Title: McGrath on talksport
Post by: andyh on January 21, 2011, 09:28:30 AM
Lovely to hear God on Talkshite this morning.
He sounded very well, and spoke well of the club.
The best thing was that every reference to Villa was 'We'.

'We needed a striker'
'We have a good one in Bent'
'He is expensive, but WE needed to do it'
'We...this....we that......'

And when asked about his career highlights, he said one of the top ones was playing for Villa in the League Cup final against Man U.


Always a legend.

God made me late for work this morning as I just had to sit in the car park and listen to the interview. Praise the McGrath!

Was Alan Brazil talking to him? He's one of my girlfriend's regulars after the show on a Thursday and Friday in the bar she works in. Hope he doesn't drag God down there, because Brazil likes a few himself.

Why don't Villa get him involved with club, surely abit of direction in his life would be a positive thing.

Coaching, ambassadorial or something else, he was one of our greats and we should look after him.

It would be lovely but I fear not - I heard a couple of years ago that he does matchday work at Old Trafford

Doesn't matter if he did/does  ..  God works in mysterious ways.

Brazil was at Utd for a spell mid 80s,soi bet they had sessions back then with Robson and Whiteside.

Yes, thanks.   That has really made my morning, especially the multiple 'we' quotes - lovely stuff.

Another thank you here, Ozzjim.  8) It's always good to hear what Paul has to say about the Villa.

No one can doubt he was a very good player for Manchester United, but when he came to Villa he became an extraordinary player. World class.  It sometimes happens when a club and player become a perfect fit and seem to bring the best out in each other and that's what happened, for me, when we got Paul McGrath. 

Great to hear him in fine tune.

Working on match days at the villa would be a nightmare for him if you read his book. Can you imagine the temptation from the corporate drunks to get him to have a quick drink?

Good to know he sounds ok. One of my best Villa memories was sharing a can of Heineken with him a the Villa player of the year awards in 1996.

A hero.

Superb to hear him talking so well and so fondly of the Villa.

Alot of other ex players could learn alot from the way that Paul talks about us.

Good to hear him sounding well.

I'm glad he said pretty much the same as what I think as I would be committing heresy if I disagreed with him!
