00:00I know you aren't talking about players that may or may not believe, but obviously we know Andy Roberts and
00:05he's going to depart at the end of the season and I'm sure the club will make lovely tributes to
00:10him when he gets to that point as well.
00:11Just from our perspective, I personally don't want to get it all lost at the end of the season and
00:17given that he's been here such a long time and such a great player, I'm just wondering if you can
00:22give us a few thoughts on exactly what he's done here and what he means and what a gap he
00:28would potentially leave behind.
00:32I think he's one of them, maybe the player that changed that position in two words, into a player that
00:42constantly goes up and down and up and down, I think we all, and I said this before, we all
00:49remember the clip where he started to press from left full-back, ended up at the right wing and went
00:53again, I think many, many, many, many managers showed that at that time to their players,
00:59I was one of them, to show what a mentality and what an intensity he played with, and I think
01:06throughout this whole period he played with that intensity, he's becoming a full-back that, like I said, constantly went
01:14up and down and be important on both sides of the pitch, where back in the old days defenders mainly
01:20had to defend.
01:22He's one of the full-backs that changed that position to do both, and apart from that he's a great
01:29human being, I think I've experienced that in the two years I'm working with him and I think every fan
01:35recognises what I say when we see social media posts or in other moments when he's just playing and he
01:41always gives his best for the club, on and off the pitch.
01:46So he's been a very influential player for this club, on the pitch, but definitely also in the dressing room.
