I did, I thought it was the right thing to do, was to ring Sir Alex.

And?

So I rang him and there was no answer.

So I thought, I have to speak to him.

I rang him again, there was no answer.

So I thought, a third time I have to leave.

I think he must have had an income.

Otherwise he'd been answering me.

Otherwise he would have answered the phone, yeah.

No, I rang him.

I rang him, and I let it ring, and ring, and ring, and there's no answer.

I rang him again, I let it ring, and ring, and ring, no answer.

So I thought the third time, and then it went on to answer four, and I thought, I have to leave a message, and it was like, and I thought, can you call me back?

I'm sorry for it.

No, no, there was no sorry, I just left a message and said, this is the situation, I thought it was the right thing, I'd speak to you, so if you would like to ring me back, and guess what?

He never did.

He never rang me back.

I think when you go through that particular football club, Liverpool, and you look at the greats that have played there, and whenever you go through the lists, you will always get Steven Gerrard mentioned.

I think that sort of tells you how good he is.

To be associated with the greats of that great club, then you have to be something very special.
