Great Goals, Iconic Moments & The Top Transfers In Football History! | Stick to Football EP 124

In short

Stick to Football EP124 is a roundtable debate on iconic Premier League goals, transfers, and football “moments,” plus a few off-topic lifestyle chats. The hosts argue over the hardest and most beautiful Premier League finishes, repeatedly citing Marco van Basten’s volley, Paolo Di Canio’s volley, Robin van Persie’s title-winning volley vs Manchester United, Dennis Bergkamp’s Newcastle goal, and Wayne Rooney’s bicycle kick. Notable examples include Di Canio’s “Caneos” technique, Bergkamp’s manufactured chance off a bad pass, and Suarez’s overhead/long-control finish vs Newcastle. They also rank top Premier League moments (Aguero’s QPR title winner, Leicester’s 2016 title, Cantona’s kung-fu kick) and discuss stadium favorites (Old Trafford, Anfield, Highbury/Villa Park).

Guests

Gary Lineker, Wayne Rooney, and Roy Keane (plus “Waza”/“Gary” references throughout).

2:12Ian Wright: Ain't got no Bob Marley on there. Pure love for Bob. These are Bob.

2:16Gary Neville: What does a modern day's football birthday look like? Bongo Bingo. But what is different about it? Because I used to go to bingo with my nan. I don't get the feeling. That's what we're talking about here. I could score the Caneos in training. Gary. you wouldn't have been good at stopping it, never mind doing it. If you've got 20 balls in there now... What do you can do? I could do that as a sort of... I could get it right once. Don't do that again. No. Stick to Football is brought to you by Arm Clothing. The next thing is a top three, and we're going to go the top three Premier League goals of all time.

2:50Gary Neville: Oh, goals. And I'm going to give you the contenders. The Wayne Rooney bicycle kick. Dennis Bergkamp versus Newcastle. round the corner oh yeah Palo Di Canio volley versus that has to be in there I don't care that has to be in there Jack Wilshere team goal versus Norwich was a beauty it was a good one though 5-0 against Norwich the occasion has to come into it Tony Eboa volley versus Liverpool it was good it was good Thierry Henry versus Manchester United when he turns and hits it no that was Dennis no that's not good Sung Young Min solo goal versus Burnley yeah have they got Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cristiano Ronaldo versus Portsmouth.

3:31Gary Neville: Is that the free kick? Free kick. Yeah.

3:32Ian Wright: Have they got Suarez on there against Everton?

3:34Gary Neville: Matt Atissier versus Newcastle. Is that the one where he... He flicks it over. Yeah, yeah. It's a nice goal, but like... David Beckham, halfway line goal against Wimbledon. Yeah, great goal. You got on them as well, didn't you? Yeah, that West Ham one. Two. Two, how do you get two of those? There's one that he'd done at Everton as well. Did you?

3:50Ian Wright: Oh, yeah, the one that... When he drove it. I love that one better. The one where you drove.

3:54Gary Neville: Robin Van Persie volley versus Villa. That's the best one. That's the best goal. Who scores his? Josephine. That was Robin Tattery. To win the Premier League. That was the best one. Whose was? Have you ever seen a goal that Waza assisted on in America? Oh, the one when he chased back. No, the one where he... Yeah, chased back.

4:12Ian Wright: Yes, he chased back, won it, then put it in the box. And then the lad... He had it, the lad.

4:16Gary Neville: I think that's one of the best goals I've seen. It was offside, though. It's Lewis. Was it? What was he give it? He gave it, but I think it was offside. Howard Webb was in charge of the referees. No, it's fine. And he couldn't get it in line. The camera in line.

4:27Ian Wright: Gary I need to ask is Luis Suarez against Newcastle on there no you can add to it

4:31Gary Neville: if you want what was the last one you just mentioned that you were arguing about Villa Robby's one personally versus Villa the one where he remember Scoles he scored at Middlesbrough and the one with I know he scored a pretty one against Villa at Bradford Scoles scored at Villa no I think his goal against Middlesbrough I don't know he just come on this side his right foot I've just thought of another one by the way yours against Newcastle has got one of the best the one when he was vexed the one when you was vexed he's angry that's my assist that's my sister are you laughing at are you throwing

4:58Ian Wright: you forward yeah pass it forward Aguero's goal for the meaning no no for the meaning no not for the meaning for me the best goal Premier League is Van Persie's one I don't know against Villa the Canio's so he was that good the Canio's goal the Canio's goal on this side he's right footed Giroud the Scorpio I know that's a fluke you know the thing you know the thing Ganacho Ganacho against Everton no yeah Can I just say with the Caneos, is that when you watch it, especially for him to jump off the ground and catch it in the air perfectly with the volley and the goalkeeper's going across, it's magnificent.

