This shows the power of Seve. No-one else could have had this effect on Nick Faldo. Seve touched us all and never has a golfer been so loved.

Frankly, nobody even cared about the Ryder Cup before Seve. We dominated that event, and it was Seve's fire that turned that around, and not only made Europe competitive, but dominant over the US for a number of years . I remember watching it as a kid in the mid 80s, and you could see how much it mattered to Seve. You looked at his face during his matches, and you saw it was war out there. He made the Ryder Cup matter. Such a great player.

Seve, the greatest golfplayer i`ve ever seen. I grew up watching him on tv and it was fantastic seeing him at full force! Rest in peace you magnificent man!

this actually brings so many good memories. I remember those times. Langer, the cold german with lots of putt problems. Then Faldo, the englishman with an amazing swing who had the looks of James bond. Then you had Seve, the spirited latin who could get a trick out of his sleeve and beat them all. Then you had Watson, who seemed to play golf with no emotions at all trying to beat them all. I was very lucky to see them play live and I still remember that day and those swings 20 years later

One legend showing his respect, admiration and love for another. Fierce tour competitors, proud Ryder Cup teammates, loyal friends. Great tribute by Nick, to a man of class and dignity who left us far too soon... Severiano Ballesteros.

I agree. I love them both. Obviously he loved the man and has great memories of spending most of his life with him. You can tell how upset he is, immediately cries and hugs himself. Great guy and lovely words

Faldo may have been cold on the golf course but clearly, off the course, a loyal friend, which is what matters.

Nick Faldo is one of the best personalities in golf. A compassionate gentleman with a great outlook on life. Even after he gets emotional, he brings it back with a little humor. His outpour of emotion for Seve shows his true character, and shows what a man Seve was. Great upload. thanks for sharing this and showing what a great guy Nick is.

Nick's simply a very decent, emotional person who, in his great years felt he needed to detach himself and focus completely on his game. Hence his success.

Faldo gave a short interview after Seve's funeral on the sky sports documentary sporting greats: Seve Ballesteros, They were both 20 years old and rivals, Seve said on the first tee 'we should be friends' Faldo burst into tears just talking about it, Faldo has never really showed any emotion in Golf, yet whenever Seve was around him they'd both be in tears, they had a unique bond.

Sir Nick proves (to all those people who knocked him for being an emotionless golfing robot), that he's a human with great memories and emoitions of Seve. Well said Nick.

Like Nick, some people who are emotional have to be cold, and appear cold to battle their emotions. Nick and Seve, both top top blokes!!
@NoxiousRob11 жыл бұрын
Faldo appeared cold and unemotional when he was playing, but I remember when he turned around his Ryder cup match on the last 2 holes in 1995 to earn a point that Europe needed to regain the trophy, he walked of the final green with tears in his eyes. That was how much it meant to him, and obviously he'd managed to bottle up his emotions during the match, but it all came flooding out once he sank the final outt.

I will guess you are an American. As the next 20 years pass, perhaps you will reflect on your character, perhaps not. But you will reflect on the struggles you have to face as things fall apart in the States, and perhaps Seve will be an inspiration to you as times get tougher. I hope so, it will help you. Good luck.

Gazza7 "Guessing" a nationality is akin to playing the "race" card. As for struggles the States have faced, most have been saving Euro's asses from Germany, Fascism, Communism, and flat out stupidity. Seve an inspiration, compared to who? My Euro inspirations include Churchill, Thatcher, and, well, that's about it!

Faldo is plenty emotional post career...now he's all chatty, clever, and funny (well, attempts). As Azinger said, yeah, don't be fooled, still same Faldo. Saw a bit of that when Faldo last captained Ryder Cup..it was him in a microcosm. Secretive, Arrogant, Chippy, Self involved. Obviously he had a Euro connection with Seve, and kudos to him for chatting about it. I mostly just get annoyed because he never finishes a blasted sentence. God Faldo, finish a thought.
