Wes Brown MAN UTD LEGEND I drove past his house in Prestbury years ago on my birthday with my gf at the time, i thought id knock on & see if he was there. He only opened up his big electric gates for me and invited me into his drive upto his front door & gave me some signed stuff. Still gives me goosebumps today. What a genuine amazing human you are brother . Big up wes ✌️ great interview lads
He was a fantastic right back & centre half at times. That boy could tackle. He was confident on the ball going forward & was a great defender, he played with his heart. I saw him play many times home & away with United. I’ve never met him, but he sounds like a very grounded bloke who has no ego. Wish him all the best for his future. He might have lost a few quid but he’s got his dignity & that’s worth far more….
@@SleutherStrodewow, what a sad and pathetic comment to make. Does it make you happy to mock his misfortune or is the fact you’re just jealous because he achieved in 10 years what you couldn’t in 10 lifetimes!
Wes I don’t think you will see this but you are brave here. I thought Ben pushed hard on your personal issue and you stayed brave. That stuff doesn’t leave you and reminds you every day how awful you should feel. You’ve learnt to shelf it and that’s brave. Well done buddy I hope you see this and please keep living for the day
What a humble, likeable, honest guy. A great professional who appreciates his past and loved his journey. What an experience to play with the best players in the world at the time. Thank you for sharing and i hope you are giving some of your time back to the next generation of young footballers in some way.. your experience would be so valuable for the young players of today
Woow this Wes is soo articulate and thoughtful.. this is one of the most insightful interviews I’ve listened to with an ex pro.. I wish him the very best
Re: which Treble side was better; people forget the group United had to qualify from (Bayern and Barca were in it), the route to the CL final (Inter and Juventus), the route to the FA Cup Final (Liverpool, Chelsea (twice), and Arsenal (twice), as well as winning the League on the final day (against Tottenham).
There articles out there. Comparing the spending of premier league clubs. Lots of clubs ahead of Man UTD. I think it was Newcastle top. Which was a surprise. But, they used to splash out a lot on big signings and still won nothing 🤣🤣🤣
Really nice guy Wes, took abit of stick at times for some of his performances but a quality player on his day trying to fight for his place in a team of monsters during a golden age, he’d probably walk into the man utd defence these days lol.
Man united legend wes thanks for the memories seen him a few times round alty great interview glad he's so positive about it all good luck for the future
Great lad wes, a local lad, who lived all our dreams. Very good patient player. Most clubs would have a wes brown type character the local lad thats always on the fringes of the starting eleven and could be relied upon when called. They dont exist in the prem anymore
Top guy, seems very genuine. Didn’t splash the cash, but might as well have. I hope he can climb back up and keep living a good life. Surround yourself with honest people Wes
My favourite football player!! Man I miss watching you play Wes, I regret not being able to watch you live & your last stint at Kerala Blasters. I miss you mate, your gameplay inspired my seniors and I, at high school, to never give up!! Thank you Wes!!
Huge respect to Wes a likable personality great footballer still can’t forget the performances he put up during big games especially the ucl final goal assist
I really like this kinda interviews😊. I meet Wes in Trondheim Norway at 3Lions a football pub in Trondheim, i wanted to say hi and ask for his autograph but i diden’t because he had so much people arround him and i dident want to bother him, i hope he comes back and maybe i can say hi this time 😊. Take care Wes, you are a Man U legend for sure 😊
I rescued Wes some time ago. A group of hoodlums were hassling him in KMart where he was trying on track pants. "Oi, you lot I bellowed, leave Wes alone" next thing they attacked me with machetes and bicycle chains. I fought them off easily, so Wes asked for my autograph. I gave it to him and also took him for a pie 'n pint. "Thanks Jim", said Wes, "you're a top fellow". Well, he has a point, hasn't he?
I remember a game v Arsenal at Old Trafford in 02/03, we desperately needed to win & were decimated by injuries. He hit Henry with an absolute monster of a tackle & the crowd celebrated it like a goal. It lifted the whole stadium, we won the game & went on to win the league. 🎵With Orange hair beware, come & have a go if you dare🎵
Seems really grounded. Love the ending - do you have any socials or anything you want to shout out - "no". Very refreshing to hear. Wishing him the best for the future.
Im a Liverpool supporter,agree with Wes ,Wayne Rooney was a great footballer,I rate him as one of me top players I ever seen live,and I had a season ticket at Anfield back in them days,so I've seen some great players here in England and over in Europe,Henning Berg and Ronny Johnson both played in me Norwegian fellas club Lilestrom,before joining man united,both won the treble and both x Lilestrom players.
I met Wes in JFK in 2015. After Rooney refused a picture with me because he apparently '"Had to Go", I was only delighted that Wes obliged and wished me a safe flight. Top man.
It's a shame what happened to Wes. He was trying to please his ex lap dancer wife who coincidentally left him once he became broke. He was no way earning enough money to buy a house for £5-6 million. Rio Ferdinand recently said some of the players he played with are seriously broke now and I guessed he was referring to Wes Brown.
£50,000 a week for four years (age of 28) = over 10million (50x52x4 = 10400. X1000= 10,400,000) . He was on 31k a week for years before he was 28. He could easily afford a 6mil house.

