We're back. 57 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,080 People tortured us asking know that we're back. 58 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,520 No one says that award they might not awareance we got. 59 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,680 No, we're back. Give us some praise, guys. 60 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,920 I don't know what I can say about this episode apart from 61 00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,160 just launching straight into it. Patrice Ever, Man United legend, 62 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,600 French football legend, just one of the we're in an era where 63 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,840 there aren't that many characters in football, and 64 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,040 that's something that's been lost. 65 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,440 That feels like a mid 90s thing. But Patrice Ever is truly one of 66 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,160 football's great characters. And I think what you find as 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,280 well is when you have these cult heroes that people just love. 68 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,920 Sometimes people just love the personality. 69 00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,560 Maybe they weren't as great players, but we just remember 70 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,040 them as being a lot of fun. Or the other way around. 71 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,520 We just remember football as being football, but we we don't 72 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,480 get their personality. Patrice Evera may be one of the 73 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,720 only guys who you get both with. I was just a huge fan of him 74 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,760 when he's a player and I'm a bigger fan know that he's not. 75 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,720 I just love his social media when he does is ever a Marley 76 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,880 character or just runs about telling people that he loves 77 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,040 this game. He is a fascinating character, 78 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,160 somebody who I respect massively for what he did in football and 79 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,960 then outside of it. We talk about his football 80 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,400 career, but then so much outside of that and and what he's been 81 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,360 up to since. I can't believe that this 82 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,680 episode happened. But if you're more from Patrice, 83 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,480 check out his YouTube channel. Patrice has a YouTube channel 84 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,000 too. And this is a guy you want to 85 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,400 see this year. You I want to see what he's up 86 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,560 to. You know, he's got those glasses 87 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,120 on. I don't know where he is around 88 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,000 the world or what he's doing, but he's got a YouTube channel 89 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,360 where he's putting up content to show all that kind of stuff in 90 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,920 the link for that is in the description. 91 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,800 And we thank Nico for our made from pride and pinion, who's 92 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,800 going to be on episode in a couple of weeks for facilitating 93 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,160 this and making it happen. This is dream stuff. 94 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,880 I can't believe I'm saying this. This is Tea with Me podcast with 95 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:56,880 my guest Patrice Ever We we Patrice, you always seem to be 96 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,880 like a positive guy, but this morning being out late last 97 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,960 night, is it difficult to be positive this morning? 98 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,680 I'm stay positive.

She was like, remember last 122 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,560 night you said you were going to FaceTime Patrice Ever, but you 123 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,800 guys were only eating it like 10:15 last night. 124 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,800 Yeah, but it's it's Nico.

If you leave, he should come 156 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,480 here. You can play Irish league. 157 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,640 Oh, definitely no more.

Had like some problem with his 160 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,440 weight and I remember one day I was with Ferguson and Ferguson, 161 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,560 said Anderson. Come here. 162 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240 And he said to Ando, Ando, come on, I spoke with the doctor, you 163 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,600 know, you need to eat healthy and whatever. 164 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,480 Then Ando just asked to the gaffer how much you earn pay a 165 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,760 week. And Ferguson was like, what? 166 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,520 He said when I've got the same salary, maybe I'm going to start 167 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,440 eating salad.

