Social bait.

But all right, you coming in?

No.

Big sweat it as a kid growing out.

How big was football in your life?

Everything constantly.

Whether that was at school, on break, times straight on that football out in the back garden.

Me, It would've made use anything.

We could have done that.

What did you use waste of a neighbor that went up about what we used to do?

The car garage door.

I think we got moved up from there.

So we went and found a a little row of hedges on a street corner.

And then I remember getting told off at one time from someone who worked Schefter Windsor Academy because we started using the exit doors on the way.

And did it go?

We always a strike when you're playing sort of in the back garden is on the streets.

Yeah, that's that's all you ever wanted to do as a kid.

You want to score goals, you don't want to be one of the crazy goalkeepers.

I mean, most of capers, we know that keeping, you know, wants to stand in, and never when he speaks is a kid.

I'm not gonna have done it.

Done it way.

Get but the cut line around it.

Like in training just for you.

It's not something I want to do on a regular.

Let's in a pope, right?

It is what it is.

You're serving drinks.

Get a few drinks bought for you for free.

So I put on my ticket.

Make sure you have.

No, it was it was all right.

And then you have making crutches or Yeah, I went.

And when I worked in a factory, which was basically a company that did stuff the hospitals all over the country in the world, then we used to make carbon fiber splints for people suffered with drop foot.

It's good knowing that you're helping people.

Like I said, the long hours in the stuff that involved is absolutely I get for myself.

Is that visit because that's what the manual stuff is well involved in their problems.

It injuries things on my butt was hanging off.

Yeah, little iwas.

That's one of the reasons why I literally I understood.

What I can't do this anymore.

I'm just gonna gonna concentrate on football for for a year.

just take my foot more wage and and see what it got me.

And luckily enough, I think I left left on the Wednesday thinking first sign for Fleetwood when you went to flee with did you immediately know it's a massive step up or you just comfortable straightaway in the environment?

Not did.

I didn't know it was gonna be a big step up if I'm being honest.

I remember I got a phone call off from agent at the time.

He was like, What do you know about Fleetwood Town?

I said nothing.

You need to do the research.

They looked up where it wasthe.

What What Leave complaining.

When I met the chairman and the manager at the time on the Thursday afternoon, signs got told that I'd be in the squad because we had a game on the Friday that I'd be on the bench and then turned up a nudist are, by the way, we just thought that, you know, you start and told.

Okay?

Just thrown a shoe at the data.

No, it was fine.

When you're playing at Halifax in Fleetwood is everyone mind if you always got that belief that you're gonna one day become a primitive footballer, or does it seem a long way off at that stage in your career to think about it?

Think about it, really, when you get a lot of goals.

With that in mind, when I was at stocks, but it was just playing with mates, enjoying myself and then sign for Halifax in the dressing room was exactly the same.

So it was literally just let you play with your mates again.

Everyone's having a laugh That goes from all the time for Fleetwood.

Same Justin room again.

I've been looking where I had really good dressing rooms.

Everywhere you go, there's never been any anybody eggs in it.

Everyone's always been being enjoying themselves.

Me person, I think when you are enjoying yourself, that's when you play your best football anyway.

So to have that all the way through is being unbelievable.

Initiations at those clubs plate was Halifax never to be?

Oh, when you went to Lester, never left.

Touched it.

Wait.

I mean, if you if you ask a few of the like this, there's a few resume, if not seem not anywhere.

We're just going to point a mike and probably don't go out 15 years ago to solve Sing anything?

Really?

I wanna talk to you about as well.

When he first went to Lester, what was it like to get that phone call was obviously was a massive move of the time.

You just shocked and surprised.

I didn't see it coming.

I didn't see the Lester signing.

Could you not know?

That was definitely on the move course the last game of the season finished with Fleetwood chairman.

Just come around to me and basically just said our thanks for everything you've done, but yeah, we'll be selling over the summer soft.

Okay, but not when it came around out.

Come and visit.

Unless there visited a couple over clubs.

Well, but one side being here, then obviously, you could see where the facilities and everything that we've got.

Fathers there were.

There was only one place I was gonna go.

I did hear a story about after your first season that you went to this some of the staff and went on interest in becoming, and I'd be for rep.

Is there any truth behind it?

No, I think that was when I was a reflection it was Hal.

If I'm right, I think there's a video out.

Anyway, when I that was lost during the seasons are basically just said I'm gonna go inside for the beef its own way.

Could have seen Benny for Jamie rather than family.

You never know.

Even greater.

I got you involved.

People talk about the that the adoption period between the championship in the primary Been a massive step up the big step up for you there.

Yeah, it was.

I think it was a big step up for the majority of his bought.

It managed to all click eventually and had a big way.

So called great escape on then the season after.

Obviously you go on the 11 gang consecutive Gold Square and run.

Just talk to us about your feelings.

