it's a it's a story that you could tell a thousand times to your grandkids and you probably wouldn't believe it so now it was what a season it was [Music] yes Jamie all right what's going on how you good you good could see man so welcome welcome to work what a war we've got like a collection of shirts to basically tell your life story so we'll start with you growing up rap until your career as it understands so as you like a special guest we've got you like a customized gift which is like 2002 World Cup with your real name taken so you can take it afterwards oil 80 foot you can take afterwards what was the lag growing up in Sheffield and seeing these shirts yeah you know it's good obviously well Sean males bro everyone around there was shifter as it might so years he was born into it obviously great times being able to to go to some of the games on you when you're younger and obviously as you get older he's you realize just what football me so everyone I don't know like when you when you're when you're seeing guys that Hurst like as a young kid lat what kind of places what you'd like trying to emulate your heroes was that obviously in London we playing cages alleyways is it the same in Sheffield yeah 100% I feel all the time alleyways someone's car garbage where wherever we had the chance I mean at one bit me my mates were playing on the exit doors for this away funds up the stadium repaint everything but it's just anyway you could play football you you always make sure that one of the lads are the football and that was it you were off in a way a little keeper 100 some classic birthday let's go through them these ones so I want to know like the divide in the sea so your Wednesday go I've got United shirt here how divided is the sheet because of these latter two shirts its massive and it was always good when when they were playing against each other the atmospheres that you get really good in I said people live for football so games like this in Sheffield a massive obviously bragging rights and everything that go with it you still got the regular s cuz obviously scored against him a little cheeky celebration lighthouse I was gonna celebrate but sent most of them took it took it in jest what was it like being a little use team player back then in these shirts and it is like compared to now it meant everything obviously it's a me been a being a Wednesday fun that's all I had before I was going to be then the thought I was gonna be a chef unz player didn't work out that way but things take the the wrong roots for reasons and it was just one of them it was just a setback which I had to use to to make sure it bettered myself but I said flame with playing with the shirt on even just in the academy growing up it really did feel special 9 that year you supported the club got some classic black from the 2002 World Cups I want to know what your memories are watching these games I was in that Brazil England I know some of your earlier memories of these games having them down with we actually got to watch the game of school which was always a bonus no lessons obviously another result one is yeah got the result that anyone wanted that day but I think first and foremost it was obviously watching your country play play football or well folks unbelievable but to top that off not having to do any class work while you get in to watch the football is just just an added bonus now we've got almost every shirt yeah and try to get stock speech but we just couldn't find one baby yeah I couldn't find it anywhere but I want it I want to talk about that time and lack just being in that shirt like did you ever fall out there the impossible would be possible not the way you're standing here today in this change room when you was wearing that stop Richard do you think yeah one day I could make it there no it was again I I just been playing I mean one of the lads he got released with me at the same time at Sheffield Wednesday he played he played for one whose lock or some delayed sides and we're gonna college together and he just asked me to come in come and play with him on a Sunday and I was like yeah that's that's fine obviously enjoying it again and that was under 18s and then stocks Riddler literally ten minutes away from my house I said that they wanted time so I went up weren't gonna sign at first because obviously my mate had just got me back into back into playing but you convinced me to go Simon was probably the right thing obviously been on my doorstep and seeing that they had a path through to like a semi-pro football club so there was something at the end of it was was definitely one of the factors in going there and luckily for me that site turned up I mean at one stage I was playing under 18s on a Sunday but I was playing for the reserve team the SAP there so I was playing two games that we just just trying to get it yeah just just enjoying myself in quite then when it weren't an issue you you at that age where two games in in two days as nothing so yeah it was old all good and luckily doing it like that that's what got me got me locked up from stucks was his first team manager again struggled with Halifax shirts well we've got one from like a nice lack of fingers in that e8 I just want to talk about 29 goals for Halifax first season like was that was that like a turning point for you in a football show where you thought like yes I'm I'm starting to crack on now no [Laughter] luckily I'm because I've always been wanting to to enjoy myself I signed for Alex and it was addressing me mob tightly were literally like like a bunch of mates and everything again so went in there everyone was always laughing joking and I think that showed when we were on the pitch we were all together in I mean we got promoted duck seized and absolutely prompt the league and I just found out at the end of season that the Halifax had put a price tag on me at Christie's being a couple of clubs sniffing around and that's when I ended up moving up Knopf and we did get a shirt that you played in this one here Fleetwood Town but this is like their current season one here what was it like this one now in this year 31 goals now surely you're thinking I'm gonna get snapped up here or now are you still just playing guys see me fair when I was it for I started thinking that that it could happen I mean I remember the day I signed was was the Thursday I just I'd literally just quit my job as well where was you working I was in a factory oh wait yeah I I just decided to get your football a golfer for 12 months to to