So McGinn is the replacement for Jack?

Worked out in the end didn’t it? :flag:

  • It's not Sánchez-Pizjuán, it's Birmingham. John McGinn starred in an epic moment in the historic Aston Villa celebration for getting his ticket to the next Champions League. The captain of the villains, with beer in hand, started singing... the anthem of the Centennial of Seville! The reason goes beyond the relationship that now unites the English team with the Hispanics after the arrival of Monchi, Unai Emery or Diego Carlos to Villa Park. McGinn's grandfather was president of the Scottish Federation when Juande Ramos' Sevilla won their second Europa League in Glasgow. That night in May 2007, the protagonist of this story fell madly in love with the anthem during the final against Espanyol. Such was his impression that he continued to watch videos and ended up learning, in his own way, the lyrics of El Arrebato.

  • His grandfather was president of the Scottish Federation when Sevilla won UEFA in Glasgow

  • He fell in love with the anthem during the final against Espanyol

  • Monchi, present at the April Fair: "Seville is always missed"
     

  • Night of celebration at the Aston Villa. The team trained by Unai Emery and directed, at least in terms of signings, by Monchi, got this past Wednesday its place of access to the Champions League more than 40 years later and between hugs and screams, John McGinn, captain of the English team, left a very striking image: clinging to his beer... and singing the anthem of Seville.

 

The story of John McGinn, Scottish, and Sevilla - beyond Unai Emery, Monchi and some member of the coaching staff - has a long journey. The grandfather of the Aston Villa captain was the president of the Scottish Football Federation when Sevilla won their second UEFA in Glasgow, against Espanyol.

 

The night Andrés Palop signed a historic milestone, McGinn and his grandfather lived the appointment at the stadium, and the now captain of Aston Villa was captivated by the anthem of the Seville centenary

 

 

His eyes lit up, and, with a few years less, the now soccer player fell in love with the chants and the atmosphere imposed that night by the Sevilla fans. Such was his impression that he continued watching videos and ended up learning, in his own way - as you can see in the video above of the news - the anthem of El Arrebato.

Monchi, Unai Emery... Diego Carlos and Lenglet

John McGinn, however, was not the only one who found it strange to celebrate without the Sevillist anthem. At the feast of the English ensemble there were several that were well known, and much better than the Scotsman, the red-and-white chant.

Next to him, during the night, there were the aforementioned Monchi and Unai Emery, as it could not be otherwise, but there were also two former Sevilla players such as Diego Carlos and Clement Lenglet, two soccer players who, possibly, reached their best level in Nervión and who heard many, many, many times the anthem of the centenary.

A special date for Unai Emery

If this whole story wasn't curious enough, we could add one more fact: for Unai Emery, May 14 will always be special. In addition to achieving the long-awaited qualification for the Champions League last Tuesday, the coach celebrated the tenth anniversary of his first Europa League with Sevilla. Two notable milestones on the same date.

McGinn singing Spanish anthems is not something I knew I needed but I want more

I’m sure we all questioned it at the time , but maybe the one thing Gerrard did get right for this club was make SJM captain 

It's the huge deal he made out of it that was the big error.

Exactly this. He acted like a complete prick for no other reason than to undermine a professional player who has/had done a huge amount for the club.
