In the introduction to his Back from the Brink, his 2006 autobiography, Paul McGrath is described by his ghostwriter, Vincent Hogan, as "undeniably Ireland's best loved sportsman". In Episode 7 of the Ademola Bookmen Podcast, Al and Johnny wrestle with what must surely be one of the heaviest books in the football canon. The book, which won both the William Hill and Boylesports sports books of the year in Ireland in 2006, covers McGrath's heartbreaking childhood as an orphan in a series of Dublin orphanages, his illustrious club career with Manchester United and Aston Villa, his legendary displays in an iconic Ireland team, and his decades' long battle with alcoholism.
