the quality of content has just gone steadily through the roof over the last months or so, with the interviews of Vida, Evra and other videos. This one was one of the best and most entertaining podcast I've ever seen as a football fan. I laughed so hard when Rio talked about John O'Shea doing stepovers without the ball... I couldn't stop laughing. well done to all of you.

[@ExclusiveTrance]

ask Rio about the top 5 players with great character he played with, and maybe talk a bit about their traits as a person, their principles, not only as players but as persons.

[@rufdymond]

My son knew Ravel Morrison well and let me tell you the kid was a football genius - my son used to play too but is a couple of years older that Ravel. My son like many others used to try and talk to him, try to give him some guidance, but I suppose there are some kids who are just troubled…….it’s a shame because he could have been a truly world class player.

[@SonnyK248]

What people don't understand about Michael Owen was his potential was basically cut in half at 19 after he snapped his hamstring. He still became a great player and even won the Ballon d'Or at 21 but after that injury he went from a guy who was destined to be a top 5 player in the world for 10-15 years to just a really good striker. But before that injury he was maybe the most hyped young player other than Ronaldo. He was on Carragher's podcast and they were talking about him as a kid and they said Fifa had a magazine that every year would list the best player in the world at every age group and Owen was voted number 1 from something stupid like age 11-19. He shattered every goalscoring record at every youth level he played at. The internet wasn't really a thing at the time but everyone in world football knew he was coming. Then in his debut season at 17 he wins the Premier League golden boot. Then that summer goes and stars in a World Cup at 18. Then the next season wins another golden boot. In his first two years he won back to back golden boots and was a World Cup star all by 19. So he wasn't just living up to expectations he was shattering them. Then in his third season he snapped his hamstring.

[@Nhilzer]

That goal against Argentina in 98...

[@SonnyK248]

@@Nhilzer Exactly. That tournament was right after his first season where he won the Premier League golden boot in spite of being 17 when the season started 🤯Think about how hyped players like Rashford and Walcott were when they broke into their teams at about the same age and they were just coming off the bench. Even Rooney at Everton scored 8 and 9 goals respectively in his first two seasons and that made United blow 30 million on him which was crazy money at the time. Owen got 23 his first year and another 23 his second year 😰

[@creed87]

I just remember him being clutch for Liverpool as well. Fa cup final goals against arsenal etc he was just sort of inevitable whenever Liverpool or England needed a goal

[@ElDragow]

That's a great point ya know. The fact Roy absolutely loves the guy, tells you everything. And Roy didn't even play with him when he was at his peak for united, but his early younger years where he already was a good player, but still very much a diamond in the rough. So the fact Roy Keane loved and respected younger Ronaldo shows that Ronaldo truly had the heart and mindset of a champion. Otrherwise Roy would have hated his guts. Also Ronaldo has always shown respect to Keano aswel.

[@dondamon4669]

Ronaldo says Keane was his best captain and Keane always liked Ronaldo and never liked Rooney as Rooney who always acts shy was a cocky scouser behind the scenes

​@@dondamon4669 I'm not surprised lol. If Rooney played centre midfield Keane would have hated to play against him. I just see Rooney as his kryptonite. So much energy and attitude. Impossible to control.

[@eoinyessesmaguire1636]

Ive heard so many of the utd players say the same thing about Ravel Morrison and so many coaches talking about him, It's mad how someone with that much talent that still doubted just how good he was.. I used to coach local teams and the one thing I'd try drum into them especially the lads who stood out I'd say to them to never downplay how good they are and if someone is praising you take the compliment and don't ever be shy it's not been cocky by acknowledging what you no ur good at be confident in ur ability

[@dondamon4669]

That's why the players are the way they are now being told "believe your the best, your so good, love yourself" the class pf 92 were told everyday by Harrison that they are worthless, rubbish, never amount to nothing crap players! Thats the way they should still be treated coz if at 16 you know you are set and going to be rich of course you get lazy

[@LC_98]

Anderson and Nani from 2007-2009 were both world class, then dropped off. Would have been interesting hearing about them.

