I remember 2 seasons ago after tottenham beat arsenal 2-0 which took spurs top of the league and arsenal down to 14th and everyone was screaming Arteta out mourinho said "I want to say congratulations to Mikel. Tactically they are becoming so so good. I've been in football for a long time and I can read situations in advance and Arteta is doing a fantastic job with this team. I know now people will hear this and laugh but I think they will be such a threat when he gets his plan across" He was right. Arteta is the best proof that sometimes you need to give managers more than a few months
I remember that speech, I thought to myself, thinking either Mourinho was trying to humiliate us or he was going mad with that speech. But now I realize we as spectators do not have a clue about teams set up and tactics like they do COYG
I didn't remember that but I do remember Pep's words right from the time Mikel was about join us as a head coach. Pep said Arteta would bring incredible success to Arsenal and he is always as good as his words.
The spookiest thing about Arteta is that he's so tactically sound that he was being recruited by the best manager in the world while he was still Arsenal captain, Pep literally tried to speed up his process to working with Arteta, thats a ridiculous endorsement of your potential.
Relax, the hype is getting out of hand now. Arteta has been given unprecedented amounts of time and funding and the project is not 'ahead' of schedule at all. Arsenal will achieve top 4 this season.
@@mart4414 Arsenal 5 points clear, statistically they should go on to win the league, at this point they will get at least second, if not win it. And, the team is young, we could see Arsenal go on to fight City for the next 4 - 5 years now. It's time really, Arsenal come up every 20 years or so and start dominating, like a cycle. Done it for nearly 100 years. 13 League Titles.
Spot on mate. I’ve always said he’s already a success by doing that (as that was literally an objective for him). Obviously we want to win major titles but people keep forgetting that there are foundations and things that we’ve already achieved other than silverware
Totally agree. The foundation he built is extremely solid. I know for a fact if this guy was backed by the owners he can take this club to the next level. The team is 2-3 players away from winning the prem.
@@bobbyalexander8592 he has given Arsenal back to the fans, the fact you just look at 2 league positions during his 1st 2 seasons shows you don't have the intelligence to understand what he's done
His focus, clarity of thought and communication skills is impressive for such a young and inexperienced manager. I believe he will be a very successful manager
There so no so called inexperience. A manager's experience commences with his early childhood as a football fan till the moment he landed on the world of professional football.
Nah I can't believe anyone will watch or listen to Arteta's interviews and hate or dislike him. Tears in my eyes seeing other team's fans singing his praise and talking about how likeable he is as a coach and a person. To even come to Arsenal at the stage we were in as a young and a rookie coach/manager is remarkable because the environment at the club at that time was setup for the next manager to fail than to succeed. I doubt there are alot of young managers out who knows what they're about like him. This guy has everything planned and knows exactly the results that comes out of what he has planned and put in place. His vision, communication skill, ability to work and/or transform young players, ability to work with his coaching staff as a team and his humbleness says alot about how great a manager he is or will be. I'm so happy I believed and trusted him right from the beginning and also through the difficult times. I wouldn't change him for any manager in the world not even for Pep or Klopp. I hope and dream that one day I will get a chance to work with or have a big conversation to get his ideas and what he thinks of certain things not only as a manager but a human being because the greatness I see in him is beyond just football and if I don't get to work with him or meet him I hope he writes a book with I'll be so happy to get.
Absolutely hit the nail on the head with your comment! Fully agree with everything you’ve said. When he joined I read a deep dive interview with him on his tactics and philosophies (i think by the athletic or something) i even subscribed to the publisher on trial to read it and the level of knowledge he has from other sectors, industries and on the art of management and leadership is astounding even referencing the software sectors I work in. Told all my friends and colleagues this guy will take the club back to the top - followed his career closely as half my family are evertonian the other are gunners (i got lucky being from that side!) but one thing we all agree on is what a legend this guy was at both clubs and a natural leader. I feel privileged we get to witness his energy and vision around the club we love and I haven’t been this excited since the invincible team was coming together!

Pep said we created a monster in Arteta. I think he's right. Roots in tiki taka Barcelona, battle hardened in the SPL & Prem, played with some of the best ever and worked with the best manager in Pep. A recipe for football perfection?
