A Hibee

I never once saw him go missing in a game for us and many, many times he was almost single-handedly responsible for re-energising us in games we really needed to win. The worst criticism I could make of him is that I didn't like him taking our corners. He can go all day, can score a bit, soaks up space and possession and finds players for fun with his passes. And he's an absolute terrier. Gutted he's no longer in the green and white but I hope he sets it all on fire for you guys. We'll be watching and wishing him and you well...

As it says on the tin. Hibees have a very special affection for Super John McGinn, so much that many of us will now be looking out for Villa results on Saturdays too. I'll be completely astonished if he doesn't quickly become a Villa fan favourite. Midfielders like him aren't easy to find anywhere with his energy, creativity, commitment and attitude. And you won't find a nicer guy off the park either. Good luck to him and Villa for this season. Anyway, hello to you all from this visitor from hibs.net