5:36Ian Wright: Who was the goalkeeper? I think it was Wimbledon's crossfit. Yeah, obviously he would be. Hans Sullivan. Well done, Waza. You're on fire. Nice one. Do you think Bergkamp meant his one? It's not a case of... It's not mint. Bergkamp against Newcastle or Leicester. Did he score a couple of brilliant ones against Leicester? That's amazing. You see the one you're talking about? Like, why that one has to make it, Burkett? It's not been done before, it's not been done after. And the way he reacted in the moment, his speed, his speed of thought. I was speaking to him not long ago and how he just manufactured that situation, offered a touch.

6:06Ian Wright: He says the touch was bad. I mean, the ball was bad from Robert Perez. It was behind him, so he had to reach it. But then he realised when he touched it, he can't turn that way. And he said what he loves about it more than anything else was the quickness of thought to make, well, I can't go that way, I'm going to go this way. The touch was perfect, and then the finish was beautiful. It was a bad touch. Well, it wasn't a bad touch, it was a bad ball. Because he had to stretch the touch. Sparky? Yeah. Sparky must have got a couple of volleys in there. Giggsie? Can't stop a chip. Chip against Funderland, yeah.

6:33Ian Wright: No, the celebration was better than the goal. With the collar. I need my ones in there. I don't know. But like... Was your chip against Arsenal? You had a few against Arsenal. One where it was underneath your feet, was that lead? The one I chipped there? Oh, sick of hearing about that goal. One where it was stuck underneath your feet. Yeah, I remember. Okay, let's check.

6:53Gary Neville: Which is technically... Look at my life. Which is technically, do you think, the goal that would be most difficult to score... The Caneos. The Caneos. The Caneos and that goalie. Do you remember the Caneos? I could score the Caneos, but I couldn't score the Bergkamps. I could score the Caneos in training. You couldn't score anything. Gary. Gary. I'm telling you.

7:11Ian Wright: Gary, I'm telling you. You're hard to turn the head. The hardest two, I think, is the Caneo and Skolze's one. Skolze's one. Is it the... Yes, that one. If you put 20 balls in, I could do that.

7:25Gary Neville: If you put 20 balls in there now... Somewhere you can do. I could do that as a sort of... I could get it right once. Don't do that again, please. You know something. You don't look like you've even played sports. You look like a schoolteacher.

7:37Ian Wright: Honestly, just the fact that you're saying... Again, we've not seen that goal in that form since he's done it. I've not seen it again in that one. You're on about De Caneos? Yeah, it's magnificent. It's magnificent. Same with Suarez. See the Suarez one. Can I just talk about the Suarez one? Please, let me talk about the Suarez one. Newcastle. It came from a... The ball came from down the corner. It must have come 50 yards. He controlled it on his chest here, over his shoulder. Then it went down, clicked it round the culprit, put it in the goal. One of the best goals I've ever seen. It was just like beautiful.

8:09Gary Neville: I think, Joe, was his overhead kick? I don't think I could have scored that. Not a debate. I couldn't have scored that. You couldn't have scored it, I don't think, and I don't think you could. I don't think you'd be able to get the elevation He's that high off the ground by the way The ground from like a metre How old am I?

8:26Ian Wright: How old am I to not reach? I'm fucking What are you talking about? I'm fucking 50 or something Of course if the ball's there You're going to get it

8:33Gary Neville: No right I never saw you as an overhead kick guy So I think Waz's overhead kick is a goal I couldn't have scored Yes The decanio one I think I could have pulled it off a little bit You couldn't I nerve you Gary

8:46Ian Wright: You're deluded right now bro I am very humble, as you know, about my career.