As a Rangers fan I really hope Arteta finds great success as a manager as he was a great player for us once. Sometimes wonder how things may have panned out had Rangers had the foresight to go after him while he was still a coach at City instead of going for Steven Gerrard and Arsenal going for Arteta. But he suits Arsenal well and I really hope yous do something special this season! 🔴🔵
@@C1872-e3n Gerrard completed his mission at rangers. The board refused to back him to take it to the next level, the board are a disgrace and have basically handed celtic the title back. Every transfer window since stevie left has been abysmal.

I slated arteta wen he came in due to no experience at a club of our level but I can honestly say I was wrong big up arteta he's transformed our club and the fans are connected
We are getting to the point where kids these days are too young to remember prime Henry. I think they just assume it’s Arsenal fans bigging up their old player. Just listen to the awe in how Arteta, Carragher, Rio, Neville describe playing against him.
I can’t lie, I love this man, we’re the same age, and I feel very connected to his process as a professional. People love to banter and hate, but he’s so young and working magic at Arsenal. I really do look up to the way he speaks and communicates, something I’d love to implement with my clients for the future.
Anyone can change a club when you give them unlimited money & unlimited power. Not hard. Other problem is no big club is happy with back to back 8th place finishes.
Arsenal fans are some of the most emotionally unstable split personality characters in the game. If Arteta loses 2 or 3 on the bounce, you'll all be screaming for his head 🤣 It's the Arsenal way.
I used to watch that PSG team. Arteta, Ronaldinho and Okocha. Okocha and Ronaldinho were killing teams. That was a really good team no ever talks about. Forgotten in history lol.
The French league wasn't popular them. Very few people watched them then, that's why Ronaldinho didn't become popular until he moved to Barcelona, Okocha didn't become popular until he moved to Bolton wonderers.
Nah, not really. Only casual fans didn't know about it. I was aware of Ronaldinho's magnificent skills ever since he transferred to PSG and of Jay-Jay Okocha from the great Nigerian WC teams of the 90s, despite not consistently watching PSG (I was into Spanish teams, e.g. Valencia, then Barcelona). They, along with Arteta, were great players, but apart from Okocha, their global fame came only after moving out of Paris. Apart from one or two teams at the top, he French league is not popular now either, just like the Bundesliga - it's something about them that makes them more "local" than for example, Spanish, Italian and English teams, which are more widely known, even when it comes to middle placed clubs. P.S. Another great player from that time and place was Juninho Pernambucano fom Lyon - his free kicks were absolutely insane.
It's pretty clear that both Arteta and Arsenal have benefitted from being prepared to eat some pretty awful end of season finishes, and stay the course. Makes you wonder how many other young successful managers there would be if they were given the time that Arsenal have given Arteta.
Not many, I guess. It's not just the owners good will, it's the ability of a young manager to convince them that he's the right man. And Arteta is unique in that respect. I think people still don't get it - the fact that Mikel is an elite manager, even though he hasn't got a chance or time to win anything big yet. The way he thinks, the way he communicates, the way he behaves, the way he positions himself - he's just head and shoulders above the rest of good young managers in EPL.
Even though Arteta didn't manage to get arsenal to 4th last season, they narrowly missed and went on a great run prior. It was a big improvement on the season before but they fell a little short. I think any reasonable board would have done the same given the generally good results throughout the season. The only exception really being at Chelsea
I would add David Moyes at Manchester United to these thread. They done him wrong that time and Roberto demateo at Chelsea. Won the UCL and couldn't even keep his place
As much as arsenal's latest owners are annoying arsenal no matter what seem to always have high class in certain situations and sticking by arteta threw the rough times seems to be proving exactly that they are getting all the benefits of allowing him to have full control of his ideas and visions of what and how he wants his first eleven to play it's working well I just hope they continue to stick by him and offer the money his young stars deserve
It's good to see a team with patience to give the manager time to make adjustments and get the right players with other teams sacking managers after just a season or even just a couple of months without giving them much chance.
People forget, this guy has played under, and with, genius's of the game throughout his life....Pep Guardiola, Johan Cruyff, Ronandinho, Arsene Wenger just to name a few....the footballing, and emotional intelligence of the guy is absolutely ridiculous.
i was always on the fence. realistically its the owners showing no ambition for years & years lowering the standards season by season. we have such a thin squad like always which needs to change this coming window. but i wouldnt be surprised if we get just one player.
