I love the way he cushion heads to cash and points for him to send the ball back to Martinez; Cash completely ignores him and belts the pass of the season to Digne who makes the controlled take-down of the season, then to Buendia who scores one of the goals of the season. Magic.
Then, a couple of hours later McGinn is sitting in a pub in a very quiet part of Central London, in a corner, with his dad, about to visit his twin sister who lives in the area. How do I know this? Because I live a minute from said pub and someone comes into our block and says, 'I've just seen John McGinn in the pub.' So off I popped, said Hallo and had a nice little chat with the great man. The most unassuming, normal, down-to-earth guy you could hope to meet, and his dad too.

Brilliant.

I really hope we win a trophy while he is still with us, ideally as captain.

Thanks Martyn. Not an area I usually go out but I may stumble across it one day.

^^ Great story. I’m fully on board with the legendary status, even though I went off him for a bit pre-Emery.

Me too.

Although tbh under Gerrard, I'd gone off the concept of living.

Aston Villa is delighted to announce that Club Captain, John McGinn, has signed a new contract with the club.

The midfielder has agreed a deal that will keep him at Villa until 2028.

McGinn has been a stalwart in the Villa line-up since joining from Hibernian in 2019 and has been an integral part of the club's journey from the Championship to the Champions League.

With over 80 caps for Scotland to his name, he also sits fifth on his country's list of all-time goalscorers.
