Jordan Mcgrath why does your father never sing anything else besides the one? Such a gentle and heart felt song and his voice is beautiful. Wish him well and never give up 😊
Jordan - wow.. your dad is such a great singer and all round lovely guy and gave so many people around the world great memories watching him play .I wish him all the health in the world x
I was lucky enough to meet Paul. I drove him in my taxi once. Not only was he Ireland greatest football player and my football idol . He's one of the nicest human being that I have driven he my 30 odd years driving a taxi. Paul your the Special One.
Just heard this on the John Creedon show - RTÉ radio. It stopped me in my tracks - sung with stunning empathy from a national treasure. Yes of course, there are better singers but very few will sing this haunting song with such authenticity as Paul.
Just amazing. Having just read Back from the Brink, and struggled with similar problems, I find Paul a complete inspiration. Ireland is blessed to have him.
Paul, your an inspiration and hero to me. Holding back tears listing to your sorrow while you provided us with great joy and pride. Please keep up your fight for peace and remember we're all rooting for you. A true Irish gentleman and legend!
I always turn to this man for inspiration. We all have burdens to carry that we didnt ask for in life. Some of us dont understand what its like to live with them unless we are in their shoes...so we cant comment or criticise this legend of life. Keep on inspiring us Paul
this is unreal,,just stumbled onto this...what a beautiful song sung by one of my all-time hero's..loved it..God bless you Paul...a real irish treasure...
brillant walk a mile in paul"s shoes and then give it a thumbs down.this is a beautiful man who had his struggles and as they say music is the best medicine
Magnificent. It brings me close to tears - just as his commanding presence in the great Irish teams of the 1980s and 1990s gave me some of my best sporting memories ever.
Omgosh this hit me hard, pulling at my heartstrings it brought a tear 😥😢 The black pearl how I love just love this beautiful soul this beautiful man, there's just something very very special about you Paul McGrath, God be with you and may the rest of your days be the best of your days 🙏❤❤❤
Paul Our group Drabhlás sing this song in Gibneys Malahide when learning the song as a group we listened to different versions but thought yours was by far the best.
Have been lucky to be at a few players Q and A sessions with Liverpool FC ex-players. When asked who was the best player they played with or against, Paul McGraths name is always mentioned. World class
I know this is an old video. But The documentary about Jack Charlton and his dementia on TV a few weeks ago,was sad but brilliant, the highlight for me was when jack recognised Paul and that smile on his face, this alone says it all about what kind of person Paul Mcgrath is. God bless you Paul.
Is there no end to this man's talent? Not only one of the world's best ever defenders..........now this!! We were meant to play Wexford Arts Centre on 4th April- maybe u might like to come for re-scheduled date(to be confirmed)
A true Contender. Greatest moment for me was him facing Toto Schilacci and Roberto Baggio for Italy who couldn’t get past him and he grinning and beckoning’Bring it On!’ A great Irish Hero ☺️
Beautiful, it made me sway and feel the emotions. Your past is gone and you can only grow, live and learn from it. Peace be with you Mr. McGrath. ❤️❤️❤️
Loved by 10's of thousands at Villa Park, my all time Villa hero, Your book "Back from the brink" is the only book I have read and not put down, in the whole of my adult life (when are they making the film?). The words of this song is so personal to you, We knew you had a set in the way you played, this just shows us how strong you are. Thank you 5GOD
Will never experience the excitement of Italia 90 again and the absolute confidence that we have in Paul McGrath, every time he was on the ball was magic.....
Amazing singer aswell as being a fantastic footballer. I havent had a drink in years but if i ever met paul id love to have a pint with him and a good sing song. Legend of a man
Just came across this .... Whatever demons PMG has/had in his head I hope they're resolved. A legend to me growing up. A very moving version of this song. I hope he has fond peace and is happy. Great bloke. Thanks for posting!
What a lovely version of Jimmy classic by Paul singing almost as well as he played football surely one of the greatest centre back ever to play for Ireland Can still see him at his majestic best in the World Cup Giants Stadium NY June 94 v Italy
