Joe Fagan, his assistant manager, was everyone's favourite uncle.
If you had issues, not just football ones, but anything that was a problem in your life outside of football, he was a go-to man.
His knowledge of football was second to none.
And then Ronnie Moran was a younger man.
I went to his funeral four years ago.
And I came away three, four years ago.
And I came away, I had my son James with me.
We were about 16 at the time.
I said, you know, thinking about it is, you know, he's the single biggest influence on my career.
And my son started to ask me why that was.
Can you hear this music in the background?
No, no.
It's my wife downstairs doing her classes.
Oh, what's she been doing?
Oh, Pilates and yoga.
And she's had some weights delivered, which I've struggled to pick up, so... No, I've never won an argument with her, but I won't be winning one any time soon.
So, Rony Moran was an individual who, you know, kept us all on our toes.
You know, there was no watershed moment where he says, do this in the game or that in the game, where...
I thought, wow, that improved my game.
It was all about just keeping us on our toes, reminding us that, yeah, you're good players, but you're not like the players you've had here in the past.
