Where are they now? The Newcastle United side from the infamous 2005 Aston Villa clash

Aston Villa have not beaten Newcastle United at St James' Park for nearly 17 years but that is not what springs to mind when their 3-0 win in April 2005 is recalled.

The visitors were clinical on the day and swept the Magpies aside in impressive fashion but when a fight broke out between Newcastle teammates Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer, headlines were rewritten.

Newcastle had already been reduced to 10 men following the dismissal of Steven Taylor and ended the game with just eight players as both Bowyer and Dyer were shown red cards.

The two sides meet again on Sunday afternoon and hopefully, the goalkeepers will be the only players putting their fists to use.

ChronicleLive have taken a trip down memory lane and investigated what every player included in the Newcastle squad that day is now doing.

A former stalwart between the sticks, Given spent nine seasons on the books at St James' Park.

He hung up his gloves in 2017 after a spell with Stoke City and is now trying to help Wayne Rooney keep Derby County afloat in the Championship as first-team coach.

The former France international retired in 2013 having had spells at Juventus, Lyon and Panathinaikos after leaving Tyneside in 2006.

He has worked as a consultant for TV station beIN Sports and also had a spell as part of the Cameroon national team's coaching staff during Clarence Seedorf's reign.

In a professional career that spanned 20 years, Carr represented just three clubs - Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle and Birmingham City.

He did not follow the conventional path into coaching following retirement as many players do and instead moved to Marbella to focus on business ventures.

The former right-back also has his own clothing brand named One of One.
