Is that you?
Oh!
I've never seen this before!
You can't show that in replay.
So Dad, we're going to see a little bit of old footage when you played.
It's in black and white, just remember.
I was about 20 kilos lighter.
You remember those players?
Apart from me?
I remember Weah.
That's a nice picture.
Young supporter, you loved England.
Went to, was that Wembley?
League Cup final.
When I was first signed for city, obviously it's a long time ago, but, just after me, George Weah came.
And he was a Ballon d'Or winner.
He was a fantastic player, I'm not sure if you remember him?
I remember him he was, he was fast.
And really good.
But obviously, I dreamt about playing with Paul Dickov.
Also, so he was there and he was a legendary player from when they got promoted.
So he's a, he's a big part of history.
You met him today.
He's a good fella.
There we go, oh bosh!
Get down.
The first of many yellow cards.
See I was quick, it was against Leeds.
I had some battles with Dacourt.
E: What are you doing?
A: It's nothing!
What are you doing?
That's a red card.
It would be a red card now.
That's also a red.
What are you doing?
Di Canio!
Paulo Di Canio, he was quick up though, fair to him.
That was against Savage
I had some battles with him.
It was funny though.
You didn't think.
You didn't think!
Luckily for me there was no VAR or
When I see these tackles, I think my career would end if you would tackle me all the time like this.
I think I have a bit of the punch, same punch.
As we see here, when he is, uh, don't care about anything, just go directly on it.
I think this is a little bit, maybe I have from him
Not the, not the height, but
I think the mentality and, uh, the kind of hard working.
I think this is something I have, I have from him.
I'm looking forward if we could see some goals
that you scored so I can see the goals.
And some misses.
Look at this that's Weah, for me.
That's my first goal at city.
Is that an own goal?
No, no.
You can see.
No VAR.
So I got the goal.
A: Against Villa, away.
E: Oh that's a pass!
That's a good goal.
The celebrations were much better.
Let's see the bumpy pitches.
That's the only reason why I didn't score.
Oh, this is bad.
I never seen this before!
That's a big one.
You can't show that in replay!
But look at the pitches.
I only took one free kick in my life.
It's a goal.
Hit the target and you can score.
That's a good goal.
I have to say I'm a better finisher.
I have to say this!
But, nah I mean, to be a kind of defender/midfielder, it was not bad.
I've seen some nice goals from you, there were some nice misses as well I have to say
but it's not bad.
I was a better defender than scoring goals I must say,
but I still have 18 in the Premier League, so I'm quite happy.
So
E: You have more goals than me.
A: Before you have 18 you can't say anything!
E: I cannot say anything.
I remember we were having a bad start to the first game.
So the first home game was really important for us and we,
we won the game and I scored the goal and it was a lot of emotions and you know, it's a fantastic crowd in there at City.
So, um, it was really, really nice.
And there was a lot of emotions.
So you can be looking forward to scoring your first goal.
It's um, it's a nice experience.
So this was the game against Leicester away.
And I thought, I thought the game was over.
So I gave the shirt to the crowd.
But we had to, I had to get the shirt back, because I gave it away.
No please!
He was only going to book Wanchope,
I thought the game was over.
Ooh!
This was, we went to London and we went to see West Ham v City
and they spotted me in there, buying a beer at half time.
So I was just a supporter on the day
Yeah, they lifted me up at halftime and they stayed there for about 20 minutes.
So they missed 20 minutes of the second half
good away support from the City supporters.
And it was fun to fun to be there.
I've heard some rumours about a story about the away fans and the petrol.
Yeah, I think we'd lost, obviously lost a game.
And then I spotted some, some City fans at the petrol station.
And I was terrified because we had a bad game yeah and,
you know, I was a little bit scared that they was gonna kick me or beat me up.
or something like that!
So I went in and I when I paid
I said, you know, pay for this little mini bus.
He was going home.
You know, also just to be nice to them.
I'm not sure it was £30 or £40 worth, of diesel
for them, they didn't realise before, obviously I'd gone.
And there was, um, it was live on this radio programme afterward and they went wild you know
they forgot about the game and they just told how nice, how nice a person I was.
And so, I came away from that with um, well first
My uh, I didn't get beat up and, they thought I was a nice person also.
So that was the story.
That's a good story.
Obviously I didn't play at this beautiful new ground, I played at the older Maine Road.
It was really good, you know, it was a sell-out every game.
And the fans are really passionate about the team.
It's, it's a very good atmosphere in most of the English grounds,
but, when you play for these fans it's a little bit special.
So it was a really, really nice experience.
I've been to, uh, I've been to many, many City games and, I know how it is.
And I'm, I'm looking forward to it, to get to know them and to celebrate with them, and in front of them.
So, looking forward to it.
I have a small gift for you.
Uh,
But he doesn't play for City?
Heung-min Son doesn't play for City!
Thank you, that's nice.
Nice, Dad and son.
You gave me a Dad jersey and then,
You give it back.
Thank you very much spiritual, actually.
E: I give back a son.
It's beautiful actually.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
No problem.
