Paul McGrath - My life and football

He is without question one of the greatest players to ever represent the Rep of Ireland, a man who is loved and adored by a nation.  In a career greatly hampered by physical and off the field problems Paul McGrath featured for fourteen seasons at Aston Villa Football Club and Manchester United (seven apiece).  McGarth also featured for St Patrick's Athletic, Derby County and Sheffield United during his career.  The following video is his story, Paul McGrath - My Life and Football.

I felt it was a real shame that there was no tribute video to the legendary Irish defender Paul McGrath so I took the liberty of creating one. I hope I've done the great man justice.

"A fitting tribute to McGrath is difficult to find, given the length of his career, and the context in which he played many games, fighting injury and other personal problems that he has been very candid about in his award-winning autobiography Back from the Brink, but this video does him some justice across his clubs and international career" JOE.ie - 02/04/2013 This video is about a quite extraordinary person, the finest player to ever represent the Republic of Ireland, a Aston Villa legend, one of the best defenders ever to play the game, The Legend That Is Paul McGrath!
