I like the way he hasn't gone around shouting the odds on the pitch like he could have. Has let his football do the talking, Chester and Johnstone have improved immeasurably next to him. Much better with the ball at his feet than most of our midfielders. In my time watching English club football, there hasn't been a centre half to come close to his quality. I was cynical of his motives but he has been a consumate professional.You must have started watching English club football after 1996 then! Maybe just a few years before then! Huge McGrath fan but he didn't have a fraction of Terry's ability on the ball imo. Who else was at that level even in the 80s or early 90s ?

I hope our commercial department have took notice of that Monopoly board or else they're missing a trick in the run up to christmas. I'd pay a premium for a special version of snakes and ladder endorsed by McCormack called Walls and ladders.. Richards could put his name to Connect4(passes) and i reckon they'd still be a market for a Kozak version of Operation.I'll get me coat......

Just seen this, admittedly I can't stand Terry as a footballer or a man but McGrath who played in midfield for his country and is without a doubt the best player I've ever seen in a Villa shirt is head and shoulders above Terry in every aspect of the game.
McGrath was, quite literally, in a different league to Terry.
