And I remember Josh said that 185 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,440 and I pretended to be a lot more like flustered than it was 186 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,480 because I was like, I know he's like being funny about it, but 187 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,600 like nothing got for about a year. 188 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,360 Everyone said to me about that clip. 189 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,440 EUR 2016 feels like so long ago. I told I told I never told just 190 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,880 when I was on my way over to watch a match. 191 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,240 Did you didn't go you? Didn't go, no, no, I, I went the 192 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,960 I actually. So what happened to me? 193 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,880 I was actually playing I was training at the end of the 194 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,840 season and I basically done me at my ankle ligament. 195 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680 So I was in a boot and that day that had done me ankle ligments. 196 00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,680 Michael O'Neill rang me and he was like, I want you to come 197 00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,480 away with a squad to the Euros to France. 198 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,920 And I was like, I mean, I have a scan here on Tuesday, like I 199 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,800 don't even know. And then basically it was like 6 200 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,640 to or it was like 8 to 12 weeks I was out for and like so I 201 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,120 ended up going to the first game where Connor started in right. 202 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520 I went to that one and then I missed the next two moment. 203 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,800 I went to all them like but. Would you have considered lying 204 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,680 about that? No joke like. 205 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,080 For that extent of injury, you couldn't because like they would 206 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,120 have needed to like for like I wouldn't have played like I've 207 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,160 just been there training, but like they wouldn't need needed 208 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,400 to like go to be training. Nothing like preparing because 209 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,200 they had you knew the team basically because obviously 210 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,880 they've done so well on the qualifying, but like if you're 211 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,640 not basically fit the train, it would have been a complete 212 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,320 waste. And because I had a serious 213 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,120 injury, I couldn't have done it if it was like a little a little 214 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,440 growing one or. Yeah, because because when I 215 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,560 hear that about, you know, people in international squads 216 00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,200 like, you know, there's like a strain or whatever, part of me 217 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,400 is like, is that common? Like do you think people do 218 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,840 spoof a wee bit about like if it was for the tournament or are 219 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,120 the scans and all that sophisticated and stuff that you 220 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,360 would do, you'd be found out do? You know what it's like the 221 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,040 clubs, obviously, because the club pays you, they're they pay 222 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,320 your wages like they're the ones that would do the scam for you. 223 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,800 And then they would dictate really whether the Northern 224 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,440 Ireland team, they would have the final say if you go away or 225 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,800 not, but they'd obviously see the scan and know Joe, if it's 226 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,720 basically like serious it is or not. 227 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120 And but see, to be honest, like a lot of see with Northern 228 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,920 Ireland, like everybody wants to go away because like everyone's 229 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,920 just mates, you know what I mean? 230 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,400 Like everyone like it's a really enjoyable like couple of weeks 231 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,000 when maybe some other internationals, international 232 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,600 teams are not like that and. Definitely tell yeah with like 233 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,080 England and they always say like others, you know, the club 234 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,360 rivalries, carryovers, you've got like the players that are 235 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,400 based in Manchester, the London players. 236 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,120 But like anytime I've been around the Northern Ireland 237 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,120 squad, it's just like it is, it's just a big group of me. 238 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,840 It's. Got 0 without you get Kayla 239 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,680 pretty just causing carnage and Josh just learn his average 240 00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,160 it'll be fair. Kale Kale gets like a bad sort 241 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,840 of persona, it said. But like, when you actually know 242 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,360 him and like you see him about, like he's just complete lads and 243 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,080 like he's a, he's a top guy, yeah. 244 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,320 He's like he's never done a video with us. 245 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,760 I sort of get it with some of the players because some are are 246 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,440 100% up for it. But then I understand part of it 247 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,960 as well is you're away in like an international training camp, 248 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,640 so you might want to just focus on football and not do that sort 249 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,120 of thing. But he's he's always been like 250 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,640 100% nice. Like, yeah. 251 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,240 Like to us? But yeah, it always seems like a 252 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,680 big group of mates when I meet the northern squad and then me 253 00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,080 like kind of hanging, hanging around the outskirts trying not 254 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,720 to like, because I don't want to like take up. 255 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,440 Like when we're filming a video, people come up and chat then how 256 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,920 are you and that sort of thing. And like, I do get like very, 257 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,480 very starstruck. I do a good job of hiding it, 258 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,240 but like massively like I just love it. 259 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,360 And I'm always sort of looking for like training gear lying 260 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,040 about. Is that your? 261 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,600 Plug to me that this like the throwaway better gear your way. 262 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,800 I nicked a pair of boots. The chair from I was playing a 263 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,000 charity game. Was that was that a Crusaders? 264 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,600 No. Was that when you when you love 265 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,240 to keep everything and people have seen that? 266 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,240 We'll talk about that. Yeah, let's discuss it, Yeah. 267 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,440 First of all, pay but you, Nick was Northern Ireland under 20 268 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,600 ones, had played France under 20 ones and I was playing in a 269 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,080 charity game the next day for Vauxhall. 270 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,200 I played in that game with that France, Northern Ireland. 271 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,600 It could be my boots. Yeah, yellow threads. 272 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:34,480 That I could imagine. We were, there was stuff like we 273 00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:37,360 were like all catered out. It was this, this charity game. 274 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,880 The our manager was Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, Big 275 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,880 Charlie Lawson, he was our manager. 276 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,720 Gillespie was playing Sammy McElroy, few others. 277 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,480 And then it was just all like competition winners. 278 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,120 I didn't I they asked me to plan like I just don't think I 279 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,960 entered. I didn't enter a competition. 