WHY Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 What a man, loved the bloke. What an absolute legend Sir Graham Taylor was as well, proper football man and an unbelievable person as well. Had some good people at our great club over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I based my entire defensive game of Paul and Ugo, I watched them how they were tough to bypass, how smart they were not to give much away and how much Bully boys those pair could be in a very smart way at the right time. I were shocking at Football till in school till Villa called on me and I watched Paul and Ugo. I studied them and i admit i were always bullied in school, but our defenders made me really Express myself and brought football out in me where it started for my school team in Wolves. I played five a sides and full eleven's in charity league amongst all the hostels that i help set up when i came to Yorkshire. I came second place runners up with my team in the five aside power-league Tourny and winners of the 11v11 League and was even given the players manager trophy that everyone had done for me as a surprise. I would not have done any of that of it wernt for me being inspired by Paul, Ugo and many other Villa players. For me the best defenders in the game they were and I became a tough cookie to crack on the pitch. I was never skillful, I just would like to think I read the game well and made smart passes and plays. Paul I always liked listening to him and I always loved how he'd have a pint or more before games. I were amazed at how he'd got these dodgy knees but never let that stop him from bossing the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmeedson Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Paul McGrath never moved attackers came to him. Genius of a footballer who knew where to be. Jesus walked on water, God walked to the right position. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Also posted in former players thread Thanks @Zatman Good article from the man himself in the Irish Independent Aston Villa – the football club, the fans, the city of Birmingham and, the saintly Graham Taylor – saved my life. If that sounds a little dramatic, it speaks of how my move from Villa steered me away from a darkness that threatened to consume me as things turned sour at Manchester United. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a comedian who has had some mental health issues recently but he retweeted a video of somebody calling McGregor British and saying they can keep him. McGregor then started abusing the comedian and his mental health then God stepped in 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