Because because people don't 260 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,560 understand, you know, some people play football for fun or 261 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:46,960 whatever, but I always say if you want to stay at the top, 262 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,040 it's easy to reach the top of the pyramid. 263 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,000 But to stay at the top, that's when you have to make sacrifice. 264 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,800 It's a 24 hours job. Like you have to eat and sleep 265 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,840 football. You have to be dedicated about 266 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,200 that. When you do that, you sacrifice 267 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,560 time with your family, with your friend. 268 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,680 You know, and I always tell that story when I came back home one 269 00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:09,520 day and my son, my first son, Lenny was crying. 270 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,320 He was three years old. I said, why you cry? 271 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,760 He said because I hate Manchester United and I was 272 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,760 like, Oh my God, it's a Liverpool fan, Chelsea. 273 00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,720 Like don't tell me that I'm going to have a heart attack. 274 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,600 And I said why you hate Man United? 275 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,760 And he said because the Man United took my dad away and he 276 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,320 was three years old. So that's why I think, you know, 277 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,000 I was just a machine. And especially when you play on 278 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,440 the Sir Alex Ferguson, you just you, you don't, I don't know 279 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,400 what's happened, you know, in in the world because my world was 280 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,560 just football. Yeah. 281 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,480 You, you eat, sleep, football, like I say. 282 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,600 Yeah, it's like it. Like, I mean, I travel 1% 283 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,480 compared to what you do. I travel a little bit with 284 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,440 comedy and I have two, my kids are two and four. 285 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,000 And me and Nico had this chat. We did a podcast last week. 286 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,440 It's too difficult to balance. You can't, you know. 287 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160 You can't and you have to be honest, like, if you want to be 288 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,320 really successful. And fortunately, you're on your 289 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,840 own. Yeah, you're on your own. 290 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,400 And that's why you see Ferguson and rest in peace to to his 291 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,960 wife, Katie. She says she was the boss. 292 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,840 I thanks so much to educate our children. 293 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,000 You know, without a woman, we won't be able to to travel to do 294 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,360 what we're doing now. So you have to make a choice. 295 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,760 And unfortunately, you know, you have to want to bring the food 296 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,120 home and you have to travel. And to be honest, I'm working 297 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,200 for me is a luxury. I never complain, you know, 298 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,320 sometime I say yes, I travel too much or whatever, but I feel 299 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,720 blessed and grateful. Yeah. 300 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,400 Like how many people will dream to be at my place? 301 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,240 Yep.

OK, look, so we have like Irish 305 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,880 League Championship, Championship 2 Amateur league. 306 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,360 Well. 1A. One BI was playing 1C, so I've 307 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,440 been there too. You know what I mean? 308 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,280 Like I've I know what you mean about I. 309 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,560 Respect. I know I. 310 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,400 Know you respect, Of course you respect that I spent for 311 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,960 Hollywood FC.

So I know what you mean, but 314 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,960 this, this is like 1 of this is the coolest moment in the 315 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,080 history of winning this podcast for four or five years. 316 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,240 And this is the coolest moment to have you hear you like we've 317 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,880 had. Obviously I'm a stand up 318 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,240 comedian. We've had some of the biggest 319 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,720 comedians in the world from America on the podcast. 320 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,800 But this is the best. And I want to know what, what's 321 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,600 the coolest moment in your life? And it doesn't have to be 322 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,640 football, but maybe somewhere you've got to go a project 323 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,240 you've got to be part of what stands out for you is like, this 324 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,120 is the moment that got you most excited. 325 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,960 I'll not be offended if you don't say this. 326 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,320 I know this is. Up there. 327 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:02,840 I will probably the first time I see Nico weave out a shirt, I 328 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,600 was excited. This can be one of them, but I 329 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:14,440 won't put this one. No offence Nico, but no, you 330 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,560 know, you know, this question is really difficult for me to 331 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,520 answer because I am good to entertain people. 332 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,920 But if you ask me what excite you, Patrice, actually it's 333 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:34,720 nothing. And I had an interview with with 334 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000 the guys and he was asking me. But Patrice, you know what 335 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,280 pleased you in life? And I say when my family are 336 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,960 happy, when my kids are happy, when my friends are happy. 337 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,040 But what you, you what pleased you? 338 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,600 And you know my my simple and worst answer I gave, I say I'm 339 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,760 just excited and happy when I go to cinema on my own and eating 340 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,160 popcorn. So actually I'm really boring. 341 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,080 I realise I'm really boring. So if you ask me the most 342 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,440 excited moment to to be honest, it was when I was 70 years old. 343 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,880 Then I join a club called Marsala in Sicily, third 344 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,760 division. And I arrive, I see all my 345 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,680 teammate dressing the same. And I I went in my room and 346 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,720 called my mom and I was, you know, looking myself in the 347 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,240 mirror with the truck straight and so like proud. 348 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,119 And my mom said everything OK, I say mom, I made it like people 349 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,800 are here like they're serving us food is like 2 knife in one 350 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,320 side, 2 fucking the other side. And to be honest, this, this, if 351 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,000 you ask me, my most excited moment, that's was that moment, 352 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,240 like leaving the street and we vote. 353 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,720 Even starting my football career, I was like, I made it 354 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,640 just being out of the street.

