Look at the kids now on social media and you can look at influencers who we will say, what's an influencer?
Because you have followers and you do nothing?
But this is modern life, you've got to get used to it.
A shitload of money back then.
Let me kick off 900,000, that's all.
And Peter Berger was the highest transfer, 1.7 million.
However, yes, there was the nerves, obviously, because I'm the first black player as well, apart from Harry Gale, that comes in.
But however, I'd had six years of performing.
Now, had I come after one year, that's why I look at Theo Walcott as an example and say, I feel sorry for Theo, because Theo at 16, got in the Arsenal team, then he goes to the World Cup.
So imagine the pressure on Theo Walcott, whereas I had six years.
I mean, the goal is scored against Brazil, I don't know the three years at Watford.
Mm-hmm.
More than that.
In fact, I don't know, four years.
So that happens now.
You're going to get a transfer.
World Cup 86, I don't know, two, three years.
So I was able to handle that pressure because... And I remember Graham Taylor saying to me, listen, don't worry about what people say, how good you are, how bad you are.
Yeah?
You just listen to us and you do what you do and have the humility to understand that how fickle this world is where people are going to say you're great.
