00:07and obviously got the call and said okay I can divert and go into London because that's where

00:11we met and I got to Gardie North and obviously my lad, if you've seen my lad on some of the pictures

00:18he obviously looks like me, he's my son obviously and it was early in the morning and I looked at

00:24the passport and I just took his and left his because he flew home with me mate then. I get to the

00:28station the guy's looking at me as if to say this isn't you and I'm thinking he's going to take the

00:33passport off me or give me it back to my son after jumping a taxi back to the hotel change the passport

00:38come back and then good enough to change the train for that hour later I got on it

00:43yeah so we actually we actually made it just in time to get a Starbucks yeah but no it was

00:49again I was pleased to get it done of course that you know once the call come there was

00:54no brainer it actually gave me a little bit of a you know a bit of light at the end of the tunnel

00:59just watch Liverpool win I thought this is a good home and this and then now I'm coming home to speak

01:02to him and it was yeah it was a real buzz but I got there in safe hands. I went to watch Liverpool

01:24certainly what we did so no it was a it was a pleasure to get the call off Greg to come and

01:28speak to Greg and the ownership group and you know and then show me what they're about and then after

01:34the weekend me show what I'm about and what I believe in and what we can do and obviously led to

01:39you know them offering me the job and it was a no-brainer and there was obviously other

01:44opportunities out there but I felt that this was the perfect fit for me for Greg I think the

01:50relationship we've got and the ownership group and the football club are where we feel we can

01:54take it in the near future.