We never. 418 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,840 Forget no. Gala scored the goal. 419 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,720 Everyone talk about Ari but he actually is William. 420 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,400 Gala scored the goal and I get a lot of stick because I didn't 421 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,920 take it seriously. Like I didn't know I you know, I 422 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,440 break your heart, your dad's heart. 423 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:56,440 And I when we back to I back to Manchester and I remember he was 424 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,600 a journalist. He said, Patrice, what do you 425 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,200 think? Like the Irish people want to, 426 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,280 to have a replay, a rematch. I said yeah, we can do the 427 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,920 rematch on PlayStation and it went viral, I know, but I didn't 428 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,760 mean it like I pro. I generally didn't mean it. 429 00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:15,360 And the Irish like finally hating me because of that. 430 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:19,240 So I want to also apologise again, thank God, because I want 431 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,440 to go back alive, you know, that's why I'm actually I'm 432 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,120 apologising now. I want to make sure I made, you 433 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:29,600 know, I made it on the plane, but it was a chaos. 434 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,280 Like like even the French people actually hate us. 435 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,960 They hate Terry. Only like politician was 436 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,320 involved. Say like we are cheated because 437 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,960 to be honest, I remember that game. 438 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,280 We shit our pants. Don't don't ask me the reason 439 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,440 why the Irish were all of us and even the stadium. 440 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,000 I feel like we didn't play in Paris. 441 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,280 We play in Ireland because we had a great game. 442 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,200 We we won actually the first leg in Ireland and I think you score 443 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,520 the first goal in France. And the atmosphere was electric. 444 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,320 And at half time I remember Dominic was talking and I talked 445 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320 to everyone. I say why we are shitting 446 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,440 ourselves. We gone. 447 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,240 We don't deserve to go to that World Cup and they are better 448 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,080 than us. Come on, we need to do something 449 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,200 about it. Yeah, when I mean something 450 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,960 about it, I didn't mean about the humble. 451 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,560 But so you didn't, did you? Maybe as a team you guys didn't 452 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,800 realise it was such a big story until the next day, I'd be 453 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,880 honest. We, I'd be honest, we didn't 454 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,520 realise. Like, I mean, when my donor, you 455 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,040 know, scored that goal in the, in the Walker, he was that kind 456 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,520 of level. But that's it. 457 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,560 We. Don't care about, we're fine 458 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,000 with that. That was against England when it 459 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,800 comes to our shores. But yeah, but but, and to be 460 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,280 fair that that that that World Cup was scarce because what 461 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,200 happened in 2010, we didn't even qualify. 462 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,000 And you know, we we didn't have, we didn't train for Nicola and 463 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000 Elka and we shouldn't have been in that World Cup that. 464 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,720 Documentary about that it was crazy because I think now with 465 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,120 Twitter and or X and things like that, we know so much about 466 00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,520 football apart from just the game. 467 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,800 We know about all the stories that are going on. 468 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,040 We have so much access, but back then you would read about it in 469 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,960 the newspaper, but we didn't like when I saw all the footage 470 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,760 and the interviews and that kind of thing. 471 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,840 I didn't realise that story was as big as it as it was. 472 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,680 And you were kind of like right in the middle of that. 473 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,000 I was the. Captain Yeah. 474 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,920 So even I remember Lillian Terami said Patricia should 475 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,080 never wear the the the French national shirt anymore. 476 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,280 It was a it was unbelievable. It was unbelievable. 477 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,200 But I've been like really honest with myself. 478 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,160 It's a document. It's going to come out on 479 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,960 Netflix about about the World Cup in nice nine and people will 480 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,800 finally understand what's happened because it was bigger 481 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,120 than the football. It was political. 482 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,000 I don't want to go in in in detail, but after that I came 483 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,040 back even stronger. I was just disappointed of some 484 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,440 you know people like Juram saying those kind of things 485 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,840 without even calling me. Then I remember when I I heard 486 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,840 him saying that on tvi asked to tear in his number and I called 487 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:15,000 to ram he never answer and I leave him like a crazy message. 488 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,440 Like voicemail.

