    Just want to let you lot know that if you’re watching this clip on the fast YouTube channel the full episode is now available to watch exclusively on Spotify and it’s free come on I think the Everton fans when they’re when when it’s going well they’re all on on your

    Side and helping out there as good as any fans in the country they’re similar to like a Newcastle or something yeah there’s certain historic clubs isn’t that I and I think it’s a little bit to do with the old stadiums as well like good and like Ro they’re like Len Road’s

    Probably I was as a fan felt a bit more hostile but like um yeah good once it gets rocking I think there certain clubs and fan base it just feels like it’s actually their lives and nothing against other clubs but when when you speak to and listen to Everton fans it literally

    Is their life it is it they live for football they live for we it’s the same with other clubs I’m sure leads as well and other big clubs but for them you speak to them is literally their life is just for that game at the weekend and

    It’ll make all break their week bu at the next game there a lot of passion isn’t it so when you when you sign there obviously you’ve you’ve had a great career and then Everton come knocking it’s whether or not it’s just Nostalgia and historic because obviously Burnley have been in

    The Premier League were in the Premier League for a long time but and horrible to play against as well Everton it’s like they’re one of these Grand historic English clubs aren’t they so how did the the move come about when did you first

    Hear about it and so I’d had a a lot of Summers of like I’m I leaving am I going from Berlin there was always rumors of me going and nothing ever sort of worked out so I wanted to make sure going into that summer that had some exage straight

    Away I was out of contract um so i’ spoke to as many clubs as possible found out what they thought of me what I thought of what what they were thinking um and then I sat down with Frank and pretty pretty much initially from

    Sitting with him I was I was I was sold on on the on the whole thing straight away and I thought well still I’m I want to be a part of the turning that sort of project from where it was at to when I leave the club it’s in a better place

    Because they just stayed up that season we just stayed up last season but hopefully now we’re working our way back up to where the club should be and when I leave I want that club to be in a better place it was when I’m going I

    Join when you’re on a free transfer I’ve never been in this scenario by the way um one is it a little bit daunting yeah is it kind of like a step into the unknown you it’s like you got to go and get a new job you got to go and meet a

    Whole new changing room full of people um that’s the first part and then secondly is the location of that club a genuine consideration as well I it’s definitely something I I took into consideration I’m a northern Laden I was more drawn to being closer to home than

    I was moving away from home it’s not saying that I would have turned down at any of the clubs to move away um but it help that Everton in the Northwest and I can stay near home um the da in this yeah I mean the worst part was really

    Was thinking if I get injured in the last three four weeks of my contract Burnley then I’m I’m injured it’s a bad one as well yeah and and I’ve and I’ve got no Club um I remember remember Al judge little Winger he he was com to the

    End end of his deal at brenford and he got injured there and he the poor lad just suffered injuries ever since and he was he was going to go to like a big Premier League club or like maybe like a Celtic like that he got injured and he never

    Got that opportunity to move so that was something that always played on my mind as remember he was with you wasn’t he Andros Andros town and so obviously Andros had a year left on his deal didn’t he but he got that that such a bad ACL injury in the setbacks that it

    Looked like when Andros came on our podcast didn’t he thought for a while at the age he was at he thought that might be it but um it’s great to see him at L well is some been a few play people like even dege David dege you know what I

    Mean we’re talking about somebody who’s played freaking 500 OD Premier League G yeah and the guy can’t he’s like still in his pump you would like to think he’s still in his pump and he can’t get a Premier League team he can’t get well is

    It that he can’t either way how mad is it he’s spent the last 15 years being a pro footballer doing a day to-day day today day today and now he’s like just freedom I can do what I want you know I think it the thought of a free transfer

    Sounds amazing like I can go where I want I’ve got freedom I decide but then when you get to the situation it’s never as nice as you think it is I always thought a free Chan be I’ll be great I have loads of options I can pick and choose

    I mean I had a couple of options but I wasn’t like sitting there with like hundreds of offers think I’ll just rifle through these and just see what I can pick out so it’s it was it wasn’t as nice as I anticipated like say six months earlier