280 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,120 But what were you like all stripped out? 281 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,080 All the gear was there in like the proper changing room and 282 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,720 where where I was put there was like 2 pairs of socks like 283 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,440 French national team socks, a pair of boots, a pair of yellow 284 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:15,320 Peres, a toile and Ali Daz toile and I just took it. 285 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,720 So is that the France from the Francis team? 286 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,040 But they left like you know, they left the next day, do you 287 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,240 know? He played now France team 288 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,960 against us like big dogs. Rabio Thomas, Lamar Denbelly up 289 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,080 top. Osmond Denbelly was on the 290 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,560 bench. Yeah, he came on like Bakayoko, 291 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,640 like big players like so could be one of the hers. 292 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,440 I mean, I should find out who it was and then sell them on eBay. 293 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,640 But Oh yeah, Michael. See, here's the thing. 294 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,600 When I play in like charity matches and all that sort of 295 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,720 thing, there's no expectation on me to play well. 296 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,160 So if I like, you know, miss the ball or it hits me and goes out 297 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,240 of play, it doesn't matter because people go, he's doing a 298 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,760 bit, you know what I mean? Like funny bastard, he's 299 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,960 pretending he slipped there, you know. 300 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,600 But then if I do anything, then people are like, I can't believe 301 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080 that. And that charity, like the 302 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,280 standard of that was probably better because there was like 303 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,840 Jimmy Gilton was playing skin Barry Johnson. 304 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,120 There was like loads of boys who probably didn't stop playing 305 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,440 that long ago, unlike Sammy. Something like Sammy McElroy and 306 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,800 Gillespie was playing Frampton. It was unreal. 307 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,160 What? Was Frampton like, was he good? 308 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,800 He was good. I think at the start of the game 309 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,120 he was like, I can't really run because he was like in a 310 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,720 training camp for a fight. So he's like, I can't really 311 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,280 like get hurt. And then after like 20 minutes, 312 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,200 I think. I think once he saw me score a 313 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,640 goal, he thought anyone can do it and he started really trying. 314 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,400 But he was like, he was fast, like very fit, as you'd imagine. 315 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,920 But me, I scored that goal. I don't blame he was in Nets 316 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,920 you're like you played well whenever. 317 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,520 No, no, but I know he's an Irish League legend, didn't they? 318 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,720 Well, he just played Premier League as well, did he? 319 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,600 Yeah, he played against Arsenal and I think the FA Cup final 320 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,440 think yeah play against like Terry, Henry and. 321 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,600 They didn't lob them, did they? They didn't lob. 322 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,840 No, I don't think. I think Henry managed to 323 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,680 fluently get one past them. But yeah, I mean, I've just 324 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,920 basically like Magellan has has knocked one to me. 325 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,960 I'm about 25 yards out in front of the opposition dugout, big 326 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,080 DJ, big David Jeffrey watching. And I'm also thinking I play 327 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,360 well here. But you know, I go to Bellamy 328 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,160 and yeah, take a touch on my left. 329 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,920 I'm right footed, by the way, Spotted Blaney was about an inch 330 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,080 and a half off his line. And then all of done is just 331 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,360 wrapped the boot round it and it's gone in. 332 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,120 And I couldn't enjoy it because I was so panicked that it wasn't 333 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,160 caught in video. Someone was videoing for 334 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,920 Facebook Live some kid and I was like playing but also like 335 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,720 looking for him to go. Did you get that? 336 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,680 I didn't really get a good enough version of it. 337 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,960 So the next day I contacted the cruise and asked their security 338 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,760 team if they could get the CCTV in the game. 339 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,760 He's about to say look like a CCTV. 340 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,040 Video it is. It's as a time going all the 341 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,080 top. Eric Allen Blaney realises your 342 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,240 favourite side stories like I remember you're not making a 343 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,839 certain Rory McIlroy. I don't like another one. 344 00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:11,720 I don't really like to talk. About, you know. 345 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,040 No, sometimes you've got to have a bit of class. 346 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,839 But tell you what it was it was playing five aside in Bangor and 347 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,960 I didn't know he was playing. It was him and his mates mate 348 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,079 brought me but didn't really tell me he was playing. 349 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,760 I'm wearing the Brazil shirt from Things 2002. 350 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,520 So you bring that your inner Ronaldinho. 351 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,120 I'm wearing that, but it's like a baggy one. 352 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,800 I'm wearing quite sure. Like I look, I look like I'm 353 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,240 either going to be brilliant or terrible. 354 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,640 First minute of the game, balls played to me. 355 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,760 McElroy comes in from the side, but after I've seen him come in, 356 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,160 he's not like he's not going side on. 357 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,240 He's just running at me straight and he doesn't know which way 358 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,760 I'm going to go. The legs are open. 359 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,200 I've not looked. I've just touched it with the 360 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,240 outside of my boot, spun around him like Berkamp. 361 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,600 And then I did it again about 3 minutes later. 362 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,240 Twice. Yeah, twice. 363 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,840 That's that's disrespectful now, like. 364 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,960 And, you know, here's the thing, we didn't even like chat after 365 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,880 this one. I just started doing my video. 366 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,360 So I had no idea if he would know me. 367 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,880 And then because he's got his mates, I didn't like, I'm not 368 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,760 somebody, like, go up and, like, bother someone. 369 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,280 So I was like, I'll leave him to it. 370 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,120 And then that night I saw him out in Hollywood and we were 371 00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:21,560 chatting about it and, like, laughing about it. 372 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,400 Yeah. And he was saying that that's 373 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,600 kind of the reason behind a lot of his success. 374 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,920 He said that moment sort of spurred him on to achieve 375 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,840 greatness. Yeah. 376 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,200 Yeah. You know, and he said like I 377 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,720 always think of, you know, when he's thinking of like, you know, 378 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,880 inspirational people or heroes, as he would say he thinks of me 379 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,160 playing five aside and the and not like the Nielsen Brazil 380 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,160 shirt. I was actually surprised he'd 381 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,480 done that video with you after that, but then obviously because 382 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,160 you inspired him, that's obviously why. 383 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,720 Just giving you so you return the favour really wouldn't. 384 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,640 They we did a video across the road, Ned's Bar, Maple Bar. 385 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,240 And then I'd actually never met him. 386 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,400 You know, he's one of those people who like say, if you're 387 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,000 from Hollywood, everyone was his best mate as a child. 388 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,960 Everyone will be like, no, me and Rory used to fucking golf 389 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,000 balls and all the driving range.