OK, nice to meet you. 566 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,960 No, no, no.

I went home and my own agent was 572 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,320 with his wife and he put his hand on my shoulder and he said, 573 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,760 Patrice, I'm sorry. So what do you mean you sorry? 574 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,680 He said I should never bring bring you to United. 575 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,720 The challenge is too big. So this was like really painful. 576 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,800 Even your own people, they start not believing you anymore. 577 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,720 I missed the World Cup 2006. I work in the gym all the the 578 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,400 summer because I understand to play in Premier League you need 579 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,960 to be strong with your legs first. 580 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,360 Then when I come back, I remember we had a preseason in 581 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,440 South Africa and Mcphillan after the tournament shook my hand and 582 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,240 say welcome to to United. Now you're a United player. 583 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,880 So in that moment to say yes, I will. 584 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,000 No, no, I'm so I was so confident. 585 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,040 I think when I signed for United, he was a big slap on my 586 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,120 face because I think I was like already a big player. 587 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,440 I was named like four time in the world, the best French left 588 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,080 back, the best young French player and normally only 589 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,160 attacking player like Zidan, Tyrioni win this this award. 590 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,320 Playing in the National.

I wasn't like a fan of 597 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,280 Manchester United or whatever and yeah, I start to realise now 598 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,840 this is a completely new job as a new football. 599 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,640 I need to adapt to a new culture. 600 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,480 I've.

