Adrian HealeyHost
And Nick, when you told me a few weeks ago you were lining up David Platt to be a guest on our podcast, I immediately started thinking of that infamous night in Turin and David Platt turning and volleying a goal for England against Belgium in World Cup 1990, [laughs] and all the exploits for Aston Villa.
But that's where you, where you halted me in my tracks, said, "No, not that David Platt, a different David Platt." So who's the David Platt we're talking to today, Nick, 'cause I know you know him very well.
So David Platt that we're talking to today dreams about scoring that goal in Turin.
And, uh, unfortunately he tears his hamstring while he does it, so, uh, that never happened.
We're distantly related and he has come over here to the United States and worked some of my soccer camps in the past, and had a, a very, very interesting career.
