well, I was a Warriors groupie, and because I knew Stacey Jones and a few of the players, I got to meet a very charismatic man who at the time was their CEO, Mick Watson.
4:09
Now, Mick was thought outside the square.
4:13
He wasn't loved by all, but he had a special approach to promotion.
4:19

4:25

32:48

2:34
... what made you do it? What made you do it?
2:38
I'd had the little, um, idea of the guitar starting and then the hip hop beat dropping in on top of that and meshing with it and creating a rh- what I thought was a really irresistible rhythm.
2:50
And then so I thought, "Okay, we just need some, you know, lyrics." And then we've got the ooh, ah chorus, which is irresistible.

Bloody Alfie Langer scored that last minute try, otherwise we would've had the greatest ever start to a brand new club.

We would've got a, we would've beaten the Broncos.

But no, I've been, I've been there ever since.

I grew up, I grew up on union.
6:14

6:17
Well, at the time, the Warriors CEO was an amazing character called Mick Watson.
6:28
Yeah.
6:29
Yeah.
6:30