Because they always like they. 721 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,640 Sometimes a dog will like come as a guide. 722 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,160 Sometimes dogs you don't know will come round around your deck 723 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,360 like you know what I mean? No, you know what I mean? 724 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,280 Like they will just they go for that kind of and I, I, you know 725 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,400 what they. Say when they do that, actually 726 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,560 when you see a dog or he's coming to a woman, I will say 727 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:08,160 jaja or juju is because they're used to it apparently. 728 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:13,920 Sometimes they put some jam or whatever and the dog go and you 729 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,080 know, we're playing with his tongue. 730 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,480 That's what they told me. Like that's why when the dog 731 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,360 they come and this, that's what you've heard. 732 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,800 You've just what I heard. You heard. 733 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,160 That's what I heard. Guy, I know he's sound weird but 734 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,280 it makes sense to be honest. It doesn't make it because 735 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,560 here's what I'd be worried about. 736 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,120 Number one, I wouldn't do it. But if I did do it, yeah. 737 00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:36,040 What if the wolf dog thinks like wolf dog's hungry? 738 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,360 He's not just going to take the jam off, he's going to want the 739 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,120 sausage whenever. Yeah, exactly. 740 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,960 If you take the sausage where you say in France or what? 741 00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:51,200 Bon appetit. With with me it's like what if 742 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,320 the dog is already into like foot long subways and then if he 743 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,720 sees jam on one? What we talking? 744 00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:03,600 About dog Dogs eating jam. Oh my God. 745 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,200 Oh my God, guys. Well, yeah. 746 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,200 John peanut butter was one I'd heard over the years. 747 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,240 Peanut. Butter on Nutella. 748 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,680 Very specific, Patrice, very specific thought how you would 749 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,800 get dogs into the I. Don't want, I don't want any bad 750 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,080 guys. I'm sorry, did you make? 751 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,920 Any extravagant purchases when you when you played like was 752 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,720 there one like one thing that stands out that you maybe 753 00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:34,600 regret? Although I think you seem like a 754 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,040 guy doesn't really have regrets. Yeah. 755 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,880 Yeah, but to be honest, I I leave the presents. 756 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,840 You know, if you think about the past, you're going to live with 757 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,720 regret. If you think about the future, 758 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,760 you're going to live with anxiety and stress, whatever. 759 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,280 So I'm always focused in the present. 760 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,640 But if I have one regrets, one regret. 761 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,160 And you know what it is? It is like I bought that jacket 762 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,920 when I signed for Man United. First of all, I remember I was 763 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,560 living in Monaco and my agents say, you know, we're going in 764 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,920 December, you have to, to buy a jacket. 765 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:09,560 So I went to Hugo Boss there. I would say there I oh, you say 766 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,040 it. I lose my English, I'm afraid. 767 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,880 Yeah. Premium brand of figures, by the 768 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,240 way. Yeah, your English is. 769 00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:18,520 Better than mine, just to let you know. 770 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,440 It's just you and we're. Still trying to get it, but your 771 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,840 English is absolutely phenomenal. 772 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,200 Then they have a brand by the Savini. 773 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,920 So they talked me in this room and I remember the guys he bring 774 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,560 that jacket and I looked at jacket. 775 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,480 I was like, I'm not sure about that, but I try it. 776 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,120 And he was like Mr Everett, this is the jacket, you know, this is 777 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,320 the jacket. And I was like, no, I don't 778 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,480 think so. Yes, it is. 779 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,480 I come back to the cachet. That jacket was more than 3K, so 780 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,200 he was really expensive, like just putting like more than 3K 781 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,480 in that jacket. I was like quite surprised 782 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:52,800 because he didn't told me the price. 783 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,600 Then as soon as I came out of the shop, then I tried to wear 784 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,400 the jacket. Suddenly that jacket was a 785 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,840 triple XL. So was a long jacket, ugly 786 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,240 jacket. And you can see when I'm working 787 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:06,440 with Ferguson for the first time, when I'm visiting 788 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,320 Carrington, you know the boss is talking to me, but his eyes keep 789 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,560 looking. At the jacket. 790 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,800 And he was like, what the hell? I just did sign. 791 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,120 You know, he wasn't sure about the signing, just about that 792 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,040 jacket. And even my brother, I say I 793 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,960 give if you want that jacket, he say, Patrice, even you pay me, I 794 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,800 won't wear that jacket. And we we're looking for that 795 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,800 jacket because many even some United fund, they want that 796 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,160 jacket to be put in the museum, in the museum. 797 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,280 Ugly jacket. Ugly, ugly jacket. 798 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,120 Yeah. That's my biggest regret. 799 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,840 I. Am I should have said at the 800 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,800 start, like, I don't know if you know, but here when, when we're 801 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,400 school age, like we learn a little bit of French, we do 802 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,320 French as a language. So I I should have asked you to 803 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:51,040 start, if you want to converse in Francais Francais, then by 804 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,440 the problem.

Lot of grammar you know one was 820 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:57,640 speaking also not speaking properly, but Ferguson Ferguson 821 00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,200 have a lot of words in in French because he loved going to France 822 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,320 in South of France especially well when. 823 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,440 You when you signed for Man United, what was your English 824 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,640 like at that point when you first signed I? 825 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:12,080 Was it was bad because I didn't when I stopped school when I was 826 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,360 17, so I didn't learn how to speak English. 827 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,400 And I remember when Rooney talking about when Rooney 828 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,280 correcting me in my English, by the way, he was the first one 829 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,960 saying like Patrice, when you do your interview on Emmy TVI just 830 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:32,840 laugh and I say why he say because you always say you, you. 831 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,920 So you have to understand we mean we, but in French we mean 832 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,360 yes. So when it was the game, I was 833 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,240 instead of saying we had a good game, I say you have a good 834 00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:45,880 game. I think the team you do this. 835 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,800 I couldn't say we when I watched the interview, I was like, 836 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,800 actually you so dumb.

