Diego Maradona, Michel Platini, Paulo Futre on the pitch and Bryan Robson having a barnstorming Roy of the Rovers performance with 2 cracking goals and a proper midfield general display? Good for them, can I have my MOTM award please?One of his best ever performances was in 1987 for the Football League v Rest of the World.
Against that opposition he cruised through the game and everyone was 'wowed'.
After Ferdinand and Stam he would certainly be in the mix for best ever CH I've seen at United...

He's just ridiculous
Cheers.I feckin love Paul. A gentleman off the pitch. Quiet, shy, no bullshit.
On the pitch he was an absolute monster. In my opinion he was the best CH that I ever saw playing for United. A real class act.
Thanks for a really great thread.
After! Paul was far superior to both... A bit like Robbo; you needed to have seen Paul in his pomp, to understand how good he was. Without doubt, the best defender I've seen in my time watching the lads live, (37 years) and up there with Franco Baresi and Passarella as one of the best I've ever seen.After Ferdinand and Stam
McGrath was an excellent defender for United no doubt. Shame how injuries and also his alcoholism meant he didn't really get along well with Fergie, although they made up eventually.I find it a bit strange how people go on about his performances for Rep of Ireland and Villa but ignore his United displays before his various knee injuries restricted what he could do.
Was something else seeing those 2 geniuses on the same pitch and on the same team at that too. Nevertheless, it was kind of hilarious watching the 'Three Musketeers' steal the show.by the way how good was it seeing Maradona and Platini link up - wow!
Paul McGrath said:We won the game 3-0 and my performance against Maradona was widely acclaimed.
In the dressing room afterwards, I felt ten feet tall. The boys were full of it. 'Diego fecking who?'
Our other two stars of the day had been Bryan Robson and Norman Whiteside, sharing the three goals between them. It was quite a compliment to English football, but an even bigger one to United.
Fergie must have had very mixed feelings that day as he watched us swap jerseys with Maradona, Platini and Co. In a star-studded team that included the likes of Peter Shilton, Liam Brady, Peter Beardsley, Ossie Ardiles and Chirs Waddle, the three United boys stole the plaudits.
Yep, the three drinkers.
Aye, ridiculously complete and pretty much flawless when it came to just about any aspect of defending.Interesting how in those earlier parts of his career he seems quite slight yet he puts himself about with reckless abandon.. almost like a hybrid Vidic and Rio player.
Fights like a bull yet blessed with great intuition and anticipation.
All about opinions...I saw all of his games and he was class no doubt.After! Paul was far superior to both...

But for his personal issues and his knees, Paul would have been regarded as one of the finest defenders ever; an unbelievable gifted player and one I'm grateful to have seen play.
It is and it would be a boring World if we all agreedAll about opinions.
Great players for us, but I'd take Paul every timeI just think Rio and Stam had a little bit more.
