honestly no matter what club you support seeing these legends of the game just talk about football is the best thing on youtube by a mile
-
Stam,Cafu,Nesta and Maldini was one of the best defensive line ups ever!
-
The amount of respect that Roy Keane has for Jaap should say it all. Very rare to see Roy give so much respect to another player. A true professional and a great defender. Also, clearly a very thoughtful player and manager.
-
Roy Keane is coming out of his shell and I’m so here for it. What a personality!
-
Gary and Keano singing "Yip Jaap Stam" in front of Jaap Stam is just lovely :)
-
Warms my heart seeing Roy singing the Stam chant, it just goes to show how much he valued the Dutchman and that he'd listen to the fans and enjoy their chants and shows he's got a fun side😂
-
Even as a liverpool fan this episode was brilliant. Love the chemistry between Ian Wright,Keane, Neville and carragher. Jaap stam as well is a legend. So informative this episode. Class
-
Gutted when Stam left United, but I did get to see him play at the San Siro for Milan and he was immense. He won every aerial challenge that came his way, just incredible.
-
I have never seen Roy Keane so excited just for another guest on the show
-
As a centre half growing up this was an incredible insight. Jaap was a colossal defender
-
I love how authentic this show is!! Love the banter before the show starts and even the bit where wrighty goes to the toilet. Just a genuinely brilliant bunch of guys having great conversations
-
Love Jaap, the best CB to play in the premier league. Made me smile when he mentioned Ronnie Johnsen a vastly underrated footballer
-
That chant in the end by Gary and Roy is pure class. Shows how much Jaap was valued and the respect he has earned. Edit: “demands” removed. Thanks guys for correcting me. #ggmu
-
Good to hear Ronnie Johnsen get the credit he deserves. Always thought he was criminally underrated.
-
Roy Keane's ability to hold a grudge is legendary. He still feels it as raw as if it were yeserday whereas big Jaap seems to have left it in the past😂
-
I remember when Jaap joined United. What a beast of a defender. He was at his peak too. Love this episode!
-
Was gut wrenching when I heard Jaap was gone.... and I have to say it wasn't until we got Vidic that I felt we had a worthy hard man to replace him. But to this day, from supporting Utd from the 70's, Jaap is still one of my favourite all time players that embodied power, respect, professionalism and hard as nails.
-
Whoever idea it was to include the interaction before the show starts is a genius! Great call, great show 👏 👍
-
Loved Staam, he come across as an absolute terrifying warrior on the pitch but a well-spoken lad off it. His rampaging forward runs were a sight to behold. My biggest memory is when he was playing for in the euro2000 and had a cut to his eyebrow, and he received stitches on the sideline without even flinching and hopped back on right after.
-
I cannot express how grateful I am that this show exists. With the way football stands in 2023, the tone, calibre of talent and talking points are right on the money. What made football so great and what we hope it gets back to is sat around that table for me. Great show fellas!
