Excellent video of a true Villa and Irish legend. His autobiography is hands down the best sports book I've ever read by a country mile.
Going to go buy it today!
Yes I read it 10 yrs back,very harrowing..But a proper insight as opposed to the typical crap Bio..This is certainly not that! 'Back from the Brink'
@@AddictedToFootie And I forgot to give u deserved plaudits for ur thorough and concise Bio on the ' Great Man'..And I bet privately SAF was kicking himself for his decision with Paul Mc...Because I think yrs later,he stayed loyal to many player's who had prolonged Injuries,but maybe this was just how it was meant to be!..
And I think what makes Paul Mc so popular and interesting,is his total lack of cockiness,he just kept quiet( while dealing with his Demons) to stride out onto the football field to dominate the way U often saw Franco Barasi,Bobby Moore and Franz Beckenbauer did,he was that good!..
Grat book and surprisingly honest about all football, addiction, lies, and pride.
@@jerryoshea3116 despite the fact McGrath is an ATG centreback, I personally doubt that SAF regrets pushing him out.. sometimes, it's more important to have a reliable, consistent player on the staff than a genius player surrounded by chaos and disorder..
Top bloke and top player. I met him in his local pub in Ireland. I was like a deer in the headlights when he walked in, I turned to him and said your Paul McGrath he said yes the last time I checked. Proper villa legend they still sing about McGrath at even Villa home game.
paul is a legend but we need to keep drink out of his life
This is first class,the sort of thing I would expect from a journalist with 30 years experience of presenting.Yes he is the greatest at ever saw at VP,never rushed,so classy.Thanks from Brasil🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷COYVB.
Thanks so much mate
Wonderful bloke.
So good to see him doing so well in his life these days.
Legend.
Met him at the Irish Centre in Birmingham a few years back, just a truly beautiful human being who genuinely cares about his fans. Always be God to me
100%
nicely researched account.. I'm neither Irish nor a United or Villa fan but grew up in the 80s when this man was considered Top 3 in the world.. being awarded Player of the Year, as a defender, by his fellow Premierleague professionals speaks volumes - truly the player's player.
Love this. It's a shame i was too young to see the majority of his career but i got to see the last couple of seasons at the villa. In fact first game i went to see live he scored an own goal early doors but was the best player on the pitch. What a player and love that every Irish football fan always talks so highly of him
I just remember my Dad talking about him so fondly. Made me really dig into his career. A Legend.
We had the best CB in the world playing for us. Privilege of watching him for 7 seasons at villa. Thank you my lord 🙏
im irish he lives about 5 miles away from my and i was too cowardly to get M'Lord #5 on bout the 08 away Villa jersey....so glad my mate got it done for me.
Love him
I had the pleasure of meeting Paul Mcgrath at Villa Park as a kid and he was so humble and down to earth. He is the greatest player to ever grace Villa Park and he will always be God. 🏴🇮🇪
Even if Paul isn't God, he was certainly sent by God. He is Villa's forever legend.
Fintan, where did you go man?? I've seen you on the club a few times and used to watch all your content here. The Poker must be working out for you. But if you have time these videos are iccredible content.
Gentleman, a giant, what a footballer! God bless him and footballers today could learn a thing or two! Never will see anyone better in a Villa shirt!
aston villa deserves better. i hope the qualify for an european competition
It's coming mate!
Fantastic Video.
I missed him by a year. So never got to adore him. This gave me insight though.
So thank you.
Utv
Great video!
Love this.
He's my favourite player of all time I love the man he's a God for sure I'm so pleased I got to see him play many time's and I got to meet him he's such a gentleman. UTV
The guy is a legend!
God, UTV ooh ah Paul McGrath say ooh Ah Paul McGrath, always a great watch your videos thank you for the hard work
The best footballer I have ever seen.
Brillant video always sung his chant without knowing the story of the man, I’ll sing it even louder now, legend. Would love to see similar videos about Villa legends past and present. Good job :)
Anyone in particular you’d like me to do??
What a player!!
You still see people with the number 5 on the back of the shirt with GOD above it, legend UTV
World class. Greatest Republic Of Ireland player. Absolutely love Paul McGrath. ❤️⚽👌
Nice work, lovely video for an amazing footballer!
Cheers Daniel
What a player😊
What a player.
What a player
The best Villa player ever. He’s GOD
I always felt I never needed to worry much about Villa's defence when Paul was playing - NONE SHALL PASS. And unlike the Black Knight, hardly any player did !
I love your shorts
Thanks mate!
Trying to make some long-form videos that aren't too different!
Really can't understand why he's not talked about at all, and it still annoys me that to this date most places including Wikipedia state that shearer was the first winner of the Premier league player of the year award.
Why we dont we have a statue of Mcgrath at villa park i will never know
God
Up the Villa!
O a o a say o a Paul McGrath
It's a wonderful video. Although Speaking from experience this laughter mentioning that won a man of the match whilst under the influence I think it's a social instinct people are on a TV show and it's not As if they're condoning it they're just knowledging the craziness of it. I'm sure paul mcgrath would wish he never had to be under the influence but that was his life then. I hope he is it with the right people that he doesn't need to do these things now
He’s something far greater than God
Yer man's brutal talkin
You forgot to mention jozef venglos in managers that influenced and supported him
Paul McGrath : screams legend
Roy Houghton?
Ray Houghton
On the piss my lord, on the piss, oh lord on the piss 👊
Who is Roy Houghton?
Messed it up didn't I!
Ray* Houghton
Roy Houghton ?
ROY ?
C'mon now.
Roy Houghton?? Bit of research m8
You mistitled this. Should be, "The Story of God..."
UTV
One of the greatest defenders of all time, far better than anything around these days
On your link for this video via Twitter, you said "Can you imagine how good he'd be in an Emery team." Goodness me, what a ridiculuus thing to say. Paul McGrath was a world-class footballer regardless of who the manager was. A stupid comment from someone who never saw the great man play.
It's very odd to take that as a insult.
It's like me saying how amazing it'd be to have prime Messi in this Villa team.
Weird.
Great keeper shirt!!!
Bosnich my favourite ever player.
@@AddictedToFootie Bossie was not only a great shot stopper but a penalty king too, great keeper for us he was, those were the days. VTID
Whos Roy Houghton?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣😬
Is that the Scot who played for the republic of England ha ha
God
