Legendary Villa centre half Paul McGrath made his final Villa appearance aged 36 before moving on to Derby County in October 1996. McGrath played for Villa between 1989-90 and 1996-97 making 324 appearances and scoring 9 goals. Anyone who had the honour of watching him in a Villa (or Republic of Ireland) shirt will have a tale to tell of McGrath moments, believe them all, he really was that good.

In the end Peter Wibranโ€™s late goal for Helsingborgs in the 1-1 draw at Villa Park a fortnight ago effectively decided the issue. The match was almost a replica of the first encounter, with Villa dominating for lengthy periods but failing to break down their gallant opponents. Brian Little became increasingly desperate and on the hour decided to change his tactics, pushing central defender Ugo Ehiogu into attack and replacing him at the back with Paul McGrath as Fernando Nelson was substituted.