@@jackcollins7061superb mate you have absoutley smoked this clueless dude here😂😂
@user-ee7nz8hr6e Had he got a cheaper home he probably would have ended up in the same spot. He's not fiscally responsible and chose the wrong spouse.
Huge United fan here - these kind of players (Wes Brown, O’Shea, Fletcher, Park Ji-Sung etc.) are exactly the kind of players that we’re missing at the moment. Players that give everything they’ve got in every moment in a United shirt and less of these lazy, drama queens like Martial, Rashford and Sancho!!
Would’ve liked a few more questions about the actual night in Moscow. How often do you get to hear about a magical night like that from someone who made it happen. You’re a fucking legend Wes, we’ll love you forever ❤❤
There are different kinds of broke,you are correct, there's Im homeless broke,and then there's I used to be wealthy,now Im just middle class broke, not the same@@joshd790

Such a stoic, honest and deep chap. Hope it all works out for him. Seems like a top man.
He’s fantastic. Never heard him speak before. Great memory. Very articulate. Please give him a pundit job on Sky. He’s got the stats.
He works for MUTV and other international sports broadcasters

He’s on MUTV alll the time .. 😂

Roy Keane must have loved Wes. A no frills, tough tackling level headed warrior. Forever a United legend.
The ultimate good lad.
Level headed…, yes sure that’s why is tax dodging got him declared bankrupt. He’s a real genius.
@@SleutherStrodewow, what a sad and pathetic comment to make. Does it make you happy to mock his misfortune or is the fact you’re just jealous because he achieved in 10 years what you couldn’t in 10 lifetimes!
Yeah, nice chap - that what Roy would say
Hugely underrated. Best tackler at the club in his time. Nobody could time a tackle like Wes!
Comes off as a genuine person, great interview
Erm they are normal people just play football for a living.
@AD82_23 what has do canio got to do with it?
What a bloody great guy.
Wes should do much more of these.
Very personable and likeable.
Great interview, Ben 👌🏼
Never thought too much of him when he was at united but pleasently suprised, like his honesty and seems like a top fella
Wes Brown is great, so humble and positive. Of all the players I would not like to see go bankrupt, it’s him. Top guy.
His attitude is amazing. No wonder he made it and survived in that successful era!
What an impressive bloke, didn't know much about Wes so happy I watched. Huge respect for Wes and his career. The ending is classic ..... top man !
Thank you for your service and helping to bring us the glory days Wes ❤
Wes was a top Man Utd player, loved him as the right back in 08 season!
Wow…not a Man U fan but what an honest and articulate person…totally changed my view on Wes……hope all goes well in his future…I’m sure it will. 👍🏽👍🏽
A true gentleman and legend of football

Cry me. Fucking river. Dude was caught tax dodging just like Jimmy Carr and when it came on top he couldn’t pay the Inland Revenue. It’s is fault.
Brilliant interview, Utd through and through, so respectful, I’d love to see Wes more on Tv, such a nice guy, top man.
What a down to earth and articulate guy, seems like a top bloke!
True, he'd be a decent pundit, if he hasn't tried already he should go that route
You’re not fooling anyone Wesley
Just watched randomly but got hooked. Very humble and honest man, I wish all the luck in the world. And I hope your finance is not too bad now

Love Wes. Great player and top guy!
Just found your channel, very good interview. 👏
Fantastic player. Overcame two bad cruciate knee injuries, early in his career, too, but still went on to do great things.
What a genuine and nice guy Wes appears to be
Wes was absolute Nails.
Seems a crackin lad too.
His cross for Ronnies header in ‘08 was perfect%.

for some reason i always liked him as a player, even though i didn’t watch him. whenever i see old matches.
"Wes Brown the Hardest Man in Town"! Great listen and I hope his future is bright - always part of the YANITED family! 1❤ MUFC
Funny how his wife leaves him after he went bankrupt...never trust them
Says the adult virgin
The amount of divorces that happen when a player retires or becomes broke.
I don’t think he’s broke
They always seemed happy when players not around. When they retire they then need to do family life without the thousands a week they would have had.

Seems like a genuine guy
Not a United fan, quite the opposite in fact, but what a career this bloke had. Every great team needs players like Wes Brown in the squad.
Seems a good guy. Great answers.
Only thing I dislike is “what is the worst coach, player, signing you have had/seen” questions
He was a great player. Sad what happened, but this should be a learning curve for him regarding women and money.
Comes across as a really decent bloke. Enjoyed it👍
Brilliant player not many ever got the better of him on his day
Like Wes and seems like God fella, can't stand utd as support Arsenal have for 40yrs but respect this lad
Massive respect to Wes for being open and honest will always be a legend !!
Well spoken guy
Seems like a really good guy, I think I'd be raging if I lost that amount of money and be looking for someone to blame.
Wes had the game of his life against barca in semi of champions league at OT. When Scholes scored
Nice lad it waz hopefully you will be back on top 👌👌
