For The Love of Paul McGrath podcast have got him on soon; there’s a live event in Limerick (I think) which will then be broadcast I assume.

I was offered an opportunity to go to that Limerick gig the other night but Limerick's a hundred miles from here and driving that distance at night with my eyesight currently what it is I wouldn't wish to chance it.

pretty sure Dan Bardell was at the last one of these live events from the podcaster, I'm surprised this one isn't billed as "An Evening with Dan Bardell (and Paul McGrath)"

Dan's a good chap but I'd only want Bad English to interview him.

Thought he looks and spoke very well. Full of praise for the Villa. Said he only 'became a team player' when he joined the Villa. Seems more grateful to Graham Taylor than Sir Alex.

Dan Bardell is humble, he wouldn’t like that billing. Then again, so is Paul McGrath.

"An evening on your own (with Dan Bardell and Paul McGrath)"?

Paul McGrath signed for the Villa on this day in 1989. 35 years! What a 7 years we had from him.

I remember as a 15 year lad of Irish descent, being really excited by the signing and not being clear how we got him. Obviously the severity of Paul’s issues came out much later.
Think its pretty apt he had a slot in the video released yesterday given this anniversary. Still the greatest in my lifetime.

I was just turned 17 and didn't find out about it until a week later as was on holiday abroad. I was gobsmacked we'd got him. Easily the best player outside the 2 finalists in prior year's Euros. And better than most of the finalists too.

We were in for Lineker who went to Spurs too although Venables wanted McGrath too IIRC.

We finished 2nd and them 3rd. We didn't score enough and they conceded a few too many silly uns.
Had either of us bagged both I think it would have been a title that year.