To, to be honest, even my mom 1048 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,360 didn't want me to, to put it in the book. 1049 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,600 And I say, mom, it's, it's not for me. 1050 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,640 You know, I'm, I'm an exception. Like how many people have been 1051 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,880 like, you know, physically abused or sexually abused. 1052 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,440 And that's why I'm a defender of ending the violence against 1053 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,200 children. Because when it happened to 1054 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,480 yourself, you, you don't want to talk about it because you don't 1055 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:45,920 know if people are going to trust you. 1056 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:53,280 You feel shame about yourself, you, you, you also don't know 1057 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,040 about the judgement or people going to. 1058 00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:00,120 And I put it because I was watching a documentary about 1059 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,920 paedophile and I remember my wife was like, if someone do 1060 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,120 that to our children, you know, and my change face, My, my, my, 1061 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:08,920 my, my face, sorry, change face. I'm French. 1062 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,680 My face completely changed. And you have to understand when 1063 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,640 I write my book, my book was about to get released. 1064 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,560 I asked the publisher one one month before my book get 1065 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:21,600 released. I said we need to change 1066 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,360 something. We need to change something 1067 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,320 because that's the first time I open to my wife and the relief I 1068 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,160 had. And you know, sometime I think I 1069 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,560 was tough or or whatever. Like some people, you see me on 1070 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,480 the pitch and never smile like a warrior. 1071 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,640 And I was like, this is because I'm from the street, but 1072 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,560 actually because I got something inside, I was always feeling 1073 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,280 guilty to to never let it out. And I didn't do it for myself. 1074 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,600 And when I did my book, I wasn't making sure I'm being really 1075 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,800 honest and transparent because some people they will, you know, 1076 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,760 write their biography and everything will be will be 1077 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,400 great. Normally I say all the bad 1078 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,440 things I did when I was living in the street. 1079 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,560 What's happening to me because we need to inspire people. 1080 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,760 Do you know the statistic? When I was I was working with 1081 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:08,440 the UN is one of two children gets in any form abuse. 1082 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,960 So you mean like half of this room, half of a football team. 1083 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,320 But we don't talk, we don't talk and that's what is missing. 1084 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,120 And when you see like a big character like myself being 1085 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,880 captain or the France United, whatever, then you don't 1086 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,440 understand how many people I see on the street. 1087 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,240 Patrice, you changed my life. You know, I remember when I was 1088 00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:30,560 in Manchester, I did my book tour and that ladies, I was 1089 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,200 signing some autograph. She look at me, she must have 60 1090 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,600 years old and start crying. It's like, Oh my God, don't cry, 1091 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:38,320 mom. I say why you cry? 1092 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,560 She say, I don't know Mr ever. I feel connected to you. 1093 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,760 And I've got sexually abused by my brother. 1094 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:49,640 But I never say to my mom, to my dad, to my husband, to my 1095 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,000 children. But I just like the first time 1096 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,200 I, and I just heard I say we'll be OK. 1097 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:58,280 So you know, we, we, I love having fun or whatever, but I'm, 1098 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,680 I'm a person. I love every human being. 1099 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,000 And you know, if I can help someone, for me it's a blessing, 1100 00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,960 I think. Because part of like you being 1101 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,080 so popular and such a fans favourite when I know you've 1102 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,280 talked about many times, so forgive me, but when the, the 1103 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,880 Luis Suarez stuff happened, I think that was so difficult to 1104 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,800 watch because it felt like a terrible thing. 1105 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,800 But also because Man United fans, myself included, would, 1106 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,640 would be so defensive of you because you're such a popular 1107 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,200 player. And then I, I just remember, I 1108 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,080 remember at the time thinking that was handled so badly by 1109 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:35,200 everyone apart from you. I think you, it must have taken 1110 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,200 a lot of restraint to be on the same pitch as someone who, who, 1111 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,160 who's done that. And I, I remember just thinking 1112 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,320 you had a lot of class during that. 1113 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,240 I think it was very like, I think Liverpool are great for as 1114 00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:53,240 much as Man United, for great football club was great fans. 1115 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,760 But I remember just feeling so bitter after that. 1116 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,080 I just think that was badly handled. 1117 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:02,000 But you must be proud of the way you acted during that. 1118 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,800 Yeah, I. Really agree with you. 1119 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:08,200 And do you remember I did like one Monday night on Sky and I 1120 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:12,800 play a lot against Jamie Carger? Yeah, before we start, I 1121 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,640 remember the first things he say on live. 1122 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,560 He say, Patrice, whatever, I want to apologise. 1123 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,160 What we did 13 years ago. I was quite surprised. 1124 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,920 I even received a letter of the Unite Liverpool Football Club 1125 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,160 after that show and say, you know, we apologise, you're more 1126 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,000 than welcome. You know, this is your home. 1127 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,720 I was, this will never be my home. 1128 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:38,480 Thank you for the invitation. But I was quite surprised. 