3.715 - 26.443 Gerard

Well, 44? Yeah. 44? Look, I'm fine with it. People say, straightaway people say, oh, ruin your legacy. I've never bought into any of that sort of chat that if I'm a sports person, that's what I do.

26.463 - 39.938 Gerard

Chapter 4: How does the public perceive the return of retired sports icons?

80.037 - 93.15 Gerard

You know what I mean? Like it's not, if the box has been a great champion of the past and they come back, you know, six and seven years in retirement, you just sort of roll your eyes. Why are you doing that? But each to their own. So now I'm, I'm playing on that one.
