James Milner

Come over, I was like, no.

Come over a second time and he came over a third time.

What was he saying?

He wanted us to come over and what he wanted to do, he didn't know at this time, but he said, I want everyone on the dance floor.

Was he dancing as well?

Yeah, he was having a dance at that time, but he wanted us over to do what he did after that, which I'll tell you.

And he was like, he'd come over the third time, he was like, I'm your f***ing manager, get your arse over, basically.

And we went over, I'm like, f*** sake.

We've gone over and he starts, gives a speech and he was like, basically saying, this isn't,

this is the start of the journey, basically.

Look what we've achieved this year.

We've only just come in and, you know, basically, this is it.

We're on a start here.

Look what we've achieved and what he envisioned after that and what happened.

But he was basically saying, look what we've achieved here and we haven't even started.

And then he had us all singing We Are Liverpool.

and like obviously he's had a couple of drinks a few of the others aren't and it's like I don't drink so it's like obviously it makes it a bit easier for them but then you see his vision after and again that was probably the moment where two finals didn't win either but he saw the bigger picture and he thought we hadn't even started it yet guys

Yeah, it was an amazing time, I think.

you know, being in the academy and then you're seeing the likes of those guys come through.

I remember Alan Smith scoring with his first touch at Anfield and, you know, he was my hero, you know, growing up then at that point.