8:50Gary Neville: I know you're humble, but for you to choose one of the hardest goals and one of the best goals I've ever seen in a Premier League... It's a great goal, but I just think it's a volley where he just does that at the back. It looks easy. It's the angle he's at. And it goes across to goalkeeper on that side. It's true. It's not like it's coming there and he's got a volley. You're hitting the ball and you mean to do it in some ways. He's meant to hit that elevation and then hit it with the outside of his foot. You wouldn't be able to think of all that in one. And it's not disrespectful.

9:16Ian Wright: so that oh that's gone through his head on the way the Bergkamp goal Gary you wouldn't have been good

9:20Gary Neville: at stopping it never mind doing it Gary tell me what you're saying about the Bergkamp goal I could never have done so that's a goal I could never have which one against Leicester or Newcastle Newcastle won the World Race flips it around the corner that's a special goal it doesn't happen it doesn't happen the Cristiano Ronaldo free kick from 40 yards where he hits it like that who's the goalkeeper David James I couldn't have done that one I'm not a joke

9:43Ian Wright: I think that was amazing

9:44Gary Neville: again that was amazing because I don't agree with you on the Van Persie volley as much as I love the goal and the significance of it I'm not asking you to agree I'm just saying that for me that's my favourite goal The thing with that as well is that what we're doing is we're kind of belittling great goals I know what happened Again that ball comes from like No no we worked on it in training because we worked on it then it was for this hat trick it was to win the Premier League for me the whole thing How far was you? How far was it?

10:10Ian Wright: Okay fair enough Wayne how far was the ball you put 40 yards? 60 Thank you 60 yards on the volley over his shoulder landing bam yeah

10:20Gary Neville: I've seen goals

10:21Ian Wright: like that before bro you've got no risk I've changed my type I could do it what I'm saying is like what he's angling here is to just get Bex's the best goal no Bex's

10:35Gary Neville: free kick Bex's corners to Scholes where they volley it that's a great goal but it's something like the Van Persie one it's a long range ping with a volley I've seen that before it's not that's coming towards Scolzi this one is going over Van Piersy's head it's over his shoulder altogether I know but he's got that nice movement Robin anyway he can just I don't volley the ball coming at you is way easier than volleying it over your head yeah the timing there has got to be

11:01Ian Wright: because you lose sight of the ball you almost lose sight of the ball and you know the thing with De Cano's as well it's the kind of chance that he could have taken a touch of his left and finished with his right so if he's taking on a chance where people would say

11:12Gary Neville: what were you doing OK, well, I mean, look, I'm the least qualified around this table to talk about goal scoring. What about your goal against Middlesbrough? Yes, it's a great strike. I wouldn't put that in. Right, are you all fixed on... What's your top one? I'd probably go with De Canio. Oh. De Canio. Oh. Mine's Van Persie's one. Right, OK, so De Canio's number one. Number two. I'm sorry, I'm going to go for the number one, by the way, would be... I'd probably go Bergkamp or the bicycle kick.

11:41Ian Wright: You know why I wouldn't go with Bergkamp, and I do love him, obviously, is because when he explained to me that the pass was bad, he didn't do that on purpose. He manufactured it off of a bad pass and then he'd done it. The canyos is something that you can go and practice. You can't practice that, Dennis.

11:58Gary Neville: That's the bit that's hard, isn't it? You can't practice that. The execution of the canyos. I could see 50 players in training practice the canyos one, right? And two or three might be able to do it. the Bergkamp one I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that type of thing I've never seen anyone practice canyels one what the thingy no I'm not Gary what is it going on the one if you're working on volleys and training on that one you go with your left foot yeah but you do you sometimes see people like do their little yeah yeah but not as a set up they might do it

12:30Ian Wright: every now and once in a while and say no Gary it's the it's the execution I don't like the fact that I'm not getting it through to you that this is an unbelievable finish.

12:38Gary Neville: I'm going to retire my opinion on this subject and leave it with you. So you've got De Canio number one. I don't think it's the greatest Premier League goal ever but it's going in there. I'll put it in there. Number two. Bergkamp. Bergkamp number two. What are you going to go with? Do you want to go with Rob? I'm going Scalzi against Middlesbrough. I just love that goal. I would go Scalzi against Villa before Middlesbrough. The Villa one where you were saying before about my volley against Newcastle. The Villa one's the same and I would come from really a lot higher but that one for Scolzi for myself for players who used to play it it's not a hard technique yours and Garnaccio's bicycle kicks are better than Scolzi's one at I disagree because that's part of luck again you don't really practice bicycle kicks and so you get a bit I must have tried it a hundred times and you catch one so for me that's part of luck I think for me second would be Scolzi's and third would be Bex's from the halfway second yeah I'm happy to go with Scolesy against Middlesbrough.

