Another Rushie treble 1984 - Ian Rush scored a hat-trick past the young Nigel Spink on a frozen Villa Park pitch, as we came from behind to win 3-1 in a live Friday night BBC game, in front of 19,566 hardy fans.

The final piece of the jigsaw 1997 - Paul Ince was signed by Roy Evans from Internazionale for £4.2m.
