Aston Villa fans on Twitter have been discussing former Villa defender Paul McGrath.
This comes after Villa fan Twitter account @VillaTil1Die shared a post on their page asking their followers if they could bring one former Villa player back in their prime for a full season, who would they pick.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans suggesting they would like to see a prime McGrath come back to the team, hypothetically.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans responding to the post:

Is Paul McGrath Villa's greatest ever player?
Yes
No
According to Aston Villa’s official website, McGrath is “the most revered Villa star of the modern era” as well as being regarded as one of “the greatest players in the club’s history.” This hypothetical question asking Villa fans which former Villan they would take back at the club has paved the way for lots of Villa supporters to suggest that McGrath is the player that the team would need the most.
Paul McGrath.
This team may benefit more from either Dennis Mortimer or Kevin Richardson for some leadership, organisation and battling qualities in midfield but couldn’t turn down the chance of another prime God season.— Chris Mole Golf ? (@ChrisMoleGolf) April 16, 2020

What do we think?
The fact that many Villa fans have chosen McGrath as the player who they think would help the current team out the most just goes to show how highly thought of he is by fans of the club.