13:39Gary Neville: What, the one that rolls across to him? Rolls across to him. That is when you're 12-12 at technique. Did I pass that to him? No, I think it was me. Who passed the ball to Scolesy for that goal, by the way?

13:48Ian Wright: Was that the one who just drew... Against Middlesbrough. Coming in. I saw it there, you see. Who passed the goal? Even from the back of it, outside of the post. Just back in.

13:57Gary Neville: There. I passed that ball to him. That's an assist for you, then. It's an assist.

14:03Ian Wright: There you go. Get you done. There you go. you know what else there was another goal that weren't in there I won't say this but like remember Essien against Arsenal yeah oh yeah

14:12Gary Neville: that was great come behind the goal

14:15Ian Wright: honestly man it's just like

14:17Gary Neville: well we can start we can start a riot we can start a riot with everybody I remember Canoes one as well when he went round on Chelsea yeah yeah you know you practice

14:28Ian Wright: those in training and it's Drogba must have got

14:31Gary Neville: a couple of goals De Cano Scholes v Middlesbrough And then are we going Bergkamp 3? Yeah. Oh, the Rooney overhead kick. The way Wayne explained Van Prost, you wanted the importance of it. You said for the hat trick. I wouldn't go for that as a 3. That goal's not as good as the Bergkamp 1. I think it is. It's a great goal. For me, it's the best goal. It's a great goal.

14:54Ian Wright: I think the Bergkamp goal is a thing of beauty. A beautiful thing. I think so.

14:58Gary Neville: We'll never see again in that moment. I've never seen it since or before. You won't, neither. That's the thing. It's on YouTube. You can watch it. I'm going to go. We're going Bergkamp number three. We're going Bergkamp number three. So the top three Premier League goals ever are De Canio, What did you say? Scholes, Middlesbrough, Bergkamp. Can we just give Bex's halfway?

15:20Ian Wright: Because I remember... Amazing.

15:22Gary Neville: That's the most iconic goal. Because I remember... The most iconic goal. That brought Bex's on a level, didn't it?

15:28Ian Wright: Yeah, I kept hearing about it. When I saw it, and it's not like... Who was in goal for that? It's a Hans Sager. No, I think it's Sullivan again. No, Sullivan. Sullivan's basically... Yeah, but the thing about it is, for Beck, the ball was rolling.

15:41Gary Neville: Yeah, no, Beck's got that in his locker. I'd seen him do that in training a lot. He practised that a lot. So it's like, that was like...

15:47Ian Wright: People, again, understand the technique involved because, like, remember, the goalkeeper's only got three, four yards to maybe get back. For him to hit it from there, to beat, and it hit the back of the net, it didn't... It's magnificent. It was that one where you scored for Everton when he kicked it out and you drilled it back. I scored a better one in DC. The best one from... It was way inside my own half. It was miles better. You scored some good goals, you know. The keeper's gone for it as well. You know what, man? The goal as well to break the United record, the free kick. Remember the free kick?

16:18Ian Wright: And it just ran back. Your Newcastle goal's the best goal. Do you think so? It is.

16:23Gary Neville: No. To hit that like that from there. That was an assist from there. Yeah. That was pure anger. Right, OK. It is. Stick to Football is brought to you by Arm Clothing This segment is brought to you by Microsoft Co-Pilot as part of their partnership with the Premier League Let's ask the Premier League companion powered by Microsoft Co-Pilot Which England players have the most goals, assists and clean sheets this season?

16:49Ian Wright: Pickford Pickford's number one

16:52Gary Neville: Pickford's the goalkeeper, that's fine, makes sense which English forward or midfield player has scored the most goals? Danny Welbeck. Danny Welbeck. There are three players who are tied on assists. English players. No. No. Saka. No. Morgan Rodgers. He's second. Declan Rice. There's three players tied first. Morgan Rodgers is in the group that are second. Declan Rice, Jill said. No. Jill. Jamie said. I think this one's going to keep me guessing for a bit. But I mean, they're all really well-known players. I don't think too hard, but I just don't think you'd think maybe... Well, you're not thinking of them, are you?

