Sheffield Wednesday's Dom Iorfa on his United neighbours and Steel City derby memories

Transcript

00:00Yeah, a little bit. So I've got a few of my neighbours actually, Sheffield fans. So and

00:05one of our electrician who came to the house the other day is a Sheffield fan. But, um,

00:09but other than that, other than from the locals that live near me, not so much to be fair.

00:14I mean, I've said what I've been to. When I went to service yesterday, it was just full

00:18of Wednesday fans. When I went to a coffee shop as well for the Wednesday fans, I haven't

00:22actually come across maybe there is but maybe they just don't want to say anything to me.

00:25I don't know. It could be that. But luckily, it's all been positive so far. My first start

00:31was in the Derby years, many years ago, such a long time ago now. But so, so again, that

00:37was my first start for the obviously for the club. And so I've got good memories in that

00:41walking out and I remember it was the atmosphere that was surprised because I knew it was like

00:45from a football fan, obviously from outside. So I knew that it was a big game. But I didn't

00:51realise how big and how important it was to the city until I joined the club. So walking

00:55out of Hillsborough, that first game, and just listen just to the atmosphere. It was

00:59like wow, that's what I realised. You realise how big the Derby actually is. So I've got

01:05good memories in terms of that, just in terms of the atmosphere more than anything, to be

01:08fair. And the two games I played, such as what we said earlier, they've been pretty

01:12close games. I think the first game, I think it was nil-nil. This one obviously we lost

01:151-0. They've been two tight games. So my memories of just the atmosphere just being really good

01:20and just them being really close competitive games.
