Just a little bit too much Man Utd for my liking and not enough footage of Macca v Italy but, on the whole, that was great viewing for a Villa fan.  A phrase that came up often was that Paul was a "Rolls Royce of a player" and that was exactly what I thought of him when I saw him play his first match for Villa. A truly world class footballer and Villa man.

An absorbing half an hour. My grumble is not showing his PFA award. A lovely man and the best I have seen in 60 years of following Villa. And isn't Graham Taylor a wonderful man? (Yes I do know you shouldn't start a sentence with and).

Thanks for that , it's always a pleasure watching footage and hearing the Great man speak about his time at Villa.

Just from those short clips you can see just how well he read the game and timed his tackles.

Brilliant, watched it this morning before work, found it quite emotional! Think I was at each of the Villa matches they showed, we were very lucky to see him. Best player I've ever seen in a Villa shirt.

That was a great watch, but sad at the same time.

Probably best ever Villa player I've seen during my lifetime.
