There was an ex-colleague of mine went and took up a position with NTU, and he used to do a sort of a media course there, and he actually brought a couple of his students, in fact, a whole group of students, across to London a couple of times, and I would go and do a little talk with them and talk about what I do at the Premier League and, and show them the ropes.
