Diogo Jota mural at the Leaping Wolf pub, Wolverhampton
Transcript
00:00Hi, I'm Daniel, one of the managers here at the Leaping Wolf on water road in Wolverhampton, near the Astor, near the Molyneux, with a last goal spot to come and have a drink or some food before you take your family and friends to the match.
00:17And obviously everyone's a bit sad, my commiserations to the family of Jotter, but Mr. Joel behind me doing the artwork, artwork by Joel online, decided to look for a spot to do a memorial for Jotter, and we seen him on Facebook and we said, we've got the perfect spot, we've got a big massive black wall, not far from the Molyneux,
00:45next to the Leaping Wolf, which is a wolf's home pub, and he couldn't have done it, well it's not done yet, it'll be done by Friday hopefully, if he keeps up to date, obviously he might run into problems, but already as you can see, he's only been on it two days and he's already looking brilliant, the wolf was in a bad state before he started, so there was a lot of preparation, you can see sketches out where he needs to put which colour wear, he's very professional, he knows what he's doing,
01:15and I think it's good for the community, all come together, I mean when the tragedy happened, we've seen a lot of people come round here, not just Wolf fans, Liverpool fans, Manchester fans,
01:26the football community just came together, because a young lad lost his life, and everyone pulled together, because football is a better community, it's not always about arguing with another team, at the end of the day it's a game and we all should support each other, yes you have your banter,
01:44but there's a line, but there's a line, and everyone has supported Jota, not just here in Wolverhampton, in Liverpool they've done some murals as well, which have already been completed, so you know, it's about, like I said, not just to the Wolf fans,
02:00to his family, that people appreciated him, so it shows that, you know, we've got respect to him, so I just think it's a good project, and it's been hard work getting it all together,
02:10with the drawing properties to ourselves, but we managed to get it sorted, as you can see, we're getting all the area cleaned up, and making it all nice, ready for the reveal, hopefully Friday evening, and we're hopefully going to have to BBQ and everything.
