[edit]

Stefan Moore captained Villa's youth in the final, and was named as man of the match as Villa beat Everton in the first leg.[1]

Wayne Rooney scored eight goals in eight games during Everton's run to the 2002 finals.[2] This included one goal in the final defeat against Aston Villa and, upon scoring, he revealed a T-shirt that read, "Once a Blue, always a Blue."[3]