17:32Gary Neville: That are in there. So they take set pieces, surely. Anthony Gordon or something like that, Newcastle. Harvey Barnes. No. You were harsh. And there's three. Gibbs White. No. Wow. Elliot Anderson. No. You're struggling there, aren't you? Yeah. Wharton. Wharton is level with Morgan Rodgers in second. So there's three players top. There's three players top. You've not named one of them yet. Not Elliot. English player with assists. Elliot Anderson, no. They're assists. They've got six assists. Saka. I'm going to say something. I said Saka. Oh, sorry. Doosby Hall. No. Is he English? Is Doosby Hall English?

18:08Gary Neville: I think he's, yeah. Is he? This is a really good question because it's flummoxed you. You're done. You're supposed to be world football. James Garner. Eh? James Garner. James Garner's one. Yeah, set pieces, yeah. And there's two more English players, prominent English players. For assists, this is for assists. This is assists. Oh, God. Are they attacking all centre midfielders? Do you need clues? Yeah. They're not strikers. OK.

18:39Someone for Bournemouth.

18:41Gary Neville: What about Bowen? Gerard Bowen. Come on, Jadzah. And the last one. The last one. No, I'm not giving him a clue. I'm not giving him a clue. You're not giving us a clue? No, I'm going to make you wait. O 'Reilly? You don't want a clue, do you? I was going to say O 'Reilly. Did he say attack? I think he said attack. I'm trying to think. He plays all over. If I give you a clue that, to be fair, I think it would give it away. There's no clue I can give you that I think you would. Is it like a... It's a big club. Is it a big club? Is it a big club or seven? It must be Tottenham. It must be Tottenham.

19:15Gary Neville: I'm not going to give it to you. I'm going to try to think of a clue that keeps it interesting. Because I think he... Is that a Brentford player or something like that? Is it? Is it a Northern club or a Southern club? This is not a player that you have to think hard about. Wow. This is like a prominent player. So we've said Cole Palmer, Saka, Foden, Anthony Gordon. Is he in the England squad? Can't tell us. He has been. OK. He has been. That's a big clue. Cobby Mairno? No. No, it's not Cobby.

19:53Gary Neville: Anybody else in the audience? I feel like somebody's got it. Yeah, they said Declan Rice, not Declan Rice. 20 minutes ago. I would have thought Declan Rice. 20 minutes ago. Northern Club or Southern Club? Somebody just walk him up. Who's from? Who said Jack Grealish? Can't be Jack, isn't it? Yes, Jack Grealish. Well done. He's been Rangers from Weeks. I know. Hang on a minute. Hang on a minute. Let it go quiet.

21:49Gary Neville: Right the top three Stadiums Premier League stadiums Like now or in the park The top three Premier League stadiums Number one is Tottenham's new one Has to be I think I think it's amazing The championship next year

22:06Ian Wright: Yeah favourite championship Yeah if we want to go for that No you'd have to go Hill Dickinson as well I'm fighting for Villa Park Yeah I love Villa Park I like Villa Park I'd be thinking straight away Old Trafford can we say are we going to say like Highbury Highbury yeah yeah Highbury and and Anfield you have to put it can I be honest as a player yeah it's true but for me Villa Park I love Villa Park and Sheffield Wednesday do you like Sheffield Wednesday I like Sheffield Wednesday as well I think it's because when you go out you're talking about iconic moments when the referee was pushed that was mad that was unbelievable that should have been yeah that was a huge moment that was funny

22:43Gary Neville: so you've got Old Trafford Anfield and Highbury yeah I used to like White Hart Lane as well so Emirates White Hart Lane Elland Road St James' Park Goodison Park Old Trafford Anfield

22:59Ian Wright: Anfield you have to mention Anfield you have to get mentioned

23:01Gary Neville: and Highbury the old Highbury Anfield would be in the top three I think Old Trafford and I'd have Highbury India

23:08Ian Wright: you have to have Highbury

23:10Gary Neville: or Villa Park Vidal Vidal

23:13Ian Wright: That was good. Remember that? You know what I used to love about the... You never played? The Nets. The Nets were like that thin. And you're that close to the... It's like QPR's goal used to be that thin as well. Go on, Gail, what was it? Do you know, we look back to football. I always remember going to... Remember back in the day when we played, we'd always go for a few drinks to a bar after the game with the opposition. You'd have a big chat with everybody. Yeah, every chat, yeah. It used to be nice back then.

