Quote from: CT on April 16, 2020, 05:23:33 PMWasn't it tough guy Ryan Giggs that did him at OT? I cant remember for sure, even though I was there!It was. My claim to fame was that I was on Match Of The Day that evening - for some reason the cameras panned right in in on me while I was clapping as Fashanu was carried off after Giggs had "done him". I had no idea until i got home and found loads of messages on my answerphone (one of those old machines with a tape recorder fitted to capture messages). Good job I'd recorded MOTD ( on one of those old video machines).

I was trying to see if there was a discussion on here about Villa's Greatest player of All Time?

Sid and he who shall be called Brian have a call on this. Shaw would have done but for injury and Dwight Yorke was simply brilliant.Older fans would surely stick Hitchens, Blanchflower and McParland in similar circles. Go back further and you can pick from a dozen or more.
McGrath made it look so simple. He was always so calm under pressure and could, without fuss, execute a little flick/touch to control a ball when he was under pressure. What do we think was McGrath's best villa game? Didn't he play the '94 League cup final with a shoulder injury?
Here you go mate, great day out that was.https://m.facebook.com/avfcofficial/videos/1800434286667299/