I honestly hope we keep this man for a minimum of 10 years. I think his blend of experience is golden and shows in this arsenal side who are in their infancy. He said about pep viewing himself as defensive, arteta doesnt see control and game state quite so cynically and I think that means we get peps possession football but more aggressive and creative
As a city fan, it's not a coincidence that our best ever seasons statistically were with arteta as assistant coach. Top guy who I'm sure will win arsenal silverware and put them back at the top level in the Premier league.
The players that were involved in that PSG Era - Gabriel Heinze, Mikel Arteta, Mauricio Pochettino, Nicholas Anelka, Jay-Jay Okocha, Cisse, Ronaldinho then to top that off, they had a balling Shirt!! Wow!!
Mikel is very good and very humble. Impressed. It’s to Pep’s credit that he recognised it so early. Mikel will win the PL no doubt. It’s just a question of time.
Agree! We get enough pundits tearing strips off each other and moaning about their former clubs. It's good to see a managed in an intimate setting answering questions that reveal things about the way they think, and where they hope to go. Carragher is a good fit for this. This was a good interview. Short, but full of content.
Even without the experience of management at the top level ,Mikel is an intelligent & very driven & passionate person who has the club at heart & will do almost anything to be succesful at Arsenal ....Good luck & COYG
People were crying out for (and some idiots still are) a big name manager like Conte, Tuchel, Allegri etc but I guarantee none of them would have done what Arteta has. They would have come in and force their style and ideas onto the club but they would not have taken the time to completely rebuild the club which what was needed as you look at Spurs and Conte is trying to force his ideas but he’s struggling because the club isn’t in a place where you can just come in and start winning things. People still don’t seem to understand what a rebuild is, starting at the foundations, ripping things up, even things some might not understand why’ like getting rid of Leno who people thought was good enough. Despite the money spent, we are still in the middle of the rebuild. I believe the final phase of his five phase plan will be similar to Man City in having a bench pretty much as good as your starting eleven.
There's a part in All or Nothing were he asks a player how they visualise their phone number, in groups of digits. And then he compares it to football. This guy's mind is built different.
I knew from the first interview he did as an Arsenal manager that he was the man to resurrect the mighty Gunners. He basically burned it up and rebuilt. A lot of people didn’t like it and started their agendas making fun of him calling him Pep’s cones man etc. and the word project was ridicule but look at him now a rising superstar of a manager and his methods will be used as a blueprint for any team that wants a meaningful rebuild. Got to feel the pain before the gain. UP THE GUNNERS.
Johan Cruyff revolutionised football as a player and also as a manager. He coached a young Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola then revolutionised football himself (as a manager) and taught Arteta how to be a manager/coach.
And no mention of Wenger? Early 2000s to insult Wenger they called it tippy-tappy ball; it makes its way to Guardiola via Rijkaard and renamed tika-taka.
As Rangers fan loved when he played for Rangers! if only he was a manager for Rangers 😁 but he's doing excellent job at Arsenal, all Arsenal fans are lucky to have him as manager
Brought up in his football youth on Cruyff's principles, played aside the likes of Ronaldinho is his first few years, follow that up by playing in the physical toughness of the Scottish League, premier league player and captain for around 10 years and then under the mentorship of Pep and a top top city side for 3 seasons
Truth be told even as an Arsenal supporter I'd have been disappointed if he answered "North London" at 1:32. Dude's played in some seriously big games; North London at Arsenal, Old Firm at Rangers, Basque Derby at Real Sociedad, and Merseyside at Everton. That's like four of the top ten most known derbies in the world.
Chill lol I’m an Arsenal fan but let’s take it one step at a time. We’ve not won anything besides the FA cup and not finished top 4 yet. I love the guy but we need to slow down.
@@paulrogers2711 Got a team who hasn't won a league title in 22 years, competing with powerhouses like City and Liverpool, won an FA cup in his first few months as full time manager, and won multiple league titles and trophies as the number 2 along side one of the greatest managers ever. If that's not enough, in such a short career so far, to say he definitely has the potential, then I don't know what does.