23:36Gary Neville: Hybrid or Villa Park. I think I go Villa Park over Hybrid. I love Hybrid as well, though.

23:40Ian Wright: How can you love Hybrid and then go for Villa Park, then? You didn't say you love Villa Park.

23:44Gary Neville: I love Villa Park. I love Highbury. Which one do you love more? I've got to have Old Trafford and Anfield in there.

23:50Ian Wright: You know the thing with Villa Park and Sheffield Wednesday, because they used to be the semi-final venues, so I love those places when they're full.

23:56Gary Neville: Yeah, Villa Park, I think, just special. My favourite away ground. Yeah? I liked Villa Park. But I did like Highbury. You can't leave Highbury out. The old Highbury. The old Highbury was amazing. Steps in the... Or the new Tottenham Stadium.

24:10Ian Wright: I don't think it can qualify yet. It looks beautiful, but it's not being blessed.

24:17Ian Wright: It needs blessing. It needs blessing or it needs some exercising. It needs something. It needs a priest to go down there. I don't like Humfield. You don't like it? Yeah, but you're from there, isn't it? No, I just don't like... I've never liked playing there. I love to play. What I used to love about them is that when you play there, you do what you beat them. They did clap you off in that. I don't know. I don't believe that. Obviously, you're United. I remember we obviously when we went I remember we went there beating them 92 or whatever yeah and we clapped us off you can get that Spouses are nice people For a striker where's the best place to score?

24:53Who's it like at Anfield? Old Trafford? Where would you get the biggest buzz to score do you think?

24:59Ian Wright: I've always wanted I only scored at Man United for England but Anfield I wanted to score as a striker because I was younger because watching the cup move and all that I remember watching it as young as St Etienne I'll never forget it And I said, God, look at Anfield. The people are moving.

28:22Gary Neville: The best 11 ever to get relegated from the Premier League The best 11 so what Tottenham going down and the biggest shock Tottenham going down would be the biggest shock in Premier League history

28:33Ian Wright: Yeah

28:34Gary Neville: What is the best team of players ever to go down in the Premier League I remember they used to talk about that Forest team You're in here Roy Yeah, Stuart Pearce is in here. Dez was gone by then when he does walk. Was Dez out by then? Dez was gone. Nigel Winterburn's in here. Andy Robertson, Hull. Who's Winterburn with? West Ham? Leicester. What were the Leicester players? James Madison, Leicester. Vardy. Vardy, Leicester. Les Ferdinand, West Ham. Jermaine Defoe, West Ham. Janinho, Middlesbrough. Carrick. Carrick, West Ham. Joe Cole, West Ham.

29:07Ian Wright: Joe Cole, West Ham, yes.

29:08Gary Neville: Roy Keane, Nottingham Forest. Paolo Di Canio, West Ham. Yeah. Janinho, have there. Nathan Ake Bournemouth, Johnny Evans West Brom, Nigel Winterburn West Ham, Romero obviously would come into that.

29:19Ian Wright: A World Cup winner.

29:20Gary Neville: World Cup winner. David James West Ham, Jordan Pickford Sunderland. So what are we going for? Who's the most relegations? Who's the big centre-half, the Icelandic centre-half? Remember he got Ray Lundgren? Played for Pallison for, who else? Bolton. Aridison. Aridison, a big centre-half.

29:39Ian Wright: He played for Charlton as well, didn't he? He played for Charlton. And Quasi. Is it Quasi? Remember he got... Nigel. Nigel Quasi. Nigel Quasi. Yeah. Wow. Do you know what? It is... David James. It's not a good thing to have in your CV, man. Really, David James. David James, England goalkeeper. Or Pickford. Yeah, Jordan. He wasn't, obviously... I know I don't give keepers credit, but he made a great save. Was it last week against Newcastle? Remember? Yeah, man. That was... Pickford. Is Jordan Pickford England's most vital player? He's England's best keeper.