1129 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,680 But I'll be honest, people don't know really what's happened. 1130 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,840 I was, I need extra security, 24 hours. 1131 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,120 I received a lot of letter of people in gaol from Liverpool 1132 00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:54,600 saying when we come out, we're going to kill you and the club 1133 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:59,760 take it like really seriously. I have to hold, you know, myself 1134 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,880 also because everyone is watching that game in Liverpool 1135 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,000 against Man United. And when Luis Sarez say this 1136 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,720 word, that's why I say I will never say Luis Sarez is racist 1137 00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:10,760 because I don't know him close enough. 1138 00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:16,280 But he used those word and I was like, I had a voice like just 1139 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,960 like destroy him, punch him and another voice. 1140 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,520 Don't do that. Millions of kids will see you 1141 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,120 and whatever. So he was really tough. 1142 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,200 And after the game, you know, I remember Ferguson, he was like 1143 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:31,200 Patrice, what's the matter? I was just like just wanted to 1144 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,680 go in the Liverpool dressing room, just smashed Suarez. 1145 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:39,400 Then David de Gaya is saying no, Luis Suarez say that to Patrice. 1146 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,960 Then Ferguson say, OK, we go to the official. 1147 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,520 We went to see the referee. We tell him he made a report, 1148 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,480 but I didn't know he will go like this crazy. 1149 00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:52,360 So it was all over the new in, in UK, people were just talking 1150 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,880 about that and whatever. And when I play against Luis 1151 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,480 Suarez, it was more about that Patrice going to shake his hand. 1152 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,080 It was more important than the game. 1153 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:02,720 The handshake was more important than the game. 1154 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,080 I spoke with my mom and you know, in life we never have 8. 1155 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:10,080 I don't have eight in my heart. And she say forgive it. 1156 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,560 And I say, of course. And when I try to shake his hand 1157 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,120 and he still refused, I was like, what a cunt. 1158 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,240 Whatever. Then you know that's French, 1159 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:18,880 right? Yeah. 1160 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,760 A little bit and no, of course. Because that that. 1161 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,520 It was unbelievable. It was like a double. 1162 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,760 Into the he had a. Chance and that's why I think, 1163 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,840 but that's what. I'm saying about your class of 1164 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,680 of offer in your hand, Yeah, like you say, I'm being able to 1165 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,280 forgive it in a way because it wasn't that long after, it 1166 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,560 wasn't like years had passed. That must still be raw for you 1167 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,320 that that happened to. Be honest, where I think I 1168 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,560 nearly ruined everything. And my brother can tell you we 1169 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,200 were in this gate and in Selfridges. 1170 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,640 And when we come up, I was with my two brother who I see Luis 1171 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,920 Suarez and I, I start taking off my watch when I I have to fight. 1172 00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,440 First of all, the first thing if you see me start taking off my 1173 00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:01,640 watch, I mean, I'm going for. Yeah. 1174 00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:06,920 Then I start walking to him and I saw his daughter coming and I 1175 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,400 say like, we never do anything in front of the kids. 1176 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,520 Then we say my brother said no, we can't do anything. 1177 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,880 But I know that day if his daughter wasn't there, imagine 1178 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,000 what will happen. Yeah. 1179 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,600 That's crazy, yeah. And I, I saw a fan, you know, 1180 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,080 because I put it in my book and I saw a fan actually say, 1181 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,880 Patrice, I read your book that day. 1182 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,160 I was in Selfridges. I remember like Suarez was at 1183 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,200 the third floor and I think he said the guys, I was at the 1184 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,040 circle floor. I couldn't believe when I saw 1185 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,160 you because I know also Luis Suarez was there. 1186 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,360 That guy definitely had his phone out ready to make some 1187 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,480 some serious money. I don't know if you have. 1188 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,360 Done them, yeah, but yeah. But at the end, you know, I'm 1189 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,320 glad I didn't do anything. And to be honest, when I play 1190 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,680 for Juventus and it was in the final against Barcelona, I shoot 1191 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,200 the end of Neymar, Messi and juices. 1192 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,000 Suarez, I shook his hand. I don't live with grief. 1193 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,240 Of course, I will never go on holiday with resource, but I 1194 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,560 have no problem if tomorrow I have to play with him, I will 1195 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,560 play with him. I have no no aids. 1196 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,080 Which is admirable because not everybody could could do. 1197 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,560 I know, I know. Some united find they they quite 1198 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,680 being mad when you remember the same years I've got those abuse. 1199 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:20,720 I name him on my best 11, the Premier League, and people was 1200 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,040 like just going mad. I say yes, maybe he say that, 1201 01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,600 but I'm judging about his quality, not about the human 1202 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,400 side. And of course, he was the one of 1203 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,400 the best striker in that time, yeah. 1204 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:34,720 I want to ask you about like all the, all the stuff that you're 1205 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,880 doing now.

