McGrath

Ex-Manchester United star Paul McGrath has nothing but praise for the man who kicked him out of Old Trafford.
McGrath and Sir Alex Ferguson had a fractious relationship during three years together at the club, but have since become friends.
On his arrival at United in 1986, Ferguson was determined to rid the club of its drinking culture.
McGrath was one of the biggest drinkers and, after numerous run-ins, Ferguson sold the defender to Aston Villa.
"Since I left football he's been nothing but generous to me. He showed a big heart when he didn't need to.
"For example, he invited me and my wife to his testimonial dinner in London a few years ago and sat us on the table next to him."
