Episode 12 - Didier Agathe

So you mentioned about the manager, he's a special guy too.

Yes.

So when I arrive and, you know, you're in the dressing room, a longer player has...

Lawson, Sutton, Thomas signed the same day as myself.

Then Big John.

I come from nowhere.

So

I needed to prove myself.

And I remember, because when I signed for Celtic, this game when I played against Dundee, I pulled my arm string.

So I arrived in Celtic and German.

After that, Martin said, like, okay, you can train with the reserve until you come back.

So I met Eyal Berkovic.

He wasn't playing, so he was playing with the reserve also.

And he said to me, you will never play for the first year.

I wanted to prove him wrong.

Was Ayo Berkovic, was he in the reserves at that time as well playing or was he out injured and coming back?

Yeah, because he wasn't, Martin didn't use him from the first team.

Yes.

He was not the player like in the squad player.

Martin probably don't like the style of, I don't know.

Yes, fair enough.

but he didn't know I was injured so he said like it'd be difficult for you to be in the first team yes but my chance came because we went to Belfast for Charity game because Martin came from there and Jackie was injured so I had my chance to be like start in the first team against St. Milan again okay

yeah

so I was man of the match and I stayed in the team

yeah so when Martin's came to sign you He's have thrashed out the deal.
