Phil Brown.

Yeah, I've gone with, um, Phil Brown, the manager of Hull, and specifically when he did that team talk on the pitch.
64:18
Um, I think we all dream of being a Premier League footballer, and a big part obviously is to, to play, you know, Premier League football and play in front of these crowds.
64:30
But another big part of it is when you hear about legends talk about like the dressing room and what happened in the dressing room.
64:37

38:20
Yeah, I mean, the best I've ever seen in an England kit, the best English player I've ever seen, the best Premier League player I've ever seen.

49:07
you anyway.
49:08
Yeah, sorry for the interruption.
49:10
See you above.
49:14
Yeah, I was in full flow there, so you've really interrupted that, to be honest.
49:19
Max kind of put me off.
49:23
Yeah, the post-match apology, I think, is...
