Paul McGrath has absolutely torn into Aston Villa's Joleon Lescott

Paul McGrath is undeniably one of the finest centre-halves to have ever pulled on either an Ireland jersey or an Aston Villa jersey.

Considering Aston Villa's abject performance across this season, it's safe to say that Joleon Lescott will never be held in the same regard by Villa fans.

McGrath took to Twitter today to tear into Lescott, a move most likely prompted by Lescott's downright idiotic comments after Villa were relegated yesterday.

McGrath isn't just disappointed with Lescott as a player, though, labelling him a 'slime bag' and a 'disgrace' for his conduct at Villa Park this season.

Lesscott came to villa for money and nothing more, he got what he wanted and laughed it off, you are slime bag son . Ur a disgrace !

And it doesn't look like he'll be going back on his word, either.