30:06Gary Neville: Yeah. I can't believe... Ever? There's something. I've changed my mind. You're going Everwayne? I've changed my mind on him. Roy, have you changed your mind? Because I wasn't having him in the beginning. He's brilliant. I wasn't having him. He's brilliant, no. I didn't get the consolation.

30:17Ian Wright: Yeah, I'm still not convinced. Don't get me wrong. it's just that because of his personality and how he is, I think people judge him before. Yeah. But when you watch him, the saves he makes. Oh, man. It would have been nice to see him at, people get upset, like at a club playing in Champions League. No, not at Everton, obviously. He's had a big club, Roy. Come on. No, he is in a big club, sir. but you know what I mean like a team completely why have a Champions League

30:39Gary Neville: club not come in for him I am amazed if he's has all that experience he's the right age no he's obviously good drawing what age is he now what age is Jordan Pickford 28 28-29 he's got five years left he could go easy oh you're 30 how old's Jordan I went to his birthday

30:57Ian Wright: 32

30:58Gary Neville: I went to his 30th you went to his 30th birthday so he was your teammate with him at about two years ago your teammate

31:08Gary Neville: Is it a good night? What was... What does a football player that's modern day's birthday... You're smiling already. What does a modern day's football birthday look like? Bongo Bingo. Oh, in Manchester? In his house. He's got a big house, then. Oh, he's probably marking up. All right, OK. Bongo's Bingo. So what's that? What's Bongo Bingo? Go on, tell them what it is. Bingo. So why is it called Bongo? Just so you'd have a game of Bingo. Just call it Bingo. No, it's like a... They do it in New York and London. But what is different about it? Because I used to go to bingo with my nan. I don't get the feeling.

31:42Gary Neville: I don't get the feeling that's what we're talking about. It's more tailored to 30-year-olds, basically. And you can win... When you do it in the actual place, not in the house, you can win big prizes. So they might bring a prize out for 50 grand or something. And obviously people are paying the money to get in on tables and stuff. All right. And then they win a yacht. Maybe. What is it? What's it called? Bongo Bingo?

32:08Ian Wright: You're a bit too old for it now, I think. A bit different than Mecca. Don't you just colour numbers in? Watch. You still play bingo? I kind of like it. Do it, obviously, but the prize is a little bit different. And then there's different things going on. I bet there is. There's a lot. There's too much. It sounds like too much going on for me there. Just normal bingo walk.

Top three Premier League signings from inside the Premier League. I'll give you some examples. Cantona leads to Manchester United. Van Persie, Arsenal to Manchester United.

34:35Gary Neville: Milner, City to Liverpool. Raheem Sterling, Liverpool to Manchester City. Sol Campbell, Tottenham to Arsenal.

34:43Ian Wright: That's the number.

34:44Gary Neville: Carlos Tevez. from Leeds Tevez United to City that's a big one and all Crouch Portsmouth to Tottenham Andy Cole Newcastle to Manchester United just some examples and Rooney Everton to Manchester United but Cantona when that happened Shearer Southampton to Blackburn Blackburn to Newcastle Cantona was under the radar the influence he had when he moved I think Sol's one of the others Sol's Sol was a big because obviously Sol's the biggest transfer I think I've ever seen not the biggest influence I think I've got the biggest shock Roy in shocks absolutely in shocks Cantona was a bit of a shock It was, yeah.

35:16He's at least to go to United. Nick Bambi, Everton to Liverpool.

35:19Gary Neville: Oh, controversial. Yeah, Nick Bambi. Top three, Cantona, Campbell and...

35:27Gary Neville: Stirling, Liverpool to City. That was a big one at the time. No. It was a big one at the time. Yeah, but it was... Van Persie, maybe Arsenal. Oh, that was... Van Persie.

35:35Ian Wright: Yeah. Because that one really harmed him. Remember when the league? Riding to Burnham. I think with Robin going to United and just absolutely just setting the place of light, man. It was brilliant that year.

35:51Gary Neville: Third one. Robin? Robin, yeah. OK. Best football goals ever? And I've got some suggestions. Wembley. I've got some suggestions. Old Wembley. Marco van Basten. Oh, goal. Oh, the goal. Oh, shit. Sorry, bro. I thought it meant the stanchions and everything. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. He thinks he's fucking studying architecture.

