Have you got any mad stitches
on any of your shoes or like, 'cause, you know,
you see Jordan Pickford get the rave on
on the side of his.
You getting any mad ones on for the Euros or anything?
I don't think I'll get anything that's a bit crazy
on the sides for the Euros,
but maybe, who knows? Let's wait and see.
You're not saying, like, a little bit of a Rice Rice baby
on the side or anything like that.
Yeah. You know what?
That could work. Rice Rice, baby.
That would be a classic, to be fair.
That's a good one.
How are we lads?
I'm Joe Gilmore and this is Drip Locker on SPORTbible.
Today we've got Declan Rice.
What's happening Dec, lad, you all right?
You alright mate, you good?
Yeah. I'm all good mate.
Now, I've heard you've got a hoard of class football boots.
So what's the oldest pair that you own?
These are the first ever Predators ever made.
Like, the old box, 1994 Predators.
The old tags on, everything.
Jeez, brand new with tags as well.
Brand new with tags, mate.
It's unbelievable.
Got the old Predator sign, like everything
about them. Like the tags, like, just the box,
the stuff it- like, the little booklet it come in.
Like, everything about it is what I love.
Like just, I could never wear 'em, to be fair.
I could never wear 'em.
I don't even think I could ever put these on for training.
I think these have just got to stay with me forever.
So if we move away from them,
now let's talk about any crazy boots you have.
What would you say is the loudest pair of boots
that you own?
Like, you know the ones you get the most stick for
from the lads.
It's the Accelerator, the Gold Accelerator.
I've actually got two pairs of these.
Wow.
One pair that I actually wear, one pair that's fresh, tags.
But yeah the lads just say to me, "You can't wear gold
boots. You can't wear this, you can't wear that."
I feel like I can hear them through the bloody Zoom,
like, they are loud.
Yeah, they're proper loud them.
When we walk out to train, everyone stands on like the corner
waiting for the fitness coach to take us off.
If I've got a new pair on, I'll walk out
and all the lads would just be staring down at my foot,
going, 'Oh yeah, they're nice.' Or,
'Nah, not for me, them.' Or, 'Yeah, they're decent.'
What about Moyesey?
Does he wear any flashy boots or does he just bog-standard
all blacks?
Nah, he's all black, black and white Copas,
with the rubber- the rubber sole plate.
He has great banter, to be fair.
Like, if I'm uncomfortable in a boot and I'll change
my boots like halfway through training, he'll go,
"You can't get your footwear right, can yah?"
Having to laugh, like, a little bit of banter.
It's quite funny, to be fair.
And when he sees a bright boot,
I'm pretty sure he don't like seeing a bright boot.
He'd rather everyone be straight black and white.
So, yeah.
he's the black and white Copas.
Do you have any boots that like,
you swapped with another player?
Like at the end of the game or anything like that.
Nah, do you know what?
Nah, unless it was Messi or Ronaldo,
I don't think I'll be asking for another pair of boots.
But I think that'd be a bit awkward,
"Yeah mate, can I have your boots?"
Hey listen, West Ham are top four,
now you never know, you may be seeing him next season.
Listen, "Messi, can I take everything?
The socks, the shoes, the pads."
Just take him. Just take him.
Come to West Ham, Messi, we'll take him any day.
So what would you say are your favorite pair of boots?
The Beckham Pulses.
Ooh, yeah. They look like belters.
They're proper, proper boots, as you can see.
'Cause they're like, they're so fresh.
They go yellow under the sole.
Yeah, what a boot that is.
And with this one, I've also got them in blue as well.
Which is a proper, like these remind me of Lampard, like,
04/05 season.
Would you say that's why they're so special
to you because it reminds you of those moments.
Yeah, like, just the world-class players.
You obviously look back on now, 'cause we're in 2021,
but you look back on them times
you're watching Premier League years, you know,
you're watching these players score fantastic goals,
and they're wearing these boots and, like, to have them now
and obviously to wear 'em as well is special.
But I wanna keep them fresh
because you never know, in 20 years time
you might not ever be able to get hold of them again.
Probably go for a few quid.
Exactly. Exactly, I've got to be careful.
Now, I know you might not want to wear your favorite pair
all the time.
Like, cause you don't wanna get them wrecked.
So what boots are you rocking at the minute?
At the minute I'm rocking the new, the new Copa,
which I've got here to hand.
Which is the latest Copa boot they've just brought out.
It's really different.
You know, it's a really different boot to the last Copa,
which was out.
I love it.
It's all black.
You know, it's got the gold at the back, you know,
the three stripes, everything about it's amazing.
There's, like, a new tongue on it as well,
which is really, really class.
See you've,
got Deccers on the side there, a little bit of stitching.
Yeah, got Deccers on it.
What's- have you got any mad stitches
on any of your shoes or like, 'cause, you know,
you see Jordan Pickford get the rave on
on the side of his.
You getting any mad ones on for the Euros or anything?
Nah, do you know what?
It's always just been either Deccers
or I've had my three nephews' names
on the side of my latest boots.
And I don't think I'll get anything that's a bit crazy
on the sides for the Euros,
but maybe, who knows? Let's wait and see.
You gotta think of a mad one, though.
Come on.
We've gotta come up with something good.
You're not saying, like, a little bit of a Rice Rice baby
on the side or anything like that.
Yeah. You know what?
That could work. Rice Rice, baby.
That would be a classic, to be fair.
That's a good one.
Might get on the phone
to Mike after and say next boot, Rice Rice baby.
Yeah. There you go, sorted, lad.
Mate, that will fly at the Euros I'm telling you.
That will fly.
