I work between the training ground and Wetherby and our lads have stopped at the end of our lane when he’s being walking home and he’s stayed and had selfies with the lads then continues down the lines! Top man top club mot👍

[@RABC802]

Watching this again. He will always be a legend. Thanks for this great interview. You were part of history

[@miggymod]

I've just come back to watch this again and I enjoyed it almost as much as the first time.

[@solarenergynow08]

Glad you're back and healthy Phil Hay. This is great info/conversation. Thanks!

[@davidgreen2571]

One of my favourite discussions between two masters of the interview. Just listened to it again for the third time. Bielsa made us fall in love with LUFC all over again. Phil and Dan celebrate the man and the magic of that first three years with love and gratitude. It was beautiful, lads. Thanks for reminding us.

[@copiousfool]

The book is cracking, was given it as a present last night and I finished it today.

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

Oh really thanks, guna go get it today 👍

[@keelybannister6487]

Sat watching this on 22nd June 2023, thinking of what we had and what we lost makes me want to cry.

[@bradreyno7146]

Agree, Bielsa led the change but Orta is underappreciated as the glue. Orta is passionate but you can tell he understands the history and loves the club. Love the content boys, will order the book Phil.

[@alanaudioman]

I love this. The book arrived yesterday. Can't wait to read it. One thing... ...Where's my Soccer Supremo mug?

[@philipcrewe540]

Sounds like a must read excellent

[@darcydavies-jones1503]

I got the book on audible last night, almost finished it. It's a brilliant book, very interesting and I highly recommend people read it.

[@adamclark6756]

Just ordered a copy and i know it is going to be a brilliant read.

[@solarenergynow08]

FYI. There are some great older interviews (in spanish though) where you can see a very talkative Bielsa.. search "entrevista a Marcelo Bielsa" and choose the filter for longer duration..One can absolutely see how smart MB is, the way he argues with journalists, the language he uses, the content/context and how quick he is to answer back whe pressed...

[@leedsunitedoldschool2837]

Miss him 💙🤍💛

[@LUFC123]

Great to see Phil looking so healthy . ALAW

[@chrismcgee8393]

These videos are great!

[@andycuthbertson1010]

Just watched this today 3 days after west ham and in bielsa's own words from Sunday it was beautiful

[@richryan70]

Absolutely love this. What an insight. And what an interview.

[@thesquareball_]

Thank you Richard!

[@emmettoliver]

Watching this video at 4am in Richmond Park.. I've never enjoyed a Leeds video as much as this in a very long time 👍 MOT

[@chrispayne198]

Fistly, Phil, I'm so happy to see you better. Must've been difficult. Beyond that, Dan and Square Ball are first-class, and Phil, you impress me more than ever as you describe Marcelo - who's essentially indescribable. Ive relished every moment of his time with Leeds. So grateful to you for putting it into words.

[@aawannaveed]

Fascinating discussion! Well done! 👏🏼👍

[@OLMOT-xp3mu]

Got the book yesterday🤩🤩🤩. Looking forward to reading it.

[@hugomarquez3189]

Does the book have a Spanish version? I’m wondering because I bet Bielsa would want to read it at some point. I can get it translated if you pay me, I know all the Argentine slang.

[@MunchyToy]

Superb.

[@chrismannion3418]

Every Leeds fan needs to listen to this. Actually, every football fan should

[@miggymod]

I've just re-watched this and I almost started leaking when you talked about him being carried out of ER as a hero. It still sickens me that the board treated him so badly.😢

[@ianjackson4011]

Great watch and listen. Where did you get the "Bielsa on his Bucket" figurine? Me want!! 😃 ALAW!

[@robertsampson3772]

Wasn’t over keen on Orta to begin with but now I love the man 💪mot

[@Wilss]

How about now? 😁

[@andylake9793]

Bielsa the Argentine Yorkshireman.

[@bowiedoctor9156]

Watching this again - boy, do I miss Bielsa. We should have had much more faith in him.

[@garyhillman4993]

I miss Phil hay at the post

[@76equus]

Will the book be available on Audible?

[@njacobo84]

Argentina Bielsa/Leeds fan over here! Does anyone know if its possible to get this book outside the UK?

[@8563robbie]

is that Finchy doing the audio..????

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

Please never say "When He's Gone". Never.

[@fraudro1727]

I understand, I do not like to hear that neither, but there will be an end. That is just life.

[@brianc8157]

So sad listening to this now…

[@binjuice59]

Phil why was our transfer window so bad? And to cap it all we sign another winger who isn't a patch on the 2 we already have for a stupid amount of money that could have been used to sign Obrien and Dike both of which we need We do not need Dan bloody James cis now Rapha will have to play out of position A crazy decision by the management and one I fear will come back to haunt us if ever Bamford gets crocked we have made life v difficult now for ourselves I fear