You don't know. 391 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,280 But he like agreed to do the video and I thought he was going 392 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,520 to arrive like managers, agents just showed up by himself. 393 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,080 I said is anything like off limits, saying anything you 394 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,560 don't want to talk about?

So let's let's go back right. 425 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,080 Like you, The first time I I saw or heard you or became aware of 426 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,680 you was when I was watching the Liverpool documentary. 427 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,840 Oh yeah. Brendan Rodgers, manager, was on 428 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,080 Channel 5.

This was like before all these 434 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,280 and I was like right in the dressing room. 435 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,520 And it was brilliant. It was fascinating. 436 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,800 Like I'm not a Liverpool fan, but I loved it. 437 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,480 And then that part of it was covering A preseason tour to the 438 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,480 States. And then it introduced you. 439 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,960 You were like 16 at the time. Yeah, 7th just turned, 7 just 440 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,240 turned. 17 and you're running into Roma Yeah and you Mark 441 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,320 Toddy Francesco Toddy like and just marked them out of the game 442 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,320 it. Was actually quite chilled. 443 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,560 You know, I had, do you know what Joe was the maddest thing, 444 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,600 right? I was kind of five said about 445 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,440 two weeks, 3 weeks before out of the Grobner right in the falls. 446 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,880 And I'd literally like, I remember like honestly, like I 447 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,520 remember my thought process. I was just sat down in the 448 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,400 change room of Fenway Park, which was an iconic stadium as 449 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,240 well. Yeah. 450 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,120 And Rogers comes over to me and he was like, look, look, Sean, 451 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,000 rub my face. He was like, Todd, he's going to 452 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,240 play in the left wing. He's 36. 453 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,320 He won't fancy it. He was like, you banter me. 454 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,720 He won't fancy it. He's like, he won't track back 455 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:04,880 for you. I was like, right, right. 456 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,080 So I'll just rub him forward a little bit. 457 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,120 And then I was like, right, OK, no problem. 458 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,920 So I was like, sort of like go focusing on the game. 459 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,040 I just hear people speaking and like, like heard someone. 460 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,800 I shake someone's hand to my left and I looked up James Bond. 461 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:22,400 Daniel Craig is just standing there, a big Liverpool fan going 462 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,320 around shaking everyone's hand. And I was like. 463 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,080 Was he playing for Roma? No, he was at the kid, he was at 464 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,560 the he was walking around just introducing himself to everyone 465 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,720 and I was like, I was thinking myself. 466 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,320 I was literally playing. If I ever say it, remind me it's 467 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,920 a few weeks ago and I'm about to mark Toddy in front of 45,000 468 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,280 and Daniel Craig's children about the change room before 469 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,920 introducing themselves to me as if I don't know him. 470 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,720 Before that, like 2 a couple weeks before you were marking a 471 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,760 50 year old 20 stone brick player. 472 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,880 And he absolutely had me an absolute nuts. 473 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,480 But I remember the first part of the game, the ball came out the 474 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,280 top like the keeper ping the ball, the Toddy and I was behind 475 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,520 him. So trying to win the header, 476 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,680 ball comes down to Toddy and just goes bomb off his shoulder 477 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,920 straight back to the centre half and then just jogs away like out 478 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,600 there as if it was not. But I was like, there's levels 479 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,520 this game. That was not. 480 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,520 Madness. Yeah, it was you know what as 481 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,280 well, actually had a good game. Oh yeah, I remember coming in 482 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,680 after it and like Kyger was shooting like oh, like brilliant 483 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,200 right back because it was the young kid that was starting and 484 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,960 it was me and Raheem Sterling when he was starting was 16. 485 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,320 I was 17. So madness. 