He looks like he's in good form.
lots of villa fans have been getting in uh to say thank you so much for all the hard work and and your life at aston villa i mean it's one of those things isn't it when you talk to our guests and they have a boyhood club and a boyhood club that they then go on to pull on the clown blue or the shirt that whatever it might be and you've always talked about the fact i'm reading your book um there's some really lovely quotes from you but whenever your friends used to say to you what is it like wearing that villa shirt you just said it always felt incredible yeah
So is there a sense then, are you saying that when you get into that moment where you're about to score... We get more like that every day!
But that was when he was playing.
When you get into that moment to score, you aren't actually conscious of what you're doing, you've literally just let your body take over, it's instincts.
Who do?
But a lot of pressure as well, because I'd imagine that you sort of 1-0 down or whatever with 10 minutes to go, and everyone's like, do I score?
Because then we know we're going to win, we'll be all right, or we know we're not going to lose.
My brother has texted me this morning because he's a big Aston Villa fan, absolutely loves it, and he wants to know who was the best player you played with at Villa.
The move away from Villa is something that still sort of stings a little bit for you now.
You mentioned moving to City, which was a great move in the end, but how difficult is it for a player, when it's your hometown club, it's where you're happy, it's where your roots are, to suddenly be told, you know what?
were sending you away, and actually David O'Leary at the time was quite critical.
I think he mentioned that he felt like you'd gone stale, which must have been really hard to hear.
Yeah, who again was one of the players that you sort of put down as, I mean there is a picture of the two of you there, one of the players that you put down as a guy that you really looked up to and what a great opportunity.
We asked you, when you came in, of the 265 Premier League games you played, whether you had a favourite one, and your favourite one that you said to us was Villa playing Manchester City.
So we thought we'd have a look back at it, because it was a great game for you.
These are the starting line-ups on the day.
Of course, there you are, alongside Andrew Cole up front.
David Jays in goal.
And then this is the Villa side that you just left.
