"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"

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!

I tried to get as many clips as I could but the majority feature Paul in action for Ireland and Villa. Note, the beauty of a strike Paul scores against Holland in the World Cup was disallowed, hence Pauls disappointment after finishing it, Riijkaard conned the ref!
