Not a mention of Man Utd - very unusual for RTÉ - D'Arcy must be a Villa fan.

Looked a lot more confident than usual.

Wonderful moving video. Thanks for the link. Great to see him speak so highly of Graham Taylor and Jim Walker - I didn't expect myself to ever say it but...thank god for Kevin Moran too.

Jim Walker was effectively his parent when he was here.

Manchester United don't come out of that very well at all but, by contrast, Sir Graham is shown be the bloke we all thought he was.

This came up on my Youtube thought it may be of interest...

Paul McGrath vs Rest of World 1987 (All Touches & Actions)



Not the greatest quality video but it put a smile on my face (even though he wasn't with us at that point)

+ Ian Rush talking (with dodgy accents) about who his hardest opposition player was

Did Rush ever score against us when McGrath was in the side?

If he did it would have been someone else's fault.
