Uh, the following season then, when City come in to try and sign you, is that, like, was that, was that a weird feeling for you?

Um, it was.

I mean, there's quite a lot of clubs, you know, um, sort of like, there was a lot of clubs ringing up and making inquiries for me, um, at the time.

Um, I was traveling up to, down to Portsmouth to speak to Tony Pulis at Portsmouth, and then I was getting in the car and driving back, and I had Hearts on the phone and had Spurs on the phone as well.

Uh, David Pleat was on the phone because George Graham was manager at the time, and they put a bid in for me.

Um, and it was just like, because, because City had been, like, after me for a little while.

They put three or four bids in beforehand.

What, what were those conversations about?
