Agony and ecstasy as Stan Collymore (R) turns away after scoring the Liverpools 4th and winning goal at Anfield, when they beat the visitors Newcastle United 4-3 in their FA Carling Premiership match at Anfield, Newcastle's Phillipe Albert closes his eyes in dispair. 01/10/03: Stan Collymore (front) in action for Aston Villa. Former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore is keen to make a playing comeback next year. Collymore was one of the most talented strikers of his generation and was tipped for international honours but a series of off-field problems culminated in him retiring from the game at the age of 30 after a move to Spanish side Oviedo went wrong. He will be free to play professionally again in January 2004 when a FIFA ban imposed on him for retiring while under contract is lifted and he insists a number of clubs are interested in giving him another chance.
