So I haven't been given a script for this, though.

Go on then.

Opening day of the season, how ready were you?

Pre-season.

What is pre-season actually like?

Was it basically, in those days,

Run, run, run and make sure you don't get beat by the fat goalkeepers.

Yeah, exactly.

In the old days though, was it very different?

I mean, myself, I always managed to maintain my weight.

It never changed.

But did you ever see anybody come back way over?

How much did you look forward, though, to the opening day of the season?

Was it one of those, you couldn't wait to get it out of your system?

After all the preparation, the weeks and weeks, just get out and play.

The other thing for new signings, no matter what level, I mean obviously we see Harry Maguire today amongst others as new signings,

is it must be quite nerve-wracking for them as well.

It's almost like a first day at a new school.

What's that like when you're in training, new signing arrives, it's all very welcome, hello lads, hello lads chat, then there's that first training session and they'll either miss...

a good chance or something, and there's always that shout of, how much?
