just starting to all happen for me I'm
drunk on this sweet shot the first game
for Paris wasn't nerves because the
plans were wanting me to come on because
they saw me doing some stuff and I was
quite excited about coming on for Palace
because I'd come on a few times flashed
around hit posts you know I mean done
skills so the palace fans were excited
for me so by the time I got to wear that
the first team shirt which was a white
one with the sash it looks something
like this but not quite like this you
know I remember it was against Oldham
we're losing to
and when I came on Kevin Taylor scored
made it to to an alum Irvine CrossFit is
Alan Irvine's at west am now with with
David Moyes across it cut back on his
left foot cross it on far post headed it

alpha wait stand first goal for Palace
I've only seen it like once because I
haven't got it then got it anywhere you
know I mean that's in any archive in
anything if anybody could find that goal
I'd do anything to see that goal good
just to see the celebration I ran so
much when I celebrated I was tied for
about five minutes afterwards because my
adrenaline buzz went through the roof
because I just got my first professional
goal such a good kit as well isn't it
they done this kit after that didn't
they they released it again like a
similar one in the last couple of
seasons what is this it's a training
shirt from Barden I think I had a couple
of games in this one but I scored a nice
hat-trick against Wimbledon such an
iconic show everybody goes crazy for it
and they just brought it back out as
well added ass and it just flies they
made the Slugger I mean when we started
in it we hated it I didn't like it
because I was desperate to play in this
one first - yeah so yeah League against
Leicester and in Southampton and I had
to wait to play in this one against
Chelsea you know you're thinking it's
going to be something like normal then
all of a sudden a dress came out with
this and we used to hate because we
didn't know where to sign it everybody
use the moan about it the players care
and I look forward to believe what a
thing is we thought that when it first
came out that people gonna laugh us in
this like I look back now and I look at
the pictures and when we're playing it's
it's a brilliant and the pictures of
fantastic I remember that you know I can
never ever get over how big they are
it's like everybody had to wear EXO yet
we'd found the atom size everything fit
told you Adam perfectly this was a good
one
that's a cool let me go with this one
because it was the final shirt look
Nigel
like Sheffield Wednesday yeah
beat them yeah beat him twice in the cup
this is Arsenal kit isn't it very long
sleeve or short sleeve what a thing is
is that I asked we had a we had a policy
where if Tony Adams wore long sleeve
everybody had to wear long sleeve and he
normally always wore short sleeve it's
freezing it wear short sleeve so you all
had to wear short sleeve you could not
at no stage could your shirt come out of
the shoulder had to be tucked in at
Arsenal it's one of those situations
like that we had to for every game we'd
have to go to ass in a circle clap away
from home and they all slaughtering us
and we're clapping in the middle like
this Fang and then you go and do the
warmup
I used to I used to hate doing it
because you know that they just were
going it they're just gonna give us
stick they know they don't want us to
clap them like I used to just do that
the amount of letters that were written
into Arsenal and parents are saying
their kids all their kids are folding
the shirts in I cut it out right and who
decided the kids start cutting out their
shirt their shirt collar and then I mr.
Dean I remember mr. Dean pulled me and
he said Ian you've got to stop him
this is my record breaker Jesus Christ
okay this is my first goal for England
in in one of these bins Poland greatest
lie ever that's every time I see the
celebration it I just love it I love I
love the celebrate look at the size of
this this can't look at it it's just a
replica
seriously okay cool I remember this one
because I was playing against Carr
Navarro in this one and like I used to
love playing against kind of aural
because he was so good even Dez Walker
with a toughest toughest players to play
against in my career
Moldova it's really weird I scored two
goals in this game it's brilliant
because I had a great time because I
used to always say to me don't worry
right I'll get you a couple of early
touches to get yourself into the game
because I used to be so nervous getting
really to play fring I get you some only
touches like just give me straight back
to me that's what he'd say
just give it straight back to me just
don't get rightly just give it least rip
Mac playing with the Kenya at West Ham
it's a pony kick that was a really good
time we had a really good team at
Western when the canny okay my never
seen a player so driven to be fit and
working on his on his body and
everything he was amazing you know I
mean he'd it'd have the unpin training
most of the time walking training and
they'd be doing that Italian you know he
all the way down there and he's still
waving his arms talking in Italian at
the top of his voice and we'd all be
laughing at him but like unbelievable
telling them this it's funny as well
because that's what you do you remember
you look at that shirt first thing I
think of is the canyon but that was
brilliant because I remember the first
game at my first game I'm thinking I
just want to impress about 5,000 West
Ham fans went up there I scored scored a
right to death and I remember running
away celebrating in this shirt that's
brilliant that's cool God you know
something I love Celtic simply because
of Kenny Dalglish Danny McGrane and all
them lot when I was younger and so to go
there for a little time and John Barnes
has managed it was a nightmare for John
Barnes but I can't think of anything but
happy times at so because the apart from
the fact you didn't know who you were
bumping into when he's walking down the
road which could be a nightmare but when
you met Celtic fans as long as you wore
this shirt you were loved man I've never
seen love like it you know I remember
going to lunch with Enric Larsen it was
it was literally like walking along the
road of Elvis Presley it's massive for
me now I was half the size when I was
actually wearing
Celtic then to burn me which was a
lovely way to end for me which was your
favorite celebration would you say you
know the FA Cup for Palace first one
yeah that was pure Todd Daly I call it
might our daily because I didn't realize
I was gonna score a goal you know the
ball came and I went past feed and cut
inside Pallister which it round late and
and in all of a sudden it happened so
quickly
Bam Bam Bam and all the time you scored
and you you turn and you see all the
fans go crazy and you're emotional
it's the FA Cup final is that it's the
game that I used to watch from the age
of like 89 and now you've just come on
and you've you've scored a goal and it's
it's just too much taking that up I'm