I won't even think about it all.

Really?

It was so strange.

Like kept getting mentioned.

Marriage.

I was just going into each game.

Just obviously Wantinto help the team I didn't scored and that didn't matter it with more about less than picking up the points.

They just kept going and going.

I mean, the luds I'm about did a little good luck message like video for my new game.

So, David Forman, you gotta write that on the TV.

Oh, really?

Is actually quite a big thing.

Like, I was fortunate enough to obviously score against money to make it 11 and it was a really big, big achievement.

And, of course, that season winning the primitive still one of the greatest essay in sports stories, Leicester winning the paramedic that season.

What time did you start believing that?

You know we can win this because I remember vividly.

Every time the manager of the players were interviewed, it was it was just next game next game, next game.

And it was like they would never talk about winning the probably because they don't wanna jinx.

At what point did you start thinking?

You know what is a very good chance we're gonna lift this truck?

You know, I think that was the right mentality.

Taken each game.

Is it Coleman?

Like you say, the results kept commended.

But for me personally, it was played months it away 131 And after that, I was like, now this disc in really?

Because of the points?

Because you beat Man city.

I think it is more just because we've turned up toe There's a man sitting on their own patch in and be himself.

Yeah, that's when I personally for it.

It could happen.

And we just kept going after that.

There was no no letting often, but he said one of if not the biggest achievement so ever happened, happened test about that night when you knew that you'd want the family.

Yeah, just a you know.

Well, that know it no more.

Know what I just did A seven hour tops.

Let's start with the day, huh?

I think most of the lads turned up at my house before I did.

Wow.

So they were already in there.

It got got obviously talking and being too.

Look, you just looking around you like it just looked out with Just don't come around for a little drink here.

Everyone's at training tomorrow, right?

But then the first goal went in.

I mean, I think I did a somersault into Say, do Ludzik get in, obviously a bit.

Get in.

Then the 2nd 1 goes in and everyone's just raw.

It's people getting dragged around the kitchen bythe Marsten Vasilescu.

Is there a new ad Admit where you just coming up to me?

Just slapping You Just leave me alone for two minutes.

I think I was just starting the floor for most of it.

Just make sure that angle of the year and then full time whistle when obviously you've seen the celebrations on the video is really good.

Literally five minutes after that, the whole hot atmosphere just changed.

Really?

And you have people out in the garden just second, a few minutes theirselves, I think.

Similar at the time, he was constantly pacing around the hole outside of the house.

You just didn't really know what So here, what to say to anyone at that point, but knows it was a great night.

I just wanted to talk to you about your celebrations because I don't want to see you celebrate in front a rival fans giving it the your crystal palace is not something you plan to do.

Or do you just love to wind them up?

It's never fun, never planned on whatever's going from head at that moment in time.

But now the Crystal Palace one was, oh, five minutes before I was getting a lot step Yeah, obviously getting that second gold that we needed cemented the winning just hanging from that man.

And I don't do an eagle celebration.

I don't think it went out to you.

Well, book, it's, you know, it's not something I'm really bothered about.

Then that's football.

It's and so you're gonna get stick off funds.

If you're getting stick, then I think they need to be able to take it.

But you wake up in the morning, Fred Streetwise straightly.

I'll bet.

Get the kids up, go downstairs, get them to breakfast sword, and I'm straight into the red bulb of what's next.

After that, I'll get to the truth.

We meet at the stadium for pretty much get to the stadium while I'm getting changed.

Probably coffee, right, a lot of caffeine and says that it's better than taking problems on it.

Sure, it's a lot easier.

So rebel coffee, and then when we get over to that pretty much launch its mouth cheese, and I'm on with another kind of Red Bull.

How's your stomach doing this dreadful, dreadful coffee?

You know, when you don't get that many years, I think it just it.

It's not an issue whatsoever.

That's every single match you have.

Everything I'm like.

Wow.

And many other places.

Everybody.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I just want things.

He's not gonna wait for anyone put away running of the time.

I think it's helped me throughout my whole.

I mean, to be fair, I've probably cut back because I'm only on a little kind of rebel.

Now, where this before, when I wasn't Fleetwood had the big Must've kinds of monster.

So you're one of them used to you?

Wow.

Is there any sort of mindset change where I read that you've got a cryo chamber at home and things like that?

Is that playing Maur into your mind now, prolonging your career?

Yeah, definitely.

Like to report a crime for the chamber of the house.

Well, I've got one here is much easier trade and go going cryo.

And then you can just relax, obviously with the family.

What is next for you?

In terms of ambition, you've achieved so much playing Fring and winning the Premier League.

Do you have any more future ambitions intended?

The rest of you?

You know, I've never being one toe, so look at it like that I'm just being one of them.

You take each day as they come.

You want to give 100% play to your best, and you obviously see what happens.