486 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,120 He was 16 as well. And then so because it was the 487 00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:33,280 first game of pre season, everyone played 1/2 each. 488 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:39,240 So like so our our team finished and the rest went to watch the 489 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,520 second-half. I went and jumped in the Jacuzzi 490 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,800 with dual Cole and I was just like, this is the modest 491 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,560 experience. I really was just sadly just 492 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,520 talking about his Chelsea days to me like and I was just like 493 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,360 as a 17 year old here and that I was just like, let me. 494 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:53,840 You're talking about your Glen Avon day, yeah. 495 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,320 Glenavon, Lisburn, New stairs. Yeah, I was like, I remember, 496 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,240 remember Joe Cooler played Shankill United away and should 497 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,280 have seen the hostility. Or like, I mean, it might be 498 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,560 Galatasher in the Champions League, but Shankles, the 499 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,760 Shankill is an absolute. It is hostile. 500 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,880 Like you show me more hostile environment than the hammer. 501 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,960 So yeah, that whole experience was just, but you don't realise 502 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,640 you're in a bubble. I mean, you don't realise how 503 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,960 many like my mates were in, were in Grand Canaria watching the 504 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,440 match. So we're like on the strip. 505 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,960 And I just like, that's mental. Do what I mean, because like, 506 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,000 it's like I was everywhere. And like you don't realise like, 507 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,080 because you're in a bubble over there until you come home. 508 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,120 Like, you go out the box and you're like, Sanders, I'd say 509 00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:36,040 give me a VIP and you're like, could have made it here, you 510 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,760 know, made it. What? 511 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,240 How did you get on Brendan Rodgers? 512 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,320 I got along with before I got along well, partly because 513 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,800 obviously he's from back home as well and. 514 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,280 Delighted they have you on board, yeah. 515 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,720 He pronounces his tease a lot. So what? 516 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,920 I mean, like, it's not like you can tell he's been in England 517 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,720 the way but he was he was a top guy before and he was obviously 518 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,560 he first came in and he brought me away straight away. 519 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,040 And but he was, I feel like it was sort of hard done by a 520 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,480 little bit at Liverpool because he had an unbelievable like time 521 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,000 there and then he lost Suarez and then obviously he's very 522 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,440 hard to replace. Yeah. 523 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,880 And then just the gobsy they got rid of. 524 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,680 But then you see club coming and I think if club didn't come in 525 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,520 and another manager come in and failed and people would have 526 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,080 been like, well, this is like Brandon was this good because 527 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,920 club come in and just completely like tore up the script really. 528 00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:30,600 Where are you from, Belfast? The West. 529 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,120 The glorious West. And what what's it like when you 530 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:38,360 are 1617 plan for Liverpool, You know, when you come home, what's 531 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,560 what's the like reaction that like the people love it or 532 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,360 people just.

See what I mean? 547 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,520 And she had like you Liverpool tracksuit on, but you could tell 548 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,400 she was mailed out and like because I obviously played for 549 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,960 Liver like she was proper buzzing. 550 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,520 So it got extra Curry and all of it and a few chicken balls like. 551 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,600 But that's basically the gist of the perks of playing for 552 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,560 Liverpool really got me. She is that like do you know 553 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,840 what the definitely the most smacked at Liverpool top was? 554 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,200 Do you remember the one that was like yellowy gold with like 555 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,680 black trim all rounded? Carlsberg. 556 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,280 And how do we round neck? Yeah, 100% that. 557 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,560 And then like the bright yellow one with red trim, round neck. 558 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,440 Reebok.