@@paulrogers2711 You here to tell us about how ''You'' selflessly ran in and saved a baby from a burning building in comparison? Ey, Top of the league, dark horse, City top level management enquiring why tf the sale of their players to Arsenal stands in the table results now? You done a comment on a RUclips video 👀
Mikel is right - you cannot copy and paste in sports that evolve. The NFL is a great example, it used to be all about rushing yards, running backs, QB's really only ever threw the ball. Now you have Josh Allen, Patrick Maholmes, Justin Fields etc all often running in touchdowns. The Punt returners are nowhere near the Devin Hester level. So in 15 years it's changed a lot. Same as our game, defence is not in the main, by keeping the ball and wearing down the opponent.
@@simonc9874 it’s so funny that loads of people will write that analogy off because of the mention of the NFL but it’s literally the perfect example of how much the game changes and how the best teams find ways to adapt to it
I don't care if Arsenal finish top, second or third or even fourth. This man has reviewed the club. He has shown that Arsenal can and will compete for titles!
Arsenal has got a manager for the next decade if they treat him right! Let's hope they get the cash out for this guy to take it to the next level. City fan but it's good to see Arsenal back on top was a huge team growing up
So many people saying what he has done at Arsenal in such a short time is incredible. Majority of them weren't ready to give him even half the amount of that time and when someone put a point that he needs around 3-4 years transform the club it was considered too long by them. Nobody understood Arteta's potential and magnitude of how far Arsenal had fallen.

I think any reasonable board would have done the same given the generally good results throughout the season. The only exception really being at Chelsea
I would add David Moyes at Manchester United to these thread. They done him wrong that time and Roberto demateo at Chelsea. Won the UCL and couldn't even keep his place
As much as arsenal's latest owners are annoying arsenal no matter what seem to always have high class in certain situations and sticking by arteta threw the rough times seems to be proving exactly that they are getting all the benefits of allowing him to have full control of his ideas and visions of what and how he wants his first eleven to play it's working well I just hope they continue to stick by him and offer the money his young stars deserve
It's good to see a team with patience to give the manager time to make adjustments and get the right players with other teams sacking managers after just a season or even just a couple of months without giving them much chance.
People forget, this guy has played under, and with, genius's of the game throughout his life....Pep Guardiola, Johan Cruyff, Ronandinho, Arsene Wenger just to name a few....the footballing, and emotional intelligence of the guy is absolutely ridiculous.
you KNOW we’re doing well when sky sports start giving us coverage like this
I think we all underestimated him severely at the start. I think he’s gonna prove himself as one of the greats.
Not all. I backed him from the start. Only had doubts once and that was Everton away last year.
i was always on the fence. realistically its the owners showing no ambition for years & years lowering the standards season by season. we have such a thin squad like always which needs to change this coming window. but i wouldnt be surprised if we get just one player.
I never had any doubt about him
As a City fan I didn't. I seen everyone else doing it though.
Btw, that Arsenal Robbie, black guy, AFTV, wanted him sacked. Just thought I'd say that.
Really glad arteta was born to be Arsenal Manager for long decade from now..
This is not quick fire. This is slow cook. Cook to perfection ❤️
You say slow COOK right but how long you think it takes Arteta to win big ears, AKA The CHAMPIONS LEAGUE lads OBV
i love how he’s gone full 180 with the media they all love him now
I honestly hope we keep this man for a minimum of 10 years. I think his blend of experience is golden and shows in this arsenal side who are in their infancy. He said about pep viewing himself as defensive, arteta doesnt see control and game state quite so cynically and I think that means we get peps possession football but more aggressive and creative
Arteta is one of the best coach in the premier league
Started as Quick fire questions, then turned into an interview 😂😂
As a city fan, it's not a coincidence that our best ever seasons statistically were with arteta as assistant coach. Top guy who I'm sure will win arsenal silverware and put them back at the top level in the Premier league.
The players that were involved in that PSG Era - Gabriel Heinze, Mikel Arteta, Mauricio Pochettino, Nicholas Anelka, Jay-Jay Okocha, Cisse, Ronaldinho then to top that off, they had a balling Shirt!! Wow!!
Poch and Arteta weren’t all that as players 😂
@@novelist5380
This was before psg were super rich it was still a pretty good team
Mikel is very good and very humble. Impressed. It’s to Pep’s credit that he recognised it so early. Mikel will win the PL no doubt. It’s just a question of time.
'You can copy [your mentors], but you can't copy and paste unfortunately, it doesn't work like that'.
That's a genius take from Arteta.
