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.

It’s hard to compare players in different positions, but it’s not often that a defender is the sort of player who is described as being worth the admission fee alone.


He was a cut above a great defender in an era of some seriously f***ing great defenders.

I think it is gone now, but the youtube of just his involvements in that world cup match against Italy is absolutely incredible.

You had me worried for a a while PW so I had to go back and check that the links still work


I will now spend the next 90 minutes reminiscing over the best defensive display I’ve ever seen (accompanied with a nice bottle of Chilean Shiraz)


First half

Second half

Hope the links work for you

It's not often you get commentators pretty much laughing with incredulity at the performance of a defender. Not in a good way, anyway.

I think there's only two players of ours, God and Sid, that I've never heard a fan of any other team say anything but 'great player'.

as Joe Biden is a religious man,I would imagine he demanded to meet God while on tour

I love Michael D Higgins, as well. He looks like one of Harry Potter's teachers or something. Wonderful little magic man.

I noticed Paul was trending on Twitter with Gary Lineker. This is why.

Nice one, even if it did make me 'Like' a Gary Lineker tweet.
