In a time without a sport and with a lot of worry, without socialising and with a lot of isolation, the second episode of "The Boys In Green" on RTE last night was a breath of fresh air in these difficult times. Last night's episode covered Ireland's win against Italy in New Jersey at the 1994 World Cup, so naturally, Paul McGrath is trending today on Twitter.
On a St. Patrick's Day so short of joy and celebration, it's only fitting that there's a fresh round of legend bowing for one of Ireland's greatest ever sportspeople on this of all days.
All joking aside, I think there should be a statue of Paul McGrath and all the positives he represents https://t.co/4pZeroXSFc

How paul McGrath hasn't gotten a statue on O'Connell street yet I dont understand, that performance against Italy has to be hands down the best individual performance ever by any player in an irish shirt #TheBoysInGreen

Paul McGrath, 18/6/94, Giants Stadium, that individual performance will never be bettered. Sensational. 👏👏🇮🇪⚽️#theboysingreen @Paulmcgrath5

Best individual performance I’ve ever seen from any player was Paul McGrath v Italy in the Giants Stadium. #TheBoysInGreen

Important to note that Paul McGrath player USA 94 with one arm not working. He played so well that Babb was a top rated defender for a while. #BoysInGreen

They should have put a giant Paul McGrath statue on O’Connell Street where the Spire is. What a man #TheBoysInGreen

Come to think of it? Why don't we have a statue of Paul McGrath?