As an evertonian who loved this fella I feel a bit gutted he didn't say more about us and our fans he was adored
More of these please: so many interesting managers - would be good to see Ten Haag, Howe or Potter
Agree! We get enough pundits tearing strips off each other and moaning about their former clubs. It's good to see a managed in an intimate setting answering questions that reveal things about the way they think, and where they hope to go. Carragher is a good fit for this. This was a good interview. Short, but full of content.
*Ten Hag
Everyone names Thierry as their toughest opponent. What a player
Even without the experience of management at the top level ,Mikel is an intelligent & very driven & passionate person who has the club at heart & will do almost anything to be succesful at Arsenal ....Good luck & COYG
such a quality manager. feel lucky to have him as a gooner
In Arteta we trust ❤
Guys gonna go far, he’s some manager. What a player he was. WATP 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.
There would never be any real success without a good process. Mikel is proving it true once again to all the naysayers who want to succeed overnight.
People were crying out for (and some idiots still are) a big name manager like Conte, Tuchel, Allegri etc but I guarantee none of them would have done what Arteta has. They would have come in and force their style and ideas onto the club but they would not have taken the time to completely rebuild the club which what was needed as you look at Spurs and Conte is trying to force his ideas but he’s struggling because the club isn’t in a place where you can just come in and start winning things. People still don’t seem to understand what a rebuild is, starting at the foundations, ripping things up, even things some might not understand why’ like getting rid of Leno who people thought was good enough.
Despite the money spent, we are still in the middle of the rebuild. I believe the final phase of his five phase plan will be similar to Man City in having a bench pretty much as good as your starting eleven.
You can see the intellect behind this man’s eyes, proper leader
There's a part in All or Nothing were he asks a player how they visualise their phone number, in groups of digits. And then he compares it to football. This guy's mind is built different.
Since 2004 this is first real chance for Arsenal to win PL. It will be a great story and achievement if it happens.
2008 & 2016 were also good chances for Arsenal to win the league
My manager admires Henry, Ronaldinho and Okocha, makes alot of sense
He don’t know you bro
Did not expect Australian cricket to get a mention here
I knew from the first interview he did as an Arsenal manager that he was the man to resurrect the mighty Gunners. He basically burned it up and rebuilt. A lot of people didn’t like it and started their agendas making fun of him calling him Pep’s cones man etc. and the word project was ridicule but look at him now a rising superstar of a manager and his methods will be used as a blueprint for any team that wants a meaningful rebuild. Got to feel the pain before the gain. UP THE GUNNERS.
Johan Cruyff revolutionised football as a player and also as a manager. He coached a young Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola then revolutionised football himself (as a manager) and taught Arteta how to be a manager/coach.
And no mention of Wenger? Early 2000s to insult Wenger they called it tippy-tappy ball; it makes its way to Guardiola via Rijkaard and renamed tika-taka.
@@Ibnafrika Yeah Wenger also managed Arteta didn't he. All these players learning from the greats.
@@johnmitchell2269 I just like to see all the rungs on the ladder.
Liverpool fan but I love listening to arteta speak he’s very qualified and intelligent person
Went from quick fire questions to an interview lol
Carragher "Mikel, why didn't you get down the tunnel?"
As Rangers fan loved when he played for Rangers! if only he was a manager for Rangers 😁 but he's doing excellent job at Arsenal, all Arsenal fans are lucky to have him as manager
Brought up in his football youth on Cruyff's principles, played aside the likes of Ronaldinho is his first few years, follow that up by playing in the physical toughness of the Scottish League, premier league player and captain for around 10 years and then under the mentorship of Pep and a top top city side for 3 seasons
Then mentored by pep and David moyes
@@Deadmansworld14 Moyes getting a mention before Wenger is funny but i get your point haha. Great array of experiences to pull from
Great manager
And last season u wanted him out after the FIRST 3 games
The greatest of football managerial talent ❤
We are witnessing the upcoming of a great manager!
Great interview.
Our super mik Arteta was inspired by the likes of Ronaldinho and Okocha.
Brilliant
Truth be told even as an Arsenal supporter I'd have been disappointed if he answered "North London" at 1:32. Dude's played in some seriously big games; North London at Arsenal, Old Firm at Rangers, Basque Derby at Real Sociedad, and Merseyside at Everton. That's like four of the top ten most known derbies in the world.
