Welfare Park, home of the Bedlington Terriers. They are on a | 0:00:06 | 0:00:16 | |
0:00:16 | 0:00:24 | ||
It is half-time... Need a lift, lad? If you don't, we will be 2-0 | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
down. I'm not bothered about this being here because this has been | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
bottling up for week after week. Instead of playing like terriers, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:41 | |
0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | ||
we are playing like pussycats. Bloody rubbish. To be quite honest. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:53 | |
0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | ||
Welcome to the Bedlington Terriers, fifth in the Northern League, eight | 0:00:55 | 0:01:03 | |
divisions below the Premiership. More mongrel than pedigree. They | 0:01:03 | 0:01:10 | |
are struggling on the field and off. Every Northern League team is just | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
scraping along on the bones of their backs, we all are. We are all | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
constantly looking for sponsorship. When it's a rainy, poor night, you | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
don't get too many in. You often don't cover enough to pay the | 0:01:21 | 0:01:27 | |
officials, never mind the lights, never mind the players' expenses. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
The players have all got other jobs and the club is run by a hardcore | 0:01:31 | 0:01:40 | |
of volunteers. I'll take a stud, no problem at all. All right, I will | 0:01:40 | 0:01:50 | |
0:01:50 | 0:02:00 | ||
Tip Ex it out. Somebody has pinched What the Terriers need is a miracle. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:10 | |
0:02:10 | 0:02:16 | ||
Bob Rich Junior is head of a global food empire based in America. He | 0:02:16 | 0:02:22 | |
owns three baseball teams and travels the world by private jet. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:29 | |
His arrival is causing a stir. to meet you too. Bob is worth $2 | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
billion by the Forbes calculations which makes him one of the top 600 | 0:02:32 | 0:02:40 | |
wealthiest people on earth. And in the top 200 in the United States. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
And he has fallen in love with Bedlington. It's insane, it's | 0:02:42 | 0:02:51 | |
insane. I called David Holmes and he said we would love to have you | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
sponsor the team. When I first called David Holmes and introduced | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
myself, told him who I was and told him we wanted to sponsor the team, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
there was a great pause at the other end of the line. I think he | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
thought we were joking. He looks pretty darn good. When I first took | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
the call from Bob, it caught us by surprise. You don't expect to take | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
a phone call from an American guy saying he was Lord Beddington. I | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
didn't believe it. I didn't believe it. I thought it was the guys up | 0:03:19 | 0:03:29 | |
0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | ||
the road being mischievous. This rich American, I thought, come on. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
A man called rich from America, it doesn't happen. You know, what has | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
happened to Bedlington Terriers, it is a fairy-tale. It doesn't happen | 0:03:38 | 0:03:45 | |
in real life. So, my first look at Bedlington. Bob could have bought... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
He has the money to buy Aston Villa or some other large Premiership | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
team but he has a good run track record of taking small things and | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
growing them. It is very much what he did with the baseball team in | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
Buffalo and what he did with Rich Food Products. Looking for a | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
worldwide partnership? Absolutely. When we came over, people said, | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
what are you, some kind of sugar daddy? I didn't even know what that | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
meant. Somebody said, oh, you are a tycoon. I thought that was a | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
weather condition, I wasn't sure what it meant. We are not in this | 0:04:14 | 0:04:20 | |
for the money. Your history's so much older than the US. Yeah. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
British by ancestry and found out that I had a relative who was Lord | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Beddington many years ago, so my wife surprised me for Christmas and | 0:04:27 | 0:04:37 | |
0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | ||
secured the title. This is Lord Bedlington. Nice to see you. And I | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
said, now I had better to something to act lordly so why have studies a | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
lot about Bedlington and found out that the Bedlington Terriers | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
football team in the Northern League needed a shirt sponsor. What | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
is your name? Rhys. Rhys, I'm Bob. Hello, Bob. Nice to meet you. How | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
did school go today, tell the truth. Quite rubbish. You are an honest | 0:04:59 | 0:05:09 | |
0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | ||
lad. It's good to see you guys. See you at the ball park, the pitch. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:18 | |
When is the next match on? That would be next Tuesday. Wednesday. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
Or Wednesday. I'll see you there. You are bitten by the Terriers, I | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
