Fond farewell: West Ham fans will always be indebted to Marlon Harewood for scoring the winner in the FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park

He follows team-mate Nigel Reo-Coker from West Ham after O'Neill gazumped the Lancashire club.

Harewood's agent Mick McGuire said last night: "Marlon has been in talks with Villa and everything should be concluded soon. Villa have come in at the 11th hour to take him."
