[Billy Walker]

No doubt that McGrath is the best player I've seen at Villa....but better than Bergkamp and/or Cantona? No Way.

He was miles better than the pair of 'em.

Yes he was.

[He wears a magic hat]

I cant understand this love in for cantona.

Good player yes but great never

you can real off players who were better than him without even thinking about it

i honestly dont think id pick him in any all time premiership side where as mcgrath would walk in.

Paul mcgrath is by far and away the greatest defender that its been my pleasure to see.

Total garbage.

It's always hard comparing defenders with attacking players, as obviously people will always appreciate the end result of a goal, especially the sort Bergkamp used to score.  But McGrath is the best defender I've ever seen, and the only one who was a joy to watch.  So he wins in my eyes.  Dwight Yorke was better than Cantona anyway.

You have it in a nutshell.

The best defender I have ever seen. The youtube of him defending against Italy, with Roberto Baggio in his back pocket is sublime. Knowing now that he was struggling with alcohol and painkiller addiction makes it all the more remarkable.

Paul McGrath was one of the best centre halves to ever play the game. He is up there with the very best, certainly in the top one.

You cannot say the same about Begkamp or Cantona.

I saw most of Paul's games home and away for us and apart from a day at the baseball ground when dean Saunders gave him the run around i can't really recall seeing him have a stinker- his level of consistency and performance were outstanding - i had the privilege of having a drink with paul at the Mikita tournament at Wembley in 1990 (he had  an orange may i add) and found him to be a really nice bloke - the word legend is often overused.

Paul McGrath was and  always will be a real legend!
