From one James Collins to another

Villa newboy James Collins is getting ready for his debut against Blues and we felt that to settle any nerves he might have a few good luck messages might do the trick...

Who better to send those heart-felt messages of support than other bearers of the name James Collins.

We searched the globe for other James Collins type people and sent dozens of emails asking them to show their support... two replied.

We are glad they did - here's what they had to say...

James Collins: Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University at Albany said simply: "Jim, best of luck with your new berth at Aston Villa."

Singer/songwriter James Collins also got in touch with this message for James:

"Hello James!
James Collins here from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I just did a google search for "James Collins" and believe it or not,
you and I are the 1st two James Collins' to pop up on google's search
engine.

This James Collins (the songwriter/singer/actor) would like to
congratulate you on your Aston Villa signing.

Now If I could only make the same kind of money as my namesake.
All I need is one worldwide hit song! I do believe in miracles.

LOL...hey, can I send you a potential football (soccer) anthem?

Seriously, I wish you all the best!
Cheers,
James Collins
