Paul McGrath - don't worry

[KevinGage]

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

Hope the links work for you

60 per cent fit for that one (ignoring the longstanding knee condition) according to the man himself. 

Ridiculous player.

Always thought Lineker had good judgment

Has Lineker eulogised much over God in those awful Top Ten lists filler-programmes with Richards and Shearer? I only had the stomach to watch one, 10 minutes was more than enough.

No, not at all. 10 mins is normally the length of the show once you edit out Richards guffawing.

[The Man With A Stick]

If they've going to discuss the ten best defenders, you can guarantee it'll be Terry, Van Dijk, Ferdinand, Campbell plus a few other no-marks who have played for the top six over the last twenty years, plus some Leeds thug, Bobby Moore and Beckenbauer.  Old Fistface will no doubt get a mention as well.  Did you know he never won an England cap?  It never gets mentioned, you see.  Astonishing.

Most of them are unfit to clean His boots.

One of those dodgy knees has been replaced.

10 seconds of Richards is 10 too many

Not that it was easy that day. In the heart of the United defence was Paul McGrath, who made even a hard man swallow a little harder.

“I regularly get asked the question: who was the toughest centre-half you played against?” he says. “Without a shred of doubt it was Paul McGrath. He was not just a fantastic footballer, he was really tough. He’d leave a bit on you.

Mick Hartford in today's Telegraph.

He had one of his knees replaced last month and it's nice to see that someone organised a claret and blue crutch for him.

Happy birthday God, 64 today.

[IFWaters]

Happy Birthday our Paul.

[Percy McCarthy]

I know we’ve all seen it before, but still…

Yeah, where's the Villa equivalent footage of his God-liness ?

Here's a deft piece of skill and finish against the Dutch also at World Cup '94 that you've never seen. Rijkaard feigning injury destroyed it.

And if its Happy Birthday God, then it's happy birthday to Risso and Toronto too (or tomoro).

Cheers mate. Mine was the 3rd. Risso’s yesterday. I share my birthday with the Beast Christian Benteke. God shares his birthday with Risso. Not the other way around as I am sure he will make clear.

[eamonn]

Ah, very good. You're in fine company. The Beast and The God on same week!
Hope you had a good'un!