Like there's there is logic to 562 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,000 what you say, though, because like you know, if you in the 563 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,840 Chinese in the West and I'm serving you stinking. 564 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,960 Yeah, alarm bells are ringing. Like oh mate. 565 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,880 Yeah, but I don't understand why like Chinese he see changes in 566 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,160 England. They're they're horrific, but 567 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,680 like I don't know why like they're so good here. 568 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,040 Like it's such a random place now. 569 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:42,880 Amazing Chinese is. Yeah, because you, you think 570 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,680 like Chinese people would be confused if they if they came 571 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,520 here, you know? You know, it's coming here on 572 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,120 holiday for whatever reason, you know, no reason they wouldn't go 573 00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:52,920 to like, say they go to, you know, Turf Lodge or something 574 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,880 for a holiday. You know, if you want to let off 575 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,480 a bit of steam and then, you know, you're walking around 576 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,800 looking for some deep, the last thing you're going to expect to 577 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,680 see is a traditional Chinese. But then it's the whole thing 578 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,000 that like, that's not what they eat in China. 579 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,840 I know. I actually wondered that. 580 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,000 Like when you're in China, take it they wouldn't have like like 581 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,280 a gravy chip of chicken balls and sweet. 582 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,640 Or two litre bottle of MILF. 100%. 583 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,280 Yeah, I think they're more in the like dried type food, you 584 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,360 know, like I don't like Dan. You've been to China. 585 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,080 Yeah. And what was the cuisine was 586 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,160 there? Like, you know, chicken ball 587 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,320 specials. Couldn't get a chicken ball 588 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,480 special. That saved my life when I was 589 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,480 out there. Well, what is it, like 590 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,960 grasshopper? You know it isn't it like 591 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,280 there's like fish head Stew? Yeah. 592 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,840 And then they love stuff like Peking Duck, which is like, 593 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,960 well, yeah, Peking ducks. Yeah, yeah. 594 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,880 Yeah, I know half and halfs. Won't be the chain and then 595 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,840 we'll be going there. Do you, do you remember? 596 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,120 Yeah, people here would always say that, like if they heard 597 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,640 that go like I never go to China. 598 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:04,280 It's like you wouldn't anyway. I remember when you were playing 599 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,640 for Liverpool, you, me, were chatting on Twitter. 600 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,640 We're big fans of Suits. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're big fans 601 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,640 of suits. And I remember you saying that 602 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,680 you had a chance to go to the MLS on loan. 603 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,200 Toronto, Yeah. You didn't go. 604 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,120 Should you have gone? Probably that. 605 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,080 Well, you weren't going to go because you were like, you know, 606 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,240 you wanted to like have a real go at Liverpool. 607 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,840 Yeah, Do you know what it was? So they come in for me on loan 608 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,520 and Gary McAllister was like this assistant, I think the 609 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,960 Brian Rodgers and Scottish fella. 610 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,800 And he was telling he was going about Liverpool busy saying, 611 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,280 look, I don't know why the young players aren't going to 612 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,160 Scotland. Like it's a good, very good 613 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,320 league to go to. And I was speaking to the 614 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,040 Academy director at the time of Liverpool, Alex Singlethorpe, 615 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,760 and he was saying if you go ahead to Toronto, like, and with 616 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,840 the games on Sky Sports sometimes, but like it's going 617 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,960 to be like 4 in the morning, not many people are going to see you 618 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,640 out there. If you go to Scotland, it's 619 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,520 different. So I ended up going to Aberdeen 620 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,320 like and to be honest, I do regret not going to Toronto 621 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,360 because the experience out there would have been unbelievable. 622 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,880 And I think now people are like the MLS has got better from back 623 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,120 then even, but I think Jermaine Defoe would have been up top for 624 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,160 Toronto. I think I would have been. 625 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,880 I would have been unbelievable and the city of. 626 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,440 Toronto JD. Like 100% could. 627 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,840 You imagine, Yeah, could you imagine? 628 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,960 But yeah, apparently Toronto was going to be an unbelievable 629 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:22,960 city. But like, obviously because 630 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,000 Suits is filmed there as well. So I was like half like bit 631 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,400 reagent, like some print. If there's anybody ever just 632 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,680 trying to cheapskate watching this podcast, I mean, I just 633 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,720 need a right back. We're receiving her line. 634 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,000 I'm here waiting on this. Like if you had, if you hadn't 635 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,040 made that move, Prince Harry wouldn't be married to Meghan 636 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,800 Markle right now. I mean, you know what it's. 637 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,280 Just the reality of it. So what happened? 638 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,640 I was just watch. I was, I remember it was pre 639 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,960 season in Ireland and I was just like, so we were just like 640 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,120 obviously had a lot of free time. 641 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,120 We were in the middle of the worst where it wasn't much to 642 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,120 do. So I was obviously watching 643 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,520 those, binge watching Suits and I just thought, you know, I took 644 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,520 a photo of Meghan Markle on the screen and just wrote Rachel's 645 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,800 Rachel from Suits AKA Meghan Markle is an Angel face or 646 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,320 something, right? Love it. 647 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,440 Yeah, they're in standard. And so I was just like, so I 648 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,440 just put my phone down and started watching the rest of it. 649 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,080 I think it could have been the photocopying scenes or a 650 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,240 photocopy room scene. Megan Red Pillar having a good 651 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,200 time notification on my phone. Megan, Margo, thank you. 652 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,760 You're so kind with the heart. Had you? 653 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,400 Added her. I followed her. 654 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,920 But did you add her in? Your message, yeah, Added I said 655 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,080 Rachel, AKA at Megan Margo. Yeah. 656 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,000 So it was like a tactical one. Yeah, she replied to little 657 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,440 Liverpool fans that reply to it. And then when she replied, it 658 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,160 just blew you up, right? And then she followed me back. 659 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,880 And many years ago, would this be 10? 660 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:53,160 2015, right? Yeah, not like I'm counting 20th 661 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,760 of March. I'm with my girlfriend now from 662 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,600 2016, so don't worry. Don't worry, you're alright. 663 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,560 So 2015 this would have been and. 664 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,240 Now when she responds, is that a public response? 665 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,760 That's. A public response. 666 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,600 Thank you. You're so kind Quote tweeted as 667 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,000 well. Oh, so I was like, that's a bit. 668 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,600 She wants to put herself in the back. 669 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,160 I was like, yeah, chill. I mean, like quote tweeted, 670 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,200 like. But so then everyone went mental 671 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,680 over it and everyone was like, what? 672 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,520 Like only you would pull this off. 673 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,720 Yeah. And so I was. 674 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,960 Like people said that to her. Yeah, of course only you pull 675 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,240 off Liverpool team player, but she must be about it was 676 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,360 probably about 1920. She must have been in her late 677 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,040 20s. And at this point, do you 678 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:41,240 thinking you never know. You must be thinking like you 679 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,240 never know. So, you know, so I, I was like 680 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,080 what I do here. I remember saying that in the my 681 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,040 group shop back in the day, I was like, and they were like 682 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,440 DMR.

