Paul McGrath shares rare family pic to mark granddaughter's birthday as fans all make the same observation
An Irish celeb was among those bowled over by the fabulous photo THREE GENERATIONS Paul McGrath shares rare family pic to mark granddaughter's birthday as fans all make the same observation PAUL McGrath shared a sweet photo from his granddaughter's birthday - with fans noticing the striking similarity between him and his son Chris. The Irish footy legend has aged incredibly well given he's only a few months short of turning 66 and hitting the pensionable mark. Advertisement 2 McGrath in his pomp while starring at the 1994 World Cup in the US 2 The 65-year-old still looked fit as a fiddle while celebrating in Rosslare's Kelly's Resort Hotel Credit: @paulnumber5 The former Aston Villa and Manchester United defensive rock captioned it: "Celebrating my granddaughter Talia's 15th birthday." A common theme among the replies from his Instagram followers was how his appearance belies his advanced age. In slightly theatrical fashion, Keith asked: "Is that you on the left or right Paul?!" Another social media user extended that sentiment to include Talia. They gushed: "The resemblance is remarkable among the three of you, happy birthday young lady!" Advertisement Finally Maia Dunphy noted: "What a gorgeous photo!! Your son is the image of you!!" The two clubs the centre-back hero is most associated with are actually currently mired in one of the summer's most layered transfer sagas. Villa's star striker Ollie Watkins is ready to step into the void if Man Utd are unable to lure Benjamin Sesko to the club. Newcastle have launched a £78m bid to try to beat United to the Slovenia international, with RB Leipzig now keen to do business with the Toon. Advertisement And there is growing scepticism in Germany that PSR-stricken Man Utd will come in with an offer to compete with Eddie Howe's side, who have the advantage of being able to attract a nine-figure fee for Alexander Isak. SunSport understands that following interest from Arsenal in January, Watkins feels the time is right to leave Villa Park. Fans slam 'utter woke nonsense' as Tottenham star announces bizarre kit number change And his wishes may overlap with Aston Villa's, who also face a battle to keep their summer spending within PSR limits. The Villans were fined by Uefa earlier this summer for breaching the European body's financial rules. Advertisement Unai Emery had been keen to sell the likes of Jacob Ramsey and Leon Bailey to meet the Premier League's requirements, but have yet to receive the interest they had hoped for. As a result, a bid of between £40m and £50m could be enough to prize Watkins from Villa. BONUS OF THE BUY This would also have the bonus of giving United funds to spare to solve their other major problem position - holding midfield. But a move for Watkins is not inevitable if Man Utd are unable to attract Sesko. Advertisement SunSport understands that Ruben Amorim is looking at two strikers playing in his home country of Portugal. Samu Aghehowa scored 27 goals for Porto last season after agreeing a deal with Chelsea which fell through over an ankle injury and image rights. And Benfica's Vangelis Pavlidis, who scored 30 goals last term, made a name for himself in England by scoring twice at Wembley as Greece nabbed a shock 2-1 win against the Three Lions. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano claims that Juventus have offered Dusan Vlahovic to United if the Red Devils are unable to sign Sesko.

Dublin Love Island star says she 'got what I wanted' after pic with Irish rugby ace
Megan Forte Clarke has been reflecting on her time in the villa now that the latest series has come to an end. Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke has shared a photo of herself and fellow Irish contestant Conor Phillips in the wake of the latest series of the ITV programme coming to an end. On Sunday evening, Toni Laites and Cach Mercer were crowned the winners after the villa was whittled down to just four couples. Dublin woman Megan had been voted off the show several weeks ago despite going down as a fan favourite among viewers. Megan Forte Clarke and Conor Phillips News in 90 Seconds - Tuesday, August 5th At the time, the 24-year-old described her experience as a "whirlwind' and signalled her intention to date compatriot Conor once the show was over and done with. With the latest series now fully completed, Megan claims she 'got what I wanted'. Sharing a photo alongside the former Munster star, she wrote: 'Diva up x What an experience!!! "I've laughed, cried, belched and wouldn't have had it any other way I've learned so much about myself throughout this journey and I am so so grateful for the love and support it's been a wild one!! "Got what I wanted in the end off to sing hsm in the pub now xxxx' Megan and Conor have been hit with claims that they knew each other before appearing on the ITV dating show. A video emerged on TikTok showing the pair at the same nightclub, long before they appeared on the TV show. In one picture, Megan can be seen posing with a friend, while another shows Conor supposedly at the same club, on the same night. Megan Forte Clarke Speaking after she first left the villa, the Dubliner said she was willing to wait for Conor's exit from the villa to see where the future would take them. 'Me and Conor were at a really good stage,' she said last month. 'He was really upset so it broke my heart a little bit. 'Someone could walk in for him tomorrow and it could be different. I definitely want to have something with Conor on the outside.'
