What are Macca's feelings on Brian Little? It's been years since I read Paul's book. I mean he played most games in 95/96 and that season was arguably better than 89/90 or 92/93 but I wonder did they have the same bond.
There was one game against Liverpool where the ball was coming towards McGrath in the area with Robbie Fowler (at the height of his powers) in close attendance. McGrath brought it down and went past Fowler like he wasn't there. I'm probably describing it really badly, but it was an audacious bit of skill, that if somebody like Konsa tried it these days would end up us being 1-0 down.
I think it is gone now, but the youtube of just his involvements in that world cup match against Italy is absolutely incredible.

Now that I have got the dust out of my eye after reading mrfuse's post I should like to ask this question in all seriousness,have you ever seen a better Villa player?Andy Gray first time round ,David Platt,Sid and Yorkie were all something special but Paul McGrath was quite simply a cut above.I'm getting more dust in my eye again just thinking of how great he was and is.
