the speed that footballers travel at, and I believe it nominated Murphy as being one of the top ten fastest footballers on the planet.
He's got that as a little badge on his lapel, and now he's got...
The best crosser of the ball in the world on his lapel.
It's a little bit hyperbolic, isn't it?
But it does get the attention on the news agenda.
There's a lot of noise out there.
And anything that you can do if you're a professional, and I believe George Ellick is a professional.
He is a podcaster.
His podcast is sponsored by a very powerful magazine, I believe, in America called The Athletic.
How much they sponsor him for?
Obviously, that's his business.
He's a young man.
and he makes waves and he makes people sit up and listen.
So Josh Murphy, one of the fastest players in world football, and now one of the best, if not the best, crosser of the ball in world football.
And as George rightly points out, with what should be his wrong foot.
But a lot of professional footballers nowadays have got two feet.
Surely you have to.
I do see some players just bringing it round to their favoured foot and it's annoying because all you've got to do is practice hard with your wrong foot.
I see players sometimes making tackles, trying to block crosses with their wrong foot and block shots with their wrong foot.
And that wrong foot doesn't extend quite as far as the foot that you should be using.
