If we would have come into any other team, apart from the team that they had, I reckon Scorsese might have made it.
I might have made it somewhere else.
Ryan was there anyway.
Becks would have made it probably somewhere else.
We'd have never all come through because...
We was a really good youth team.
We won every time we played, so we're not saying we wasn't.
But to break into a first team,
one person you have to have good people there around you four or five was broken they were like they were like they were like not only gods as footballers but really really good blokes that looked after you all the time i mean to the point where you nearly think literally i don't want to play football ever again yeah the next day if you've got an issue to have your arm around you they'd look after you
You go to a bar or somewhere, have a go at you, everyone's together.
I'm not condoning that.
Everyone was together.
It was like the Man United Ireland and no one fucks with any of you.
That's what helped us.
after that you're going through that process how many times have you missed kicked the ball then well exactly you know what never ever it's brilliant practice as well we used to think should we go on to our parents and go oh I'm in the squad next week I'm in the squad Saturday Dad's thinking I've made it we wasn't in the squad we was getting the fishing chips we was cleaning the kit up warming Pete up I remember seeing I remember trying to clip it to Pete
I was more nervous warming Pete up than I was in the Champions League final.
And I remember the fans on the side, the away fans, I can't remember what game it was, I remember they put about three in and he's gone, he's mad at me.
And the fans are next to me, because you're on the wing, if you like, and the fans have gone, hey you, you little ginger dick.
You better not mess this one up and have literally shaking feet.
And you click one in.
