00:00It was the toughest decision I've ever had to make, you know.

00:03A, I didn't have to make the one when I was 15, my dad did it for me.

00:06But yeah, I was vice-captain, Morgz's captain, but more often than not,

00:11I played as captain of that club that gave me an opportunity.

00:15Stuff that had gone on as well, which never has gone on since,

00:19or whatever, we ended up going down on goal.

00:20And totally out of your control.

00:21Yeah, yeah.

00:22And I remember leaving and just, leaving that game after that game

00:27and thinking, what's going to go on now?

00:28Yeah.

00:29Obviously, I'd signed a contract.

00:31I knew there was a relegation-release clause in there.

00:33Again, it worked for both teams because obviously now I'd had a taste

00:38of the Premier League.

00:38Yeah.

00:39And I think I'd just had an England B call-up.

00:42Yeah.

00:43Yeah, I think so.

00:43So, I was on the periphery, I was obviously climbing to the periphery

00:46and potentially playing more in the Premier League.