When Patrice is feeling a little 1253 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,560 bit fragile from a big night out, what do you like to What's 1254 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,400 the secret to feeling better again? 1255 01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,680 To feeling better again, actually, like the secret is 1256 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,720 just because I love life, you know, I'm just happy. 1257 01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,200 So the the word I hate the most is I'm tired. 1258 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,440 I always say to people I have plenty of time to sleep when I 1259 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:12,240 die. Yeah. 1260 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,800 So even if I say like we are the night out or whatever, I will 1261 01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,280 wake up and I'm already smiling.

I broke my leg and then I came 1286 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:32,680 back. Patrice at the end of last 1287 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,560 season play a few games for Ross Glass County in the Newcastle 1288 01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:41,200 League Division One. I went down and makes it easier 1289 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:45,160 because the but anyway, but I play like six games at the end 1290 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,800 of last season, scored twice. That's that's OK. 1291 01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,320 That's amazing. That's great then, all 1292 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:50,000 different. Positions. 1293 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,440 But anyway, I said to the golfer. 1294 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,000 He said what position do you play? 1295 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,760 I said, what do you need? Me? 1296 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:03,480 But I played six games, two goals go every three games and 1297 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,240 then that was it. So I retired. 1298 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,200 I retired you. Probably heard about it. 1299 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:11,400 But I retired and then recently the feelings come back a bit. 1300 01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:12,960 I went down to watch a couple of games. 1301 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,840 I saw the football on display.

Yeah, Yeah, I'm feeling it 1305 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,240 again. What I'm saying is I'm, I might, 1306 01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,600 you know, I think I like playing like fullback now. 1307 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:34,040 So if you want to come down though, yeah, I could play 1308 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:35,440 midfield.