The old firm is the biggest of all of them, for a variety of different reasons; history, religion, culture, politics, astmosphere etc.
@@leeriddick7 Wasn't comparing the four. Just knew that the Basque and Old Firm were more intense than North London and Merseyside.
@@leeriddick7 who do you support
He will become one of the greatest managers off all time he's already on the way there now what he's done for my amazing team is unbelievable
What's he done
Chill lol I’m an Arsenal fan but let’s take it one step at a time. We’ve not won anything besides the FA cup and not finished top 4 yet. I love the guy but we need to slow down.
@@paulrogers2711 Got a team who hasn't won a league title in 22 years, competing with powerhouses like City and Liverpool, won an FA cup in his first few months as full time manager, and won multiple league titles and trophies as the number 2 along side one of the greatest managers ever.
If that's not enough, in such a short career so far, to say he definitely has the potential, then I don't know what does.
@@liammccolgan5706hes done nothing
@@paulrogers2711 You here to tell us about how ''You'' selflessly ran in and saved a baby from a burning building in comparison?
Ey, Top of the league, dark horse, City top level management enquiring why tf the sale of their players to Arsenal stands in the table results now?
You done a comment on a RUclips video 👀
Very sound and precised
Love this manager ❤
Mikel is a very smart man !!
Never had any doubts with this man.
Influenced by cruyff, captained under Wenger, mentored by Pep, he’s cooking
Love this guy man ❤
Forget the manager, what a fantastic career as player
Well spoken guy who knows what he is speaking
Love the fact he still shows respect for Rangers, Arsenal have chosen the right boss
If we win the league I’ll build a statue of Mikel in my home and worship him each blessed day

Mikel Arteta We Love 💕
Mikel is right - you cannot copy and paste in sports that evolve. The NFL is a great example, it used to be all about rushing yards, running backs, QB's really only ever threw the ball. Now you have Josh Allen, Patrick Maholmes, Justin Fields etc all often running in touchdowns. The Punt returners are nowhere near the Devin Hester level. So in 15 years it's changed a lot. Same as our game, defence is not in the main, by keeping the ball and wearing down the opponent.
It's a lovely analogy lost on 97.2% of the people in these comments.
I'm British but I grew up a Giants Fan in Queens,NY so I totally get this.
Agree 100%, good example
@@Revelian1982 that I ruined ya mams starfish?
@@simonc9874 it’s so funny that loads of people will write that analogy off because of the mention of the NFL but it’s literally the perfect example of how much the game changes and how the best teams find ways to adapt to it
He brought back Victoria Concordia Crescit.. victory through harmony 🔴⚪
Seriously quick fire questions these
is this part 2 of the interview or just something extra? still looking for the part 2
I don't care if Arsenal finish top, second or third or even fourth. This man has reviewed the club. He has shown that Arsenal can and will compete for titles!
Is there a part 3 where he discussed Xhaka and perhaps other players in the squad please?
Seems so since Metro already released a good remarks on xhaka by Arteta.
that was def very quickfire bro!!
I would wish for a part after arsenal wins the league this season with Jamie. He is a fan
i love arteta my manager!!!!!!!
It's hilarious how rival fans lack so much perspective when it comes to what Mikel has already achieved in his time as manager at Arsenal
Is this the part 2???
Arsenal has got a manager for the next decade if they treat him right! Let's hope they get the cash out for this guy to take it to the next level. City fan but it's good to see Arsenal back on top was a huge team growing up
He played with Ronaldinho and Okocha, you easily forget
Also sagaloo as well 😮
mikel has grown into the job
So many people saying what he has done at Arsenal in such a short time is incredible. Majority of them weren't ready to give him even half the amount of that time and when someone put a point that he needs around 3-4 years transform the club it was considered too long by them. Nobody understood Arteta's potential and magnitude of how far Arsenal had fallen.
He's had long enough, he needs to produce now.
I never knew he played alongside Ronaldinho and okocha
Loved Arteta at The Famous! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
He has some insane untapped potential
Super Mik and his wisdom… again!❤️
Really likeable man.. from a Liverpool fan
Australian cricket at 7:15 ?. Would love to know who that is . Justin Langer ?
I don't think sandpaper would be of much use on football right?
He mentioned okocha😍
