What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello everyone. I hope you're all okay. I've assembled a motley crew of talent here to talk football and whatever else at this strange time. So who have we got? We've got Jamie Redknapp. Introduce yourself, Jamie.
I'm Jamie Redknapp. I was born in Barton-on-Sea. I'm 40 years of age.
46. What do you want to know? Alan Smith is here as well.
Yeah. My name's Alan Smith. I am not an alcoholic. Not yet, anyway.
And we've also got a masterpiece and Graeme Souness in the same room. Look at that piece of art, Graeme. Did it myself. It looks like it.
How are you? You keeping well? Graham Sunnest, the oldest member and most sensible member of the group. Very well. Very well. Just been out for my walk along the beach. Did you see Harry? No. I never see... I see Harry pass occasionally in his car, but... I never see him exercising. I think he stays to the peninsula, doesn't he?
Yeah.
So, is that beach quite crowded, Graham? Erm... No. And everyone's being sensible. I tell you what I did see just on the way home was a random police check pulling people over.
You've got to be careful then Alan, it's your daughter's birthday today so it's quite nice that you're at home to celebrate but it must just feel, it just feels weird doesn't it right now?
It does, it does. Making the best of it, though, mate. It's nice we've got all our family together rather than dotted about. She's putting on boot camps every night. She's got the five stations out there putting us through it. So, you know, keeping fit.
I was just going to say, that's been a great thing that's come about from this. the people are pulling together and there's guys doing different stuff. Like Joe Wicks, David, I was just talking about it, what Joe Wicks is doing, getting kids up early, doing training sessions and things like that. The community is really coming together because this is the biggest level that we've ever had to go through. And I think it's been amazing how people are pulling together in this difficult time.
You've got to do something positive. I think if you come out of it and you've got an extra... You know, string to your bow, like, I've said I'm going to learn Spanish. Whether that happens or not, we'll wait and see.
So you're still hoping for a move, Spudge?
You're still hoping for a move to Spain? Yeah.
Good will come out of it. Good will come out of it. People make this really important in life. What's really important in life after this.
Well, I suppose that's what we've been thinking about. And it's like a time for reflection. And we're going to have a few of these conversations, I guess, over the next few weeks and months. I've been doing a lot of reflection. Like you say, Smudge, you've got to try and think of something else to occupy your brain. Can you come out of it with a different skill set? We want to put a few ideas out there, get a few different subjects of conversation. So how about this for a starter? Unfulfilled talent. Graham, what do you... A nice positive one. Yeah, exactly. But, you know, like we're talking about, it's time for reflection, isn't it? Could I have made the most of everything that I've done? I know that I probably feel I haven't in certain areas of my life.
Graham, what do you think of when I say those words?
Personally? Yeah. I think I got the most out of myself as a player. Yeah. Could I have been a better professional? No, not for the last seven years of my career, I don't think. Could I have been more dedicated? No, I don't think I could. Did I work hard enough in games and in training? I gave everything into management. I think if I had my time again, I'd be quite a different manager if I had my chance again. In what way? I'd be less aggressive, less harsh, less demanding on people. Later in my career, I realised that not everyone has the same attitude as I had to the game. Some people are a little bit more relaxed about it. I used to get extremely frustrated by people who didn't appear to have that win-at-all-cost mentality.
And I would follow up with people over that. Maybe Jimmy. I think Jimmy would have been the sum of that when we worked together when I was at Liverpool as a manager.
