Derek Mountfield Derek Mountfield ( born 2 November 1962 ) is an English former footballer who played as a centre-back . His time at top-flight clubs Everton and subsequently Aston Villa were where he gained most fame , as Everton enjoyed successful periods at this time . Aston Villa pushed for honours during the early 1990s . Playing career . Club . After turning professional , Liverpool-born Mountfield spent a season-and-a-half at local club Tranmere Rovers before moving across the River Mersey to play for Everton . He signed for £30,000 prior to the 1982–83 season . He formed a defensive partnership with Kevin Ratcliffe and helped the club to victory in the 1984 FA Cup Final against Watford and to the Football League title the following season . Everton also reached the FA Cup final that season , and won the European Cup Winners Cup in Rotterdam . He also won another League championship medal in 1987 . In league matches , he scored an average of one goal every 5.6 matches and in one season , he scored 14 goals in all competitions . However , his first team chances became limited at Everton following the arrival of Dave Watson in August 1986 , and injuries did not help his chances of first team football either . After appearing in just nine out of 40 First Division games for Everton in 1987–88 , a £400,000 fee took him to newly promoted Aston Villa in June 1988 . He was a regular in the Villa defence for the next three years , helping secure their First Division survival in 1988–89 . In 1989–90 , it looked as though Mountfield would add another league title medal to the two he won with Everton , as Villa topped the First Division on several occasions , but eventually they finished second behind champions Liverpool . However , the appointment of Ron Atkinson as Villa manager in June 1991 signalled a new era at Villa Park , and Mountfield was not part of Atkinsons plans as he bought Shaun Teale to partner Paul McGrath in the centre of defence , and Mountfield made just two more appearances for Villa before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in November 1991 . He stayed for three-and-a-half years , playing 80 league games , but after 1994 his career was spent outside the top two tiers of English football . He first spent a season with Carlisle United , helping them win promotion to Division Two as Division Three champions , before a brief spell at Northampton Town . He then began a spell as player , coach and captain of Walsall . Indeed , such was the measure of respect he was held in by many at the club , he was one of the favourites to replace Jan Sorensen as manager in the summer of 1998 . However , the job went to former Aston Villa winger Ray Graydon , and Mountfield left the club to pursue his managerial ambitions . His final club as a player was Scarborough , and he played six Division Three games for them late in the 1998–99 season , but was unable to prevent their relegation from the Football League . International . Mountfield was selected to participate in the 1984 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship . He made his début at Bramall Lane in the second leg of the final versus Spain which England won 2–0 . England beat Spain 3–0 on aggregate . It was the only England U21 cap that Mountfield received . He represented England at B level later in his career . Managerial career . In 2000 , League of Ireland team Cork City appointed former Shelbourne boss Colin Murphy as successor to Dave Barry . Murphy stayed for one Super Cup game before departing to Leicester City . In the lurch , facing a UEFA Cup tie against Lausanne Sports , the club brought in Mountfield . He had a turbulent ride in his first managerial appointment , the team lacking consistency , goals and luck . After relative success in preceding seasons crowds again dwindled as the team struggled and the increasingly unpopular Mountfield was sacked in January , after just six months in charge and a 4–0 defeat at home to St Patricks Athletic .
