Off Script: Unfulfilled potential

29 Mar 2020

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.487 - 14.106 David Jones

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.

15.108 - 19.494 Jamie Redknapp

I'm Jamie Redknapp. I was born in Barton-on-Sea. I'm 40 years of age.

20.115 - 25.903 Unknown

46. What do you want to know? Alan Smith is here as well.

0

27.588 - 34.218 Alan Smith

Yeah. My name's Alan Smith. I am not an alcoholic. Not yet, anyway.

34.658 - 46.576 David Jones

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.

49.62 - 70.082 Graeme Souness

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?

70.682 - 70.963 Jamie Redknapp

Yeah.

71.804 - 84.236 Graeme Souness

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.

86.42 - 96.66 David Jones

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?

Chapter 2: How do the guests reflect on their own careers and unfulfilled potential?

615.341 - 616.022 Unknown

Yeah.

616.424 - 620.168 Jamie Redknapp

Ronnie Moran was a great coach. I mean, he was tough as day come.

0

621.049 - 640.348 David Jones

But did he have empathy, Jamie? Ronnie Moran? Sorry? Did he have empathy? I think that's what Graham's sort of alluding to, probably, that, you know, he had that will to win. But perhaps, Graham, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but you maybe lacked a bit of empathy towards those who didn't see the game the same way that you did? Sorry, is that for me, Dave?

0

640.729 - 649.152 David Jones

Well, yeah, but it was... Yeah, you can comment on that. No, you're talking about running around. About you as a manager.

0

650.174 - 675.848 Graeme Souness

Oh, yeah, yeah. Listen, I learned all my stuff off, what, Liverpool. You know, that's where, you know, when I went into management, I tried to... copy as much as I could from what they would do. But, you know, the obvious thing I never had, in any job I managed, was the kind of players that Liverpool always had. I mean, I inherited the Liverpool team. They were still a very good team.

675.868 - 694.635 Graeme Souness

I'd been on a show for a couple of years and we're definitely on the way down. My problem with that is it changed too much. But we're getting away from the subject. You know, people who haven't fulfilled their potential, I knew we were going to talk about this and I knew Smudgy was going to come on the programme. What about Ozil? Will Ozil finish?

694.655 - 705.106 Graeme Souness

I think the question is about who, when you finish your career, I know Jamie got his knee injury, so he'll think he didn't fulfil his potential. But that's unavoidable, what happened to him.

705.566 - 718.96 Graeme Souness

But for someone like Ozil Smudge, Jamie, do you think when he finishes two years' time, three years' time, four years' time, he'll look back on his career and say, I did everything I did to give myself the best chance of being successful?

720.965 - 729.048 Alan Smith

Difficult, isn't it? I don't know him as a lad. I don't know what he's like in training. I would imagine he's pretty similar to what he's like on a match day.