finished talking about it one of the
first predators this is Gaza's one I
can't believe you've got that there just
like that that boots amazing that's
worth fortunately my favorite
celebration for me Maradona like
especially 86 right what I saw watching
somebody do what he's doing watching him
do it live how he was playing in that 86
World Cup will be something that why
he'll always be the best to me I don't
think that I've seen anyone as good as
him it's the king when he first came and
you know what he claims it came as a
World Cup winner he won the World Cup by
Lin and now everybody's talking about
this winger now I remember I have
something to mentioning him as the
football equivalent of Michael Jordan he
could do everything and I think that as
once he got his feet in the Premier
League didn't score for a few games he's
physique he paced the skilled you know
dental he got this kind of like this
hunger for goals cuz I remember when I
some finger said he's gonna get him to
come to to ask noise he said yeah but I
don't score goals and I was throwing off
gold or something I said don't worry
your score goals I cannot believe that
he didn't think that he would be able to
score goals but once he got the bug for
scoring goals it was just it was so easy
for him you know it's so easy I can't
find any fault with the way he played
with everything he's done he's a team
player the assists he's got all those
goals and he's still record assists hey
Gaby batty gold L phenomenal he's born
to do it played against Sudan in the in
the torn Hwa and it's funny because when
you speak to Patrick in there when you
talk about Sudan and everything Patrick
Patrick would just say how he's
beautiful
how do you describe him as a player
beautiful and the thing is is that when
we played in this game you know anything
said yo our cheers Patrick yeah
you actually see you see the beauty you
see the way he moves you see that once
he gets the ball at his feet it's
pointless then going to try and close
down or anything because he's in front
he's already knows what's gonna happen
he knows what he's gonna pass it it was
really it was a joy to watch while
you're playing watch him playing as well
because you know you're on the field
with some real special bit some real
special talent the best culture we've
ever produced from this country getting
into the England team and this was this
was a time I got in he just nicked a
goal off of me in the game against
Cameroon he just got there in front of
me because that's what he'd done saying
I say mate he's uh he's career he's
underrated people don't understand what
he was about you know went to Spain
scoring hatrocks against the national
team spain national team's throwing
hatchets against real madrid
you know scoring hatrocks in World Cups
doesn't get the kind of credit that he
should get and I remember what in him
for years
a few years while he was just coming
towards the end of his England career
but the runs and the way the runs he
made to lose to get a half a yard it was
a proper education in making those runs
you know a lot to him but I want but I
wouldn't never tell him you you were
best number nine we've ever produced
ever proud to call him my friend now but
when we were playing I hated him simply
because of his hunger to score goals on
a weekly basis you come in useful to
share of scores free if you score 2-0
score one if you score free share of
scores two so you can never catch up
with him and we're talking about
somebody who had three years out of the
game with some real bad injuries and
he's still got two sixties still way out
in front I'm not sure again people
realise the enormity of his achievements
you know he went to Newcastle because
it's his hometown club could have easily
gone to man United won another seven
eight Premier League's you know I mean
and then probably globally you'd be even
more revered but he's still revered I
still think it's gonna take some real
doing for somebody to surpass 260 but
like you know I'm proud to call him my
friend now and my friend is that the
hair
of the Premier League goal scorers
simply because he's worked his socks off
to get there and he's done it for his
hometown club record goalscorer for him
I love him knows when used to play
against him you'd be in the tunnel with
him and you know him like you know I get
my left for England squad on the
Wednesday and then you're playing
against him on a Saturday and he just
blank you when you're in the tunnel
[Music]
my roommate when you get into a position
where you're playing with someone like
that you've done something right a
world-class player I learned a lot about
myself and what you need to do to be the
best and maintain it I think that when
he came to our club of DNA change like
in I always say like in there a Marvel
film like when when like when Spiderman
got bit we saw it butch
all the DNA change all the success that
Arsenal had the way of people that we've
gone global everybody loves Arsenal it's
because of him he's signed and he
changed it all for us look at the boys
look cuz that is it's too big yeah I
can't actually put into words how proud
I am of them because I know how tough it
is when they were small
I just thought never used to tell them
about wanting to play football and
playing football because obviously I was
doing it myself and let them get on with
it and do it themselves I never force
football down their throats I always
used to say to them listen guys just
make sure if you want to play for the
highest level don't give the ball away
try and use your teammates and enjoy the
playing when I used to take them home
from the football matches you know
they'd sit in the car and sometimes you
know especially Bradley's always don't
mix about not winning or something sean
is a little bit more carefree about it
but you know I mean I usually say to
them do you enjoy the game said yeah
that's the main thing enjoy the game
this is beautiful this is beautiful to
work at my boys like that this is a
tournament where he scored that
unbelievable free-kick Cameron and my
debut man for England this was arguably
the coldest football match I've ever
played in hey welcome reason one of them
was so cold something happened to his
place he kind of like had a massive all
right finger out seat that game is the
only football match where I felt like I
was actually floating on air the only
thing I didn't do was score and I was
literally I just went like that and
Linna cos foot just came and nicked it
off of me so I mean that's the only
thing that wouldn't have made it a
perfect day but like I thought if he's
close deploys from Africa they were too
cold they didn't get close enough but
everything worked for me everything just
worked out my touch was good it was good
just these here must be just like that's
just football history there Jesus 88
it's only 999 yeah it is your pick
Madrid 1980 oh my god this is Figo's
actual shirt you can start a war with
that if you show the Barcelona fan that
it really is impressive man I don't know
what to say I'll be back just because I
love it here so much
