors, Emery unleashed a masterclass on Newcastle United as Jacob Ramsey's opener and Ollie Watkins' brace resigned Howe to a crushing defeat. Both sides would still finish in European spots.
29th October 2022 – Newcastle United 4-0 Aston Villa: Having sacked Steven Gerrard after a torrid run of form, caretaker boss Aaron Danks was handed the unenviable task of taking his side to one of the toughest grounds in the country.
The result almost seemed a formality, and although it took 45 minutes for the first goal to come, a further three would follow. Miguel Almiron would continue his fantastic start to the season with another goal.
13th February 2022 – Newcastle United 1-0 Aston Villa: Despite the upturn in form Gerrard’s appointment had initially brought, it proved no match for the similarly impressive job that Howe would complete in securing their survival.
It was Kieran Trippier’s powerful deflected free kick that separated the sides, and despite Ollie Watkins heading home an equaliser, it was ruled out for offside.
21st August 2021 – Aston Villa 2-0 Newcastle United: With a renewed sense of hope surrounding Villa Park, Danny Ings lit up his new home on what was his first appearance in the stadium. As an innocuous ball floated up in the air, an acrobatic bicycle kick sent fans into raptures. Anwar El Ghazi’s penalty later in the game would seal up the three points.
12th March 2021 – Newcastle United 1-1 Aston Villa: In what was a largely mundane encounter on Tyneside, the final five minutes saw the clash explode into life.
Ollie Watkins’ header struck Ciaran Clark to hand Aston Villa the lead before Newcastle United's Jamaal Lascelles rescued a point with a late header of his own. This put the Magpies just two points from the relegation zone, although they would comfortably avoid the drop in the end.
Who has played for Newcastle United and Aston Villa?
James Milner
James Milner (Newcastle United 2004-2008; Aston Villa 2008-2010): A true staple of modern English football, this 37-year-old workhorse has been all around the block.
Capitalising on Leeds United’s financial troubles, Newcastle first snagged him from his boyhood club. Slowly integrating at first, a loan to Aston Villa helped kickstart his career on Tyneside before he moved to Villa Park permanently.
There, he would win the PFA Young Player of the Year award before a mouth-watering bid from the up-and-coming Manchester City forced another sale.
David Ginola (Newcastle United 1995-1997; Aston Villa 2000-2002): Having shone for Paris Saint-Germain, it was expected that his exit would invoke the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the market.
However, as Kevin Keegan sought to turn Newcastle United into their own powerhouse, he offered a strong financial incentive to tempt the wizard to Tyneside. The Frenchman starred as they failed in their attempt for the title.
Leaving for Tottenham Hotspur, and subsequently winning PFA Player of the Year, he was reluctantly sold to Aston Villa. His time in the Midlands was marred by a dispute with manager John Gregory and a two-match ban he would receive for stamping on an opposition player.
Shay Given (Newcastle United 1997-2009; Aston Villa 2011-2015): Struggling to break through at a title-winning Blackburn Rovers side, Given would move to Newcastle United as part of Kenny Dalglish’s revolution.
Over a decade later, he had made 463 appearances, having challenged for numerous elite honours with little success.
Leaving despite being just 34 games away from breaking the club’s appearance record, a two-year stint at Manchester City saw him eventually join up at Villa Park. He would even enjoy a stint as temporary assistant, whilst starring as his side reached the 2015 FA Cup final.
Nolberto Solano (Newcastle United 1998-2004, 2005-2007; Aston Villa 2004-2005): Moving to Tyneside from Boca Juniors, Nolberto ‘Nobby’ Solano became the first Peruvian player to play in England.
He was a fan favourite around St James’ Park, even describing himself as an “adopted Geordie”. Despite that, he enjoyed a one-year hiatus in the Midlands after his relationship with Bobby Robson had soured, finishing that season as their top scorer.
Despite that, he would relish the opportunity to return to his favoured club in 2005.

Bruno Guimaraes
22nd August 2010 – Newcastle United 6-0 Aston Villa – In what was just the second game of this Premier League campaign, the Magpies ran riot in front of a thrilled St James' Park.
Joey Barton would hand them an early lead before Andy Carroll stole the show with his stunning hat trick. One BBC report even stated he had performed "reminiscent of former Magpies number nine Alan Shearer in his pomp." He would leave for Liverpool in a £35m move just six months later.

Jacob Ramsey
29th November 1902 – Aston Villa 7-0 Newcastle United – In front of just 10,000 fans at Villa Park, this rampant pre-wartime side put the Magpies to the sword with their biggest win in over three years.
Goals were spread out amongst the team, but Joe Bache and George Johnson's braces stood out amongst Bobby Templeton and Alex Leake's strikes.
Aston Villa would finish second this campaign, missing out on the title by just one point.
Key match stats
Eddie Howe
This will be the 172nd meeting between these two teams. Between 2011 and 2019, Aston Villa failed to register a single victory against Newcastle United, home or away. Whilst the highest-scoring match in Premier League history is Portsmouth’s 7-4 win over Reading, a Division One clash back in 1928 saw these sides play out a 7-5 thriller in which Aston Villa came out on top.

Patrick Kluivert
30th September 1996 – Newcastle United 4-3 Aston Villa (Premier League): Just one year after Kevin Keegan’s infamous “I would love it if we beat them” rant, the Magpies were once again pushing for the title.
However, a stubborn visiting Villa side would pose an early threat to that, as Dwight Yorke’s hat-trick forced them to their limits.
A Les Ferdinand brace and goals from Alan Shearer and Steve Howey saw them edge this contest, but again fall short of Manchester United in the race for the league.
28th August 2004 – Aston Villa 4-2 Newcastle United (Premier League): During a campaign in which both sides finished comfortably in mid-table, these two heavyweights put on quite the show at Villa Park as goals were exchanged freely.
When Olof Mellberg had the hosts in front after four minutes, the visitors likely expected the worst. However, Patrick Kluivert and Andy O’Brien were on hand to have the Magpies ahead at the break.
A second-half collapse saw the game shift once again, as Carlton Cole, Gareth Barry and Juan Pablo Angel all scored for Villa to compound a crushing victory.