36:12Ian Wright: Because then Wembley and Southampton the little thing the old Ham best football goals ever

36:19Gary Neville: Marco van Basten versus the Soviet Union the volley oh 88 Gareth Bale versus Liverpool bicycle kick Diego Maradona versus England the solo goal wow that's definitely

36:31Ian Wright: watching that line

36:31Gary Neville: Diego Maradona versus England the hand of God goal yeah oh that was amazing Roberto Carlos versus France I'm trading that see I can do that one as well with my hands It's a tournoir Cristiano Ronaldo versus Juventus The Champions League overhead kick No, I saw him score one against a Portuguese Oh yeah, Porto And it just kept rising

36:52Ian Wright: It was just like crazy

36:53Gary Neville: Lionel Messi versus Real Madrid 2011 Champions League semi-final run Zlatan versus England Overhead kick from distance We were at a game, weren't we? Bergkamp's in there versus Newcastle So whoever did this thought that the best Premier League goal Was the Bergkamp one versus Newcastle Ronaldinho's got some... Oh, Ronaldinho's, yeah. No, they bet Maradona, obviously, against England. I bet Maradona's against England.

37:16Ian Wright: That's the second goal after the... Yeah. The commentary on Nell was brilliant as well. It's just like, when he picked the ball up. Fuck, you know, that little turn, it was just... And Bale, Bale left to be up there. Yeah, Bale's over a kick. Gareth's over a kick. How high was that? But you know what, Zlatan's... Yeah, that was. But that was just crazy. He was like 30 yards out.

37:35Gary Neville: The Maradona goal is the one that, like... I'm not going to say I can't score.

37:43Gary Neville: That's the one that I don't think... I mean, you're the nearest... I don't think anybody's scoring. Messi's the only person. Maradona goal is... I don't think anybody in the world can ever score that goal, apart from maybe Messi. That's the whole occasion. Argentina versus England. Yeah. The greatest goal of all time. No, but if you were looking at that goal, would you be looking at your defenders truthfully and go, what are you doing? You know what I mean? You would do that. The greatest goal in the world was Peter Reid. Peter Reid. Yeah, but more the defenders, because they were running on to him, Wayne.

38:10Whatever with the midfielders, not doing their job, but he's coming on to the defenders. You're going, you've got to read that, lads. You know what I mean?

38:16Ian Wright: One of the greatest goals was the 1970s, the fourth one, Carlos Alberto. Yeah. Cardoaldo got it in the middle, done a bit of stuff, went outside and flicked it out to Jairzinho. He flicked it into Pele Pele. Then Carlos Alberto comes in and hits it. And as he hits it, Roy, it bobbles up and it goes in at that same pace. That height, yeah. That goal and Maradona's goal always comes back to me. Like, that goal was, because I was, like, seven. And watching that, it was like, my God, this is amazing.

38:44Gary Neville: Your punditry when you were seven was pretty...

38:47Ian Wright: No, because, like, obviously, watching the Brazilians and the brothers doing stuff like that was a whole different thing. I was thinking of the day, like, the saddest moment for a player, like, the hardest moment to take for a player during a game, Mbappe in the final. Oh, Patrick, I don't think anyone will ever be in that.

39:05Gary Neville: No, the Colomboani chance that he goes through. Yeah,

39:09Ian Wright: but like... Is that the greatest game of football of all time? It could be. And then to finish with penalties as well, after Messi coming to the party, Mbappe coming to the party, then Messi winning it on penalties.

39:22Gary Neville: We're there in the stadium. I don't think I've ever seen a greater game of football than that. No.

39:27Ian Wright: Because it was a brilliant match as well, a brilliant game. Do you see even Mwani? he's kind of got off with one in respects of that chance that's them winning

39:37Gary Neville: that live with him inside himself

39:40Ian Wright: without a doubt without a doubt we're lucky I know you have to watch a lot of rubbish but you do see some great games I think that might be the greatest I've ever ever seen easily easily I went there I was was I? you walking? I was at a party no I was in India wow playing bongo bingo I'm on a toilet it was food it was on the toilet seat I was doing the TV in India
