00:00He was just like, like, my energies, you know, I mean, I just feel as if, and this is going
00:05to be the end, and let's try and finish it positively, and we tried our best, but.
00:09Could you see the energy dropping in him?
00:12I think you could see it taking his toll on him, I mean, you could see it taking his toll
00:16on him in terms of, he probably wasn't the same person around the training ground, not in a bad way,
00:22like, he was the most sociable person ever.
00:24Like, I always remember when I first walked into the training ground, like, first, I was like, he would be
00:28sitting, and, like, he would sit down at a table, and we had big, long tables, and he'd sit down,
00:33and just people would filter around.
00:34You would have the green keeper, you would have, you know, the kit man, you would then have a player,
00:38you would, and by the time he finished his meal, the whole table would be full.
00:42And I think by the end, like, everyone would still love him and adore him, and he'd still have time
00:47for everyone, but you could see that taking its toll on him, do you know what I mean?
00:50Like, every single day, being that person, being the father figure in the training ground, being the energy, and I
00:57think he definitely stepped away at the right time for him.