    When I knew my deal was running out I think it’s only I think it’s only probably a nice position to be in if you’re a top top player I remember Ramsey went to Juventus didn’t was like got you offering 400 what all right yeah okay yeah that didn’t come through to me

    Unfortunately um have you ever wanted to sorry Ben just quickly on that have you ever thought about I know you you’ve obviously when you went to brenford but you’ve always kind of been in the Northwest where you from have you ever had thoughts about playing playing abroad or maybe finishing somewhere yeah

    I think I think I’ll try to yeah obviously if the offers are there I think um I want to play as long as I can my body feels good right now so as long as I still feel like this in a few years time I’ll see I’ll see what’s coming up

    But I’ll definitely go abroad I think the MLS is something which really interests me so we’ll see down the line what goes on there yeah Keen retired this week didn’t he he did didn’t he little swan song you you talked about it didn’t you It’s Tricky with the MLS

    Though isn’t it because the seasons don’t over summer season it’s like DAV de kind of think is he just kind of chilling now waiting to take some of those big You’ think so would you I think he’ll be all right either way to be honest you um can we have a bit of

    Goalie talk please a bit goalie love I love goalies yeah the goalies are the best aren’t they say are seriously goalies are the normal ones aren’t they that’s what they say yeah um I’ve played with some incredible goalies so yeah you’re probably going to re some off and

    I’ll I’ll say some so I’m going to just give you a list of a few that you played obviously popy Joe har at Burnley uh Tom Heaton um Pickers now Everton um that’s a decent little English selection there isn’t it maybe I just play with good goals maybe I’m I’m actually not very

    Good all the goals behind me making me look this time no I mean four you’ve just listed there four the best in the country so yeah I’ve played with some top top goers and and they’ve all got their own strengths in their own different ways but I think they’re all

    Top and goers um people though talk to me I don’t care I want to know about the people goalies are misunderstood for me like people think we’re mad we’re weird I genuinely do think goalies are probably the best then it’s Defenders aren’t far behind the further up the pit you get

    That’s when you start get I can be completely impartial here right goalkeepers are great yes however there are some certain characters like we’ve had a lot of goalies on and they have all been brilliant brilliant Bloks but they’re quirky you know this I wouldn’t

    Go as far as say mad but they are quirky in their own skin that’s all it is yeah no yeah well Heat’s um what a guy he is he’s some guy I just love speaking to anytime I see him he gives me a big UG and I just love speaking to him always

    Did happy did enthusiastic just nice and calm yeah um popy creature yeah just a big creature big creature what does that mean he’s just a big Creature if you if you spent just a day with him you just think he’s a big creature um but he’s some of the things

    He used to do in training were unbelievable you just how hard is it to get the ball past that guy the amount of times You’ shoot and think oh goal and you turn away and before you know what a save and pop he’s just got his big limbs

    Just sticking out to the side and saving it uh and then Pickers oh he’s probably the maddest to be honest he’s just yeah he’s crackers off the pitch he’s actually he’s he’s all right quite Cal on the pitch he’s just Bonkers me and him fall out constantly why cuz he

    Shouts my name constantly from behind me so I’m constantly looking at him to see if he wants anything or and then he’s just barking at me to bark at someone else and I can never really understand what he’s saying he’s 40 yards away shouting like screaming at me I’m like

    Will you just come and tell me what you want me to say to the lads are he’s just going to keep shouting from all the way over there and it’s usually telling me to tell someone else to do better or he likes saying the word intensity um but

    He’s some goaler and I think he’s just his enthusiasm for the game is why he screams at me so much but we fall out all the time on he loves it as well don’t he I love it when he um he got the ball Le the day and he like claps on the

    Ground and well it’s from the that was from the Liverpool One a few right last season weren it where he did it and then you remember at the end of the game Allison was you playing in that game by the way was it home away I think it was

    The Liverpool won one nil I think or something like that it was one towards the end of the season yeah well I would have played in it I definitely played in both Derbies I don’t remember Jordan doing that he probably did because he he definitely did he’s on the lineup

    Constantly yeah he definitely did thanks everybody for watching we hope you enjoyed this clip of the fos cast if you would like to watch the full episode it is now available exclusively on on Spotify for Free