And then she like replied and 685 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,440 then she wrote again to me that she double messaged going would 686 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,080 would have put out a tweet about her her campaign that she's 687 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,000 doing. So he's like, yeah, yeah, no 688 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,560 problem, blah, blah. I was like done that. 689 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,680 And then like we're.

So then we were speaking for a 692 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,760 while, just not much. Like it wasn't like wasn't heavy 693 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,480 like people may think it was, you know what I mean? 694 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,600 But tabloids it wasn't. Heavy, right? 695 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,480 And then she ended up, I think she said, oh, we're filming, 696 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,280 we're filming Toronto. And that's when Toronto came in 697 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,360 for me on. I remember that. 698 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,000 Yeah. Yeah. 699 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000 But. And like I didn't really like I 700 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,680 must have got cold feet. So I mean, so I ended up going 701 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,560 to Aberdeen. But then she was like, if you're 702 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,720 ever there is some difference, I guess they're like I went to 703 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,600 live with now I'm getting Aberdeen now of course I'd 704 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:56,760 rather live for you and then.

What? 890 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,560 Yeah, I mean, that shows you that it's not that, but like it 891 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,120 can be bad, but if there's a gate to close a certain time of 892 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,560 night, you know? When I was saying that, I was 893 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,280 like, it doesn't sound right my head when I'm explaining it to 894 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,040 them, yeah, it's like, it's not like that, but then it's. 895 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,120 Like, fill your boots until half nine and then I'm shutting this 896 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,800 gate. Yeah. 897 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,880 That's why it was this, it was just like, explain it to people 898 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,960 like it's hard because like where I live, it's just, it's 899 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,400 just obviously all Catholic.

Yeah, he'd, so he'd be speaking 918 00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:04,280 to clubs and then obviously during because COVID and all 919 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,880 blah, blah, like there's so many free agents at the minute. 920 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,200 So like, I know so many like Connors, we're going to be 921 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,240 Connors can be a free agent. You could you and your brother 922 00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:14,880 play in the same position sometime? 923 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,280 So like you could theoretically be competing to go to the same 924 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,720 club, Yeah. Or a club could be like down to 925 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:22,120 the lot. It could be between you and. 926 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,320 Him he may hope that we're not competing as I'll be taking that 927 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,400 spot like so you know what, we actually nearly got same by the 928 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,600 same club before all I was a he was a Fleetwood, sorry, and 929 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,280 Fleetwood came in for me when I was at Oldham and he was like 930 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,040 I'm going to play Connor right over three. 931 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,560 I remember I met him.

But that's the only time really. 938 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,840 But what? Obviously we played a few 939 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,440 Northern Ireland games together. It's weird like because I 940 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,280 remember who came on against Costa Rica, I think it was a 941 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,840 couple of years ago, Conor was right back. 942 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:07,960 I was right wing for some reason. 943 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,600 I play right wing when I'm going to play and doing like when you 944 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,040 see the left winger coming at him, you're like, yeah, since 945 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,440 he's my brother, I'll come back and help him here. 946 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,920 I'll try back for but but then he's not help me when I'm going 947 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,640 forward.

But verbally abused, right? 1023 00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:50,600 That's better. So doesn't serve. 1024 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,880 I didn't start that off well, right, and it was Craig Bellamy 1025 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,920 that done it right.

