I can't count.

But if there's anyone watching who I haven't replied to yet, I'm sorry.

But it takes ages.

Chris is someone who I've looked up to massively as a person.

He's got humility and class, the way he manages his group.

I don't think anyone has a bad word to say about how he is as a person, which is important to me.

And he's someone who I've taken a lot from and tried to develop in my own way, the way that I manage a group.

Some of my players are too young for that.

Through the years, for me, there was a player, I actually came here on trial, I was 17, and I was lucky enough to train with Gianfranco Zola.

And that was like, I was in awe of him.

And he trained and he did something.

Player was moving this way and he just stood still, received the ball and twisted and turned.

And I was 17, I was playing right back on the other side of the pitch.

And he was, I think he was a genius.

But I remember coming with my uncle, Sean.

He's a massive Chelsea fan and you can't believe it, but he took me to Stamford Bridge.

I'll never forget it.

Marcel Desailly, Torre Andre Flo, Frank Le Boeuf.

It was the beginning of that era when I was like 17, 18.