see what worked like works out what happened if it didn't then I was told that my job at the factory is still there wait and if I needed to come back in three days later I ended up signing for fleet with a bug got a phone call off me agent on the Thursday morning asking me what I knew about Fleetwood sound which I replied absolutely nothing and you better get on Google cuz that's are you signing for and then you do make that move to 2012 to this club here I want to know yeah so you go from 30 pound a game to sign him for 1 million that's a non-league record at the time like he must have felt like a serious bullet in like surely surely let what was it like when you when you first walked in this change when you see this you see this shirt no it's good obviously it was different there was a lot there's a lot of big names in that just for me but like when I've been playing with previous clubs you'd watch him in and they'd be on telly all the time so it was different but I think walking into to the dressing room you could tell that the lads were probably the same as what I had all all the way through my other clubs as well and what we in a good set of lads there was no no big-time Charley's or anything like that or making you feel welcome promotion season yeah how confident do you feel in these shows I think what also helps is that season with the obviously the heartbreak of the playoffs to the year before and we kind of helped that helped us with with using that knowing that we are good enough to be up there it's just about consistently doing it week in week out and I think this season we showed exactly that and we ended up taking the league by storm when you see the shell out what was your feelings of that day do you feel that if it wasn't for this game you probably went down but that that's what we were saying in the dressing room we knew we knew deep down that we needed to we needed to get three points and obviously to get the three points out we did and the celebrations that followed bit random but yeah is it's definitely one of them days away you just think now we can we could do this keep playing like this for the rest of the season and we'll be staying up and that's exactly what and we just kept it going kept the momentum going in the money stir stove what do you see when you see this shirt here it's a it's a story that you could tell a thousand times to your grandkids and you probably wouldn't believe it so now it was what a season it was what a season it was and I mean I think to be honest the momentum from a season before helps us a lot as well we just carried that on going into the next season and we were just taking each game as it comes we literally started the season saying no we just need to get 40 points makes let's make sure I was doing the league gets 40 points and then I think we had 39 come half the halfway point remember the graph every time and I said right we need these next 19 games I want one more points I'm right oh sweet we've gotten hanging games to get one point Nana the next offseason I want 40 points not 39 so I was like wow and again just game by a game playing football enjoying it you could see where the smiles under Lud's faces and everything was just clicking it was just winning off the wind coming in and then obviously it's a to go on and to be able to lift up about Premier League trophies absolutely unbelievable now it's a mad season for you so I've got like obviously 11 consecutive games broke this guy's record ironically against United like I wouldn't know yet what number did you get to yeah we thought yeah well I'm gonna break this I didn't know it was there was literally so much media and stuff going on about it you literally just try and blank it as much as you can so I think if you concentrate on something that out so much then it's it's definitely not gonna happen so it's just game by game you just kept picking up a goal picking up ago and then I equaled it against Newcastle away and then to be fed so there lads were either the media team either had a video done for me from all the lads just obviously wishing me luck before before in my new game and then obviously it's a day against my new and and the way that we did it because we were known that season for being a counter attacking team so just to get the ball from one of their corners and within eight seconds we've done the other end and score and was it was obviously a great feeling talking about this celebration lap yeah I don't know why you don't know what to do and I was just like just on a different planet I think I wish kid did you like playing in and yeah just to know I like I like them all I like come on but I have to I saw the top quite tight yeah yeah it's that I attack for you cuz I'm just thinking it's bugging I'm running and I've just got the wind holder so it is as tight as possible I want to know man come before where you come from like your debut against Ireland first go yes these guys crazy game like what was it let talk to last two score for England for the first time that obviously your goal scorer we know you for scoring goals but for your country that must have been crazy that wearing this shirt there is it was unbelievable especially to get my first goal against kiss Jeremy everyone says friendly game but I don't think there's anything any such thing as a friendly Mike saw especially the way that we did it as well I think we the to know down and I think I'll come off the bench - tear to get one to make it to you - I think it was at the time and then die opposed I put there right at the enter to win free to lastly we're in a burning building yeah and you've got to save two shirts so the first shot is based on your favorite memory in a football shirt the second show is based strictly on the style so if you like that shuffle your nature I want to say anything so this I'm gonna say then okay let's go first one best memory in a football shirt you're taking that one west brom that's your favorite memory yeah so it was just because of what it meant really that's that's so glad to use wearing this one here so but yeah that one okay over over the title yeah you said I get to pick two okay but I'm saying okay one the second one is based on the style the style Stickley on how to how the kit looks so you're going now you gotta wear kit which one which when you pull it up I'm still talking this one yeah I like those year to year yeah you're happy with the two then what's it on taking that's perfect man Jamie appreciate the time not really thanks so much thank you