know it is a cliche, but you are bitten by the Terriers. It just | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
gets in to you, under your skin and you just live for the Terriers. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
your pitch dried out. I think Bob Rich has been bitten by the | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Terriers, definitely, yes. Hi, I'm Bob Rich. Nice to meet you. The | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
people are so great. They remind me of my friends back in Buffalo. The | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
community in Bedlington has struggled. They lost their mining | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
here, just like we lost steel milling in Buffalo. And they have | 0:05:50 | 0:05:56 | |
great courage in spite of these issues. Bob could be anywhere in | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
the world but he has chosen to spend his 70th birthday in an | 0:05:59 | 0:06:07 | |
Italian restaurant on Front Street, Bedlington. That's me. Believe me, | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
I had a lot of options but why not come and spend my birthday with new | 0:06:11 | 0:06:21 | |
0:06:21 | 0:06:33 | ||
Thank you. Terriers, woof woof. This should be interesting. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
round the party off in style, Bob and Dave go to Whitley Bay where | 0:06:36 | 0:06:42 | |
the Terriers hope to demolish their local rivals. Somebody said that | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
the lads might be a little nervous because they are not used to | 0:06:46 | 0:06:56 | |
0:06:56 | 0:07:11 | ||
At the minute, 2-0 down. So, The Terriers go down with a whimper, | 0:07:11 | 0:07:21 | |
0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | ||
3-0. You can see what good luck I # I want to be a billionaire, so | 0:07:25 | 0:07:32 | |
Even billionaires need to get away from it all. Bob and his wife, | 0:07:32 | 0:07:39 | |
Mindy, are on a fly-fishing holiday in Hampshire. How has fishing been | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
this year? Fishing is a greatest escape, a chance to be alone on a | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
stream and really collect my thoughts. I like either being alone | 0:07:45 | 0:07:55 | |
0:07:55 | 0:08:02 | ||
or surrounded by a herd of friendly It is rodeo time. He took a... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Despite their tame performance, Bob has fallen for the Terriers, hook, | 0:08:05 | 0:08:15 | |
0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | ||
line and sinker. Beautiful. A nice brown trout. Now he plans to fly | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
the whole club up to his home town of Buffalo on an all-expenses paid | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
trip so they will never forget. think that the team is going to | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
have a trip of a lifetime. There is another purpose to this trip and I | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
think it's very important, too, it's to share knowledge so that the | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
people who are involved with the Bedlington Terriers football club | 0:08:33 | 0:08:40 | |
can come back and help build their business by building their fan base. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
At the end of the day, that is going to be what determines the | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
ultimate success of this trip. It is how they are able to make their | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
team self-sustaining so they don't need a big brother or fairy | 0:08:52 | 0:09:01 | |
godfather, whatever I've been called. If you have eaten in a | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
McDonald's, you've eaten a Rich Food product. If you've eaten at | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
the Palm in New York, one of the great restaurants, and ordered the | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
cheesecake, you've also had a Rich Food product. He's pretty much | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
built a bomb-proof company. This is our 15 minutes, is it? That is the | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
bottom line. This is our opportunity to put Bedlington on | 0:09:16 | 0:09:24 | |
the map. The story splashed across the front page of the New York | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
Times and Hollywood comes calling. Negotiations start for the film | 0:09:27 | 0:09:37 | |
0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | ||
rights and a screenplay is under way. It is surreal that the New | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
York Times came over and they were interviewing a few of the lads. I'm | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
a little bit worried about the casting for some of the lads. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
lads are picking characters for one another which has been good banter, | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
picking Shrek to play the centre forward and this one and that one. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
It has been good. But there is no Hollywood ending to this season. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
The Terriers limp in in ninth place. Work immediately starts on | 0:09:58 | 0:10:05 | |
improving the pitch. Bob Rich contributes �20,000 to the cost. A | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
vast scoreboard shipped from America is also being installed. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
Bob picks up the �100,000 tab. He is also sponsoring next season's | 0:10:12 | 0:10:18 | |
strip at a cost of 10 grand. The club is buzzing about the trip to | 0:10:18 | 0:10:26 | |
Buffalo. But not everyone can go. Unfortunately, I'm out of work at | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
the moment. If I go, I lose a fortnight's benefits. Who knows how | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
I'm going to feel that the time? I won't know until it happens. It | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
