Well, I'm an East End boy. So I'm from the East End of London. And obviously I started actually at Tottenham's Academy and Arsenal's Academy as a young kid. Ah.

Yeah, West Ham wanted me to go down and train with them, but obviously at that point I was having to decide between Arsenal and Tottenham. My grandfather was a season ticket holder for 50 years at Spurs at Tottenham, so I decided to go with Tottenham. So I spent a couple of years training at Tottenham until I was 12 years old, and then Manchester United noticed me down in London.

They invited me up to Manchester and that's when it all started and I moved up to Manchester when I was 15.

In the world. I think the English have always had that mentality of build someone up, knock them down and then watch them get out of that again. And once they get out of that, there's a lot more respect there. But I think, you know, I made a mistake in 1998 with the red card and I owned up to that mistake.

And then I had to spend the next three or four years trying to get through these games and the seasons and the abuse that I was getting. But I think, you know, to your point, Sean, that... I think one of the things that came out of the documentary is the fact that, you know, everyone in America remembers me playing for the Galaxy.

They remember me playing for my country and also other teams that I played for, but they didn't know the story of what I'd gone through. So every time that I'm in Miami or LA or New York or somewhere in the US, people come up to me and were like, we didn't know that story. Like, just like you've said. And I suppose for a lot of people, the documentary was a reminder of,

Well, one of my, you know, and I talk about it in a documentary, after the World Cup, the place where I went was New York because Victoria was there with the Spice Girls and she was on tour and my escape was New York. So I thought, you know, no one really kind of knew me in the US at that point. They kind of knew who I was. Some soccer fans knew who I was, but actually me... Because of MLS, right?