So because I was like flipping, 1064 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,240 I was only over there a few months, yeah, but I was homesick 1065 00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:45,840 as anything size like half thinking just go home. 1066 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,840 So yeah, go home there. And they were all buzzing like. 1067 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,520 So that's probably like one of the like when you're 16, like 1068 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,520 you're just a wee bit like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1069 00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:57,400 But Bellamy had that fuse to and train them were like you could 1070 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,600 properly flip. Was all that time but racer with 1071 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,320 the Golf Club like Jesus Christ? Oh yeah. 1072 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,560 I wasn't there Liverpool at that time like but. 1073 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,400 Are there less characters like that in football now, do you 1074 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,200 think? I think. 1075 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,920 But you know what I think I don't think there is. 1076 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,040 I think it's hidden probably well, because the media are 1077 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,040 like, yeah, obviously. Well, yeah. 1078 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,280 And I think, I don't think. And the public, I think 1079 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,320 Christmas dues, like all things they got there, would be like 1080 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,160 way more timid than what? It used to be OR initiation. 1081 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,840 Yeah, yeah, because you wouldn't get away with it because there's 1082 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,560 camera phones everywhere, blah, blah. 1083 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,840 Like people you'd be on tech talking about 5 minutes if you 1084 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,560 do something in a club on Christmas Day. 1085 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,480 And so I think that takes away maybe the characters like 1086 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,800 showing themselves, but like behind closed doors in the 1087 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,160 change, you know, the crack still there, like it's still 1088 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,080 like you still be doing different things. 1089 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,440 They could be it's still fun, but I don't know what it's like. 1090 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,200 Probably first team level in the Premier League. 1091 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,880 I was still I'd say Jimmy Vardy, like would have a laugh. 1092 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,280 What I mean, yeah, yeah, I can see like maybe I don't know what 1093 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,400 the because the foreigners like their their type of cracks 1094 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,120 probably different from like ours and England as well. 1095 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:05,880 So I don't know how that comes across. 1096 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,880 But in League One or not in the Championship and all, I'm sure 1097 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,200 it's all the same. Really like the crack in 1098 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,440 Northern Ireland's class. I remember you were when I do 1099 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,240 gig in Liverpool and we were sort of hanging out and you said 1100 00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:20,080 about washing, washing your own training kit. 1101 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:21,640 Oh. Yeah, at Blackpool. 1102 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,840 At Blackpool, Yeah, Madness. Like I just wouldn't believe 1103 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,200 that. You know what's mad, right? 1104 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,120 So they were like their big club, obviously stadiums class. 1105 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,240 They were in League One at the time and we were we were 1106 00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:39,040 training at an old driving range at a what an old driving range, 1107 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,320 right. And I was like, I didn't know 1108 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:42,720 it. So obviously before send, but 1109 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,400 and the manager was paying for it. 1110 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,160 Like he ended up leaving because of it and because this was the 1111 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,720 oysters were the owners right and they wouldn't put any money 1112 00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:53,280 into it. So we were we were training 1113 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,680 there. We had to like wash your own 1114 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,880 kit. And I was like, I'd never wash 1115 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:58,720 my own kit like my life. So I was like what? 1116 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,200 So I'd be like, I I think you'll forget about it like the like 1117 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,120 the night before and I was smelly kid that throw it in the 1118 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:05,520 wash.

I was like, Oh my God. 1122 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,240 So like things like that still happen. 1123 00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:14,960 Like there's still probably some clubs that do watch their own 1124 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,880 kid but like and you have to bring it in and also like you 1125 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,840 may forget few things.

