McGinn: The Story So Far

Aston Villa is excited to present a new must-watch two-part documentary celebrating the journey and rise of Super John McGinn.

From chasing a ball around the parks of Glasgow to taking on the best teams in Europe on the hallowed turf at Villa Park - McGinn: The Story So Far shines a light on the Scotsman's career to date.

The Villa captain's journey to this point, where he has amassed over 300 appearances in claret and blue, has been an enthralling one, and his rise through the footballing world has been charted in our documentary, which is narrated by Andy Townsend.

In part one, From Paisley to Promotion, which is available for the Villa faithful to watch below, you'll hear from the man himself as he recalls the experiences that helped shape him north of the border at St Mirren and Hibernian before he turned down the advances of boyhood club Celtic in order to sign for Villa in 2018. 

Team-mates and friends Andy Robertson and Jack Grealish speak of the jovial character that has made McGinn a hugely popular figure in B6 and beyond, while managers Dean Smith, Steve Bruce, Steve Clarke and Gordon Strachan enthuse about the talent and determination which has seen him shine for club and country. 

The first instalment also reflects on McGinn's magical debut season as a Villan, which ended with him scoring in the Championship play-off final at Wembley and scooping the Players' Player and Supporters' Player of the Season awards. 

Ahead of part two's release next week, settle in and enjoy the first part of McGinn: The Story So Far...