will not be the first time in life that had not been able to do | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
something I really wanted to do and I don't suppose it will be the last. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this is unique. I | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
don't think there is any non-League team at our level that has had a | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
level of interest from somebody so high a profile and of the status of | 0:10:51 | 0:11:01 | |
0:11:01 | 0:11:27 | ||
The Terriers are heading across the We have got the bar ready for you | 0:11:27 | 0:11:33 | |
guys. Hi, hi. After 24 hours of the road, the lads are ready for an | 0:11:33 | 0:11:43 | |
0:11:43 | 0:11:53 | ||
Can he get in with them on? There are a few of us who went out into | 0:11:53 | 0:12:02 | |
the town and the locals were fantastic. Welcome to Buffalo. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
like you guys already. I think when you have one drink, it leads to two | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
and then three and then four and then five, six, seven. First night, | 0:12:12 | 0:12:22 | |
0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | ||
10 days to go. Happy days. Happy 22, 23... Keep going up to 50. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
is not the best way to start the first training session on American | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
soil, with a raging hangover. terrible at the beginning, headache, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:40 | |
but a warm-up and once I got a sweat on, the beer is out of us now. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
OK, what we said last night, let's put it in, all right. In just four | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
days, they play local soccer team FC Buffalo for the first ever Lord | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
Beddington Cup. It will be a high- profile match, a chance to impress | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
the American crowd and their sponsor, who has turned up to watch | 0:12:54 | 0:13:00 | |
them practice. Hey, buddy boy. How are you? The lad's become like a | 0:13:00 | 0:13:07 | |
son to me, tell the truth. I know, Dad, I know. But they haven't woken | 0:13:07 | 0:13:17 | |
0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | ||
When they visit the headquarters of Rich Products Limiteds, Bob's huge | 0:13:20 | 0:13:28 | |
factory on the outskirts of town, the penny finally drops. You guys | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
coming in or what? We just assumed it was a bog-standard facility. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:42 | |
0:13:42 | 0:14:06 | ||
It's like the Mediterranean village We walked through the building and | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
the roof just came down. Hundreds of people chanting, singing. It was | 0:14:10 | 0:14:20 | |
0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | ||
unbelievable. Wow! Bedlington! Bedlington! Bedlington! Emotionally, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
I'm just saying, I've got a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:37 | |
0:14:37 | 0:14:37 | ||
Nobody'll ever believe that. This is our normal reception on a | 0:14:38 | 0:14:45 | |
Saturday, by the way. LAUGHTER. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
We're used to this! Honestly, amazing! It's like Willy Wonka's | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
chocolate factory! Absolutely fantastic. I hope everybody comes | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
to the game. I hope you all come for a drink afterwards, because Bob | 0:14:55 | 0:15:02 | |
is buying! We are going to win the cup for you. I promise. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:09 | |
CHEERING. Take one last look at the Lord | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
Bedlington Cup. We will see it again when we award it to our | 0:15:13 | 0:15:23 | |
0:15:23 | 0:15:32 | ||
winner. Mr Brown. Sell! Buy! Buy! | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Bob even lets the Terriers loose in his office, the hub of a multi- | 0:15:35 | 0:15:45 | |
0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | ||
I wanted these guys to see my office, so they could see where I'm | 0:15:47 | 0:15:52 | |
watching the games from. And I thought, "Bring the lads up here - | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
what's the worst that could happen?". I found out - they broke | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
my chair! I don't really know if there is such a thing as a normal | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
billionaire, but he is as close as I have seen. Most of these guys | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
don't really walk on the same earth that the rest of us walk on. The | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
rich really are different from you and I. He is not. He is a very | 0:16:11 | 0:16:20 | |
The Terriers are the talk of the town. Everywhere they go, the | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
players - floor layers, teachers and builders - are treated like | 0:16:23 | 0:16:31 | |
celebrities. Buffalo's getting a real kick out | 0:16:31 | 0:16:38 | |
of the Bedlington Terriers. From what I have heard, there is a | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
soccer team coming in from the Europe area. So, we are excited | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
they are coming here to publicise soccer in our area. We love soccer | 0:16:44 | 0:16:53 | |
here. I've just seen them! I'm so excited! There is somebody out | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
there who cares, and when there is somebody who cares about you, you | 0:16:57 | 0:17:05 | |
want to give them something back. Like Bedlington, Buffalo has seen | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
better days. Painful reminders of the steel-making heyday are there | 0:17:09 | 0:17:18 | |
for all to see. Obviously, one of the things we have chatted about is | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
the demise of the coal-mining industry in our country. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:30 | |
0:17:31 | 0:17:32 | ||
