Been off today. Saw something on Breakfast Time about this being premiered last night and now on Netflix. Watched all 4 episodes, it's very good. Some of the shit he's had to put up with over the years is awful. Plus Posh is good on it too. Loads of others interviewed about him as well.

He’s also a guest on Gary Neville’s “Overlap” show.
Putting aside all the showbiz stuff , he was the hardest working footballer I’ve ever seen play live. I’ll never forget his performances for England both in attack and defence and of course, his unbelievable crossing and dead ball delivery.

Funnily enough, I was having a conversation the other day where I was saying he was massively underrated. Because of his looks and personal life, people tended to disregard him. He drove England with his energy and ability for years, played for top clubs and seems a top lad. Rebecca Loos? Well, you would, wouldn’t you?!

Just to add, no idea if he did or didn’t, but always comes across as a genuine nice fella. I know the stuff like the coaching youths programme is edited to make him look good, but I’ve no reason to think he’s a twat.

I don't think he was ever underrated, just disliked because of who he played for and who he dated. He was an easy scapegoat.

Won't have anything to with the media and it's not supposed to be like that, if you're on the grid you're free to be interviewed.

So far I can recommend it. I've little time for Gary Neville, but he comes across very well, as do many of his team mates including Cantona and Paul Ince. I'd forgotten about the run in with Hoddle when England manager.

In that world cup qualifier against Greece he was absolute immense. He pretty much dragged England through single handedly. His freekick obviously sealed it but he was brilliant all game.

Stuart Pearce fucked him right over for a place in the Olympic team 2012. No way to treat a fantastic servant for his country, not only on the field but all his work put into bringing the Olympics to Britain in the first place. Had no time for Pearce after that. Wasn't Micah Richards one of the over-age players picked? I'm certain Ryan Giggs was.

The treatment he got after the red card v Argentina was ridiculous. The stuff you read about was bad, the hanged effigy and bullets in the post etc, but his mates talking about one always having to go with him, if he needed the bog when they were out, in case someone had a pop at him or people spitting at him in the street or deliberately barging into him.
Simeone is in it, he says it was never a red card and hammed up his playacting.

I couldn’t believe the amount of ground he covered that night.

I remember reading, just after he went to Madrid, that the Galacticos weren't convinced when he signed but realised after a bit that they had to raise their workrate to match his.

Watched it in a bar in Thailand in the midst of the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had. When the free kick went in, jumped up and immediately followed through. So pissed I didn't care. Happy days!

I enjoyed the part where Victoria is trying to give a sob story about coming from nothing and he puts her in her place because it's utter nonsense 🤣

Does he mention coming to the home of football to watch his mate Ben Thornley play (If Man U were not playing on the Saturday, some of the 92 class would sit in the riverside lower to watch him)

Me too, Roy of the Rovers stuff, couldn't believe what I was seeing with the ground he was covering and the way he drove the team on, to score that free kick at the end and everything it meant was just unbelievable, you couldn't write it any better than that. Perfection!

They all told me I was seeing things, nice to know I wasn't.