I think Logan Paul is trying to. 1234 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,200 I don't think anyone's like throwing the fight. 1235 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,760 I don't think it's like you're losing this round or will do 1236 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,240 this because you that will look fake. 1237 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,320 I think the whole thing is like Mayweather can control those 1238 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,760 fights as he could win in the 1st. 1239 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,960 You can win in the 1st 20 seconds if you want, I think. 1240 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,200 But I think the whole thing is that he knows that if he 1241 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,240 stretches these fights out a bit, there's more chance of 1242 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:25,840 another fight. He's never going to lose. 1243 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,880 But like, I don't think you choreograph it as much, but I do 1244 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,240 think Mayweather thought he'd knocked him out doing this where 1245 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,640 if he'd done. That BBC didn't look great 1246 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,560 against Logan Paul to get the Jake Paul to fade him and his 1247 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,480 completely spark him out yeah yeah, and like and because. 1248 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,120 Of regenerate interest because people be thinking, oh. 1249 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,720 Like because Jake Paul can actually like you can, you can 1250 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,320 scrap a bit like for being a YouTube like he actually can 1251 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:50,600 bang. That's a scary thing. 1252 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,160 Like we're talking about this William McCord. 1253 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:58,080 He is obviously like a talented boxer, like a talented someone 1254 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,000 who's taken up boxing is talented at it, has a flair for 1255 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,440 it and he's and so you can probably box better than anyone. 1256 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,680 I know it's not a boxer, but then in a professional fight, he 1257 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:12,040 looks like they look horrible. Any any punch, doesn't matter 1258 00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,560 what they're doing. They don't look good. 1259 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:19,240 So like, I just think that's the only thing stopping me enjoying 1260 00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:20,800 these fights. It just doesn't look like a 1261 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:22,680 boxing match. One time Logan Paul ran at 1262 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:23,680 Mayweather. Did you see it? 1263 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,000 Yeah, and he was. Just it was like, I'd say Curly, 1264 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,720 he's like back in the day, just sleeping, doing 2 match, going 1265 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:29,720 at it. Yeah, yeah. 1266 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:30,960 And they were. Just like he was. 1267 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,160 Swimming. Yeah, he wasn't even. 1268 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:32,800 Punching. Yeah, Yeah. 1269 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,600 And like, it was like it. Was a mad as it because like 1270 00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,720 when you're watching like. And doing training and he's just 1271 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,080 doing the bag and he like he looks like proper punches. 1272 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:41,560 So elegant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1273 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,440 And then it comes to the. Fate and it's just like does 1274 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,520 like all the technique go at the. 1275 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,280 Window. And because I mean the end of 1276 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,080 the day, you could each spark me out in 5 seconds. 1277 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,920 Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely. See it the mirror but. 1278 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,680 Yeah, it doesn't look. Just it doesn't look easy on the 1279 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,040 eye when you're watching like Sean McComb, Mctrone, whatever. 1280 00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,560 Like you see like high goods, you know, like technically when 1281 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,160 the phone punches and like you just compare that to that and 1282 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,840 it's like you can see why they feel hard done by over the money 1283 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,040 they're making. Yeah, yeah. 1284 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:08,880 It's like. It's like basically like. 1285 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,600 A movie star going and playing football and getting a deal at 1286 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,040 United. Yeah, like there was a wee The 1287 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,040 guy from Goal. The guy from. 1288 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,680 Goal being like Santiago. Munoz. 1289 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,320 Ever see his technique? It was the worst ever. 1290 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,520 I want to see you in Santiago. Munoz been upfront for Toronto. 1291 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,680 I'd be the dream. Yeah, I know. 1292 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,320 It's great and getting all those guests. 1293 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,560 On his class. Last thing I want to ask you 1294 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,280 about is playing computer games online on twitch. 1295 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,600 I don't know anything about that world. 1296 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,240 I don't know what the games are used to play. 1297 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,920 I don't know anything about it. But how much time do you spend 1298 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,000 doing? Footballers love it, don't they? 1299 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,280 It's, it's madness. Like I no joke. 1300 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,840 Right, I've played like it's weird TMC online, like you meet 1301 01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,640 friends who you've never met before and like you're you'd be 1302 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,520 say you'd be mates to them. So I mean, it's weird like, and 1303 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:02,880 you've never seen them in real life. 1304 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,040 And then like it brings. You to some places like I was 1305 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,920 playing Warzone and I was playing with like one of my 1306 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,160 mates that used to be at Liverpool with and ended up 1307 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:13,760 Delhi. Ali joins the party. 1308 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,120 See what I mean? And so I'm playing by chance 1309 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,480 just because he's mates with him, right And. 1310 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,360 You just meet him through that. And then he ended up playing 1311 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:24,080 with him for like a week, right? And then like, like my mates 1312 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,400 from back home or shit in Plymouth, like so Raheem start. 1313 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,600 I play with Raheem Sterling on wars sometimes And like my mates 1314 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,720 from back home were literally like, you know, like working 1315 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,880 from home, but play with Raheem Sterling on Call of Duty at the 1316 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,200 same time. It's not. 1317 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,320 It's just like they're messaging me up. 1318 01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:38,520 They go. This is why do you want to grab 1319 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,200 it? But the name job. 1320 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:40,960 Yeah, sorry. I. 1321 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:45,200 Forgot I forgot to. I got 1 up. 1322 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,480 But you know what?

When you're playing. 1325 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,280 Grand Theft Auto, like everyone you come up in the city is a 1326 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,360 real person. So like you're going up. 1327 01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,400 So like you're going up to somebody, see someone in the 1328 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,080 street in Grand Theft Auto and they get closer. 1329 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:03,680 You can start speaking to them when you walk away. 1330 01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:06,120 They don't tear you as much.

Because it's like an escape 1345 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,600 almost. It's like, like you say a 1346 01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,360 bubble, you're talking about Liverpool being a bubble. 1347 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,240 It's another bubble where like you're just focused on that. 1348 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,320 You're not reading texts. And that's what I said. 1349 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,000 Like I the amount of footballers that played is. 1350 01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:01,480 Mental like we play, I played in like an actual tournament, a war 1351 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,600 zone tournament for footballers. Like so I was playing against 1352 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,320 all these teams, my mates from home and like the players and 1353 01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,960 the other teams were like like some Mason Mount, Oxford Chamber 1354 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,000 and Jayden Sancho.
