McGrath’s timing in the tackle was first-class and his strong leadership at the heart of the backline nearly took Aston Villa to the promise land of landing the Premier League title. He was in scintillating form during the very-first FA Premier League campaign which is when he scooped up this wonderful individual accolade. McGrath is one of just six defenders to have won the coveted PFA Players’ Player of the Year prize. However, the Republic of Ireland international was one of the game’s best defenders in his prime.
