Within 20 minutes after signing my contract, I informed Aston Villa to void it because of what transpired during training.

Shortly after starting his first training session, former West Ham player James Collins tore up his own Aston Villa contract, but he explained to Peter Crouch and company on an episode of the That Peter Crouch Podcast that there was a good reason for it.

Collins played 51 games for Wales and more over 300 games in the Premier League and Football League.

He was crucial to Cardiff City’s 2013 promotion to the Premier League and, in 2012, to West Ham United’s ascent to the top division.

Collins was lovingly referred to as the “Ginger Pele” by the Hammers supporters while he was a member of West Ham.

This was because of his red hair and his reputation for giving it his all on game day.

On the final day of the summer transfer window in 2009, he signed a four-year contract with West Ham, starting his first chapter with Aston Villa.

In September, Collins made his league debut for Villa, helping the team keep a clean sheet against Birmingham City in the Second City Derby.

Collins tried a second stint with Aston Villa in December 2019 after rejoining West Ham in 2012, but the experience took a surprising turn.

John Terry served as Dean Smith’s assistant coach when he was hired by Villa. ‘Come up and train, and we’ll have a look at you,’ they said, Collins clarified.
