Personal Life
McGrath is now married to Tori, whom he first met at Cambridge and was devastated when she married someone else. After both their marriages failed, she contacted him and they restarted their relationship.
McGrath supports Arsenal. He and Peter Cook (a Tottenham supporter) used to have a friendly rivalry over their respective clubs. On the night that Cook died in January 1995, Tottenham had beaten Arsenal. McGrath found out about his friend's death by the fact that he hadn't received the traditional abusive phonecall the next morning.
McGrath is a friend of Ralph McTell and fan of McTell's music. He recently contributed extensive album notes to Affairs of the Heart, a McTell compilation album.
