So imagine that, from the boy who played in Scotland, worked in Tesco or whichever supermarket,
And nobody had real, real hopes anymore for him to be the best left-back in the world.
That's a nice journey, and being part of it was a pure pleasure, because then we saw the real Robbo, then we saw this confident, cheeky young man.
Everybody loves him in the team, he's a leader in his own way, he's now captain of Scotland, we'll see him at the World Cup, can't wait.
That's the best thing about my time now, when I speak to the boys or when I see them or when I see a game, I'm so proud of them, of what they've achieved, and I know where they came from.
So I know the first day at Liverpool for some of them, most of them actually, and now we'll see, maybe the last day or not, I'm not sure exactly what Robbo will do next season,
Having such an impact for such a long time makes you a really special player in the club's history, and not to forget this club has more history than most clubs, so it's so difficult to make that kind of impression.
When people think about a left-back, and you would probably ask today who is the best left-back in the history of Liverpool, and people would say, and I don't know the others,
To be honest, Nico?
Yeah, I think so as well, and that's really special.
And when you know how the family bought into that, how proud the parents are and were and stuff like that,
I mean, Matty McCann, one of my best friends for life, is very close with family Robertson, so I know a lot about that.
And now the same journey, if you want, with Scotland, which is super special, qualifying for the World Cup, showing how they're playing Brazil, playing Ali, hopefully.
Nobody could have imagined that.
that day in my living room in Formby, that it will work out like that.
You hope, but you...
You don't dare to dream that big.
You think, ah, come on.
It's good.
Really good.
