Are you doing that?
I was driving past this.
LAUGHTER
on his way home.
My point is that you'd hear about, you know, and I knew because I was playing with England, there were a group of players at Liverpool, there was a big drinking culture and maybe there was a United dressing room a little bit, but I felt like it was a lot more under control, particularly the young lads.
Am I right to say that if Robbie had been in that Alex Ferguson dressing room, he would have been sort of like at 300 goals in the Premier League and he'd have been completely different?
I think he would have been.
But we know the influence of alcohol now, don't we, on performance more than we did then.
Yes, but back then everybody was doing it.
I genuinely think in that first four or five, six years that we came into the team and we were winning, I genuinely believe, obviously there was a talent, obviously, and we had good players, but I genuinely believe there was a fitness thing.
Absolutely.
That other clubs were still carrying on drinking and weren't quite at that level.
But then who took it further was Wenger when Wenger came.
Who's the best player that you ever played with at Liverpool?
that was the same evening there was no big shouting going on in the dressing room before the game but it's interesting when you go with England and like Stuart Pearce was in the dressing room or Tony Adams and you love experience they were screaming like absolute crazy Don did you find that as well with England it was a very different dressing room
Well, Terry Butcher was.
Just talk to us a little bit about Sir Kenny.
Obviously, we had him on the show a couple of months back about his influence, obviously, as a player, manager, but also in terms of just generally his leadership as a coach.
You said before you're a scouser and obviously you were born in Jamaica, you obviously...
live in London live in London but I mean Liverpool more than everyone but then you basically sort of see yourself as a scout is that just the way in which the city grips you when you obviously play for Liverpool well you know it's really interesting because as much as I told you about my life in Jamaica but I've always you know football is a working class sport yeah