[@croseycompsrugby902]

Nani was still world class until about 2012. The 10/11 season he was one of the best players in the prem, think he registered 18 assists.

Fantastic Video. I loved Ravel I hate it when Utd great kids don’t make the first team. I’m so glad Garnacho has got through. I’d like to see more kids get to top level from the academy. Maybe there needs to be better sports psychology st that early age to help the mental side.

[@theophilusdarko4347]

The only way the kids get the chance is for the snr team to play better to allow easy transition of the kids. ManUtd have had better kids in the last 7 years but never integrated because the first team is shite

[@FatTodd]

Cesc fabregas deserved a shout. The lad had to fill the hole that Patrick vieira left behind, it’s a shame arsenal couldn’t build around him and they came against ronaldos united. Even in his latter stages of his career he had a massive role in Chelsea’s 2 most recent title wins.

[@raymondutuk111]

So random. I was at Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi last year, walking through one of the underground walkways in Yas Island and ran into Ravel Morrison. It was so random, but I had to give him a shout. Told him I appreciated his game, and was a big fan (because I was)! Watching him when he was young - the game was too too easy for him. Football was always too easy for him. For most people, when it comes that easy, it’s tempting to not work at it. It sucks.

[@DocYAYAYA]

people forget Owen was a Ballon d'Or winner... he was electric in his early days, almost unplayable

[@ILKILO1]

I know Rio obviously didn't play alongside him but Angel Gomes was right up there with Ravel for me and it's been nice seeing him resurrect his career after such a horrendous injury.

[@TJTOPBOY]

He is no where near Ravel. Good talents but Ravel was a madness.

[@ILKILO1]

@@TJTOPBOY Nah I'm sorry, I've got to disagree with you on that one. I'm not going to argue who was better as it seems a little childish to me however saying "one was no where near the other" is just nonsense isn't it? Different players, I've watched both personally and played against Angel internationally, they both made it look easy and even that would be an understatement. Only player I've personally played against, again at youth level who was even comparable to Angel was Renato Sanches at a Youth European Championships. I genuinely came off the pitch that day thinking the world doesn't know we have the next Ronaldinho on our hands lol

[@divit00]

Lol, no way close. Ravel had everything. Similar to Foden but better.

[@mufasaisalive5031]

Angel Gomes was not on the level of Ravel. If you had said Greenwood, then maybe. But Ravel is still spoken about till this day and he's in his 30s now

[@ILKILO1]

@@divit00 Foden? Angel was always 1 or 2 steps ahead in development to Foden so I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make is? Were talking Youth football here and I've played both with and against some of the best in Europe and I can tell you personally, off first hand experience Angel was probably the best young player of his Generation. Not just in England or Europe but probably the world. It was ridiculous how good that kid was, made everything look easy and effortless.

He held the goals record for England and you have to wonder what the record would have been if he had not suffered all those injuries. 😮

[@tonylomas9773]

I’d love you to ask Rio about his game against Real when R9 scored a hat trick against him. Old Trafford gave R9 a standing ovation when he got subbed off. Partly because he’d just beaten a PRIME Rio Ferdinand. We just did ever see that. How did Rio feel?

I would love to see that video. Thanks.

There wasn't a doubt in my mind that Cole was going to be one of the very best players in the world one day when he first broke through at West Ham. It's a shame how his career turned out. Probably shouldn't have gone to Chelsea. Mourinho wasn't a man who allowed his player's to play with a lot of freedom. I think if West Ham didn't get relegated he'd have probably stayed there a couple more years with Carrick and Defoe and maybe proved himself more as a player who a top club can build a team around. Because that's what he needed. Cole was a maverick player like a Zola or a Bergkamp who should have been orchestrating everything. He wasn't a left winger.

He fulfilled his potential but fell off way too early. By 27, 28 his athleticism and ability to affect games severely diminished, he didn’t work on himself like others to be able to sustain at a top level throughout his 30s that he could have done