Bob and Dave take a walk downtown. How you cope with that the loss of | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
the steel industry and what effect that has had on the city. This is | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
something that nobody ever saw coming. Nobody would ever have | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
believed to that the mines or, in our case, the mills would have | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
closed. So this was a total devastation for this area, and | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
people left with... In many cases, that is all they knew - steel | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
milling. They had to be retrained and that was a painful thing. A lot | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
of people left. This is my town, this is where I grew up, and so I | 0:17:55 | 0:18:01 | |
am in it for life. We made it clear. We get a lot of attractive offers | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
to leave Buffalo and move to another state for all kinds of | 0:18:04 | 0:18:12 | |
incentives, but this is about your home town. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
Bob owns Buffalo's home-town baseball team, the Bisons, and two | 0:18:14 | 0:18:20 | |
other minor league clubs. He has rejuvenated the once-dying ball | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
parks and Dave is keen to learn how American razzmatazz could put bums | 0:18:23 | 0:18:32 | |
on seats back in Bedlington. Do you keep all the game money for the | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
games or do you share it? Dave wants to wring every last drop from | 0:18:37 | 0:18:44 | |
I am determined Bedlington Terriers are going to shake off the | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
stereotypical image of football at our level because there is no | 0:18:47 | 0:18:53 | |
future in that. That is how we are going to approach all of this. It | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
may be corny and it may annoy the traditionalists, but they are the | 0:18:56 | 0:19:06 | |
0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | ||
guys that are stuck in the Dark The whole atmosphere in the ground | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
tonight is poles apart from Bedlington Terriers. Just the buzz | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
and everybody enjoying it, and the amount of kids - that is the main | 0:19:14 | 0:19:24 | |
0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | ||
If we don't change, we are on the road to oblivion, so we must change. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
It really is absolutely superb and wonderful entertainment. Exactly | 0:19:30 | 0:19:40 | |
0:19:40 | 0:19:46 | ||
what I am looking for. After days of hype, the day of the | 0:19:46 | 0:19:52 | |
big game is here. I hope the bus is still there. The pressure's on, but | 0:19:52 | 0:20:02 | |
0:20:02 | 0:20:08 | ||
There is a lot riding on this game. That is why we have come over here, | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
to beat these. Everyone is prepared, everyone is up for it. Everyone is | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
confident. A prize is involved and when you win a game, you celebrate | 0:20:16 | 0:20:24 | |
more. To win the game today, we will have a great night tonight. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:34 | |
0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | ||
am all right at the minute. Sweaty We are going to get it out on the | 0:20:36 | 0:20:42 | |
day, trust me. It is our time. FC Buffalo! To win would be nice but | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
the Terriers are pretty strong, so we are just hoping for something | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
that all the fans can enjoy and everybody can have a really good | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
time with. It is important that we start the way we finish. You can | 0:20:52 | 0:20:59 | |
see who I am rooting for! I will go for England today. We are going to | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
take the ball and pick the pieces up. First half, we are just trying | 0:21:02 | 0:21:11 | |
to get a bit of pace, trying to put a foot in. We are really trying to | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
get soccer going here, trying to get more people involved and get | 0:21:14 | 0:21:24 | |
0:21:24 | 0:21:24 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds | 0:21:24 | 0:22:11 | |
more people excited about it so a Let's go, Buffalo! | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
Another opportunity for FC Buffalo in blue. They are moving in! And | 0:22:14 | 0:22:24 | |
0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | ||
they score! They got sloppy. Bob Rich can fix most things, but | 0:22:27 | 0:22:35 | |
he can't fix the score. The Terriers are down 2-0 at half-time. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
To be honest, we got a big shock because these guys were fit, were | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
strong, were well organised, and, you know, we were not really | 0:22:41 | 0:22:51 | |
mentally prepared. Just when things can't get any worse... They do. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:58 | |
Captain Stewart Elliot is sent off. I let everybody down. I let | 0:22:58 | 0:23:08 | |
0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | ||
Bob got my mobile number, phoned me and I apologised to him. I said, "I | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
apologise for getting sent off," and he said, "don't ever say sorry | 0:23:13 | 0:23:21 | |
to me again". Chrissy! Hey! Just calm it down. Don't get involved! | 0:23:21 | 0:23:31 | |
0:23:31 | 0:23:37 | ||
Here comes FC Buffalo again. Nice Very disappointed. They haven't | 0:23:37 | 0:23:43 | |
turned up. They haven't done themselves justice at all. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
Terriers are played off the park. Final score 5-1 - hardly the fairy- | 0:23:48 | 0:23:58 | |
0:23:58 | 0:23:58 | ||
tale ending. Beaten by the Americans! I am just glad the game | 0:23:58 | 0:24:04 | |
is over. The drum was making me nuts. Just really disappointed. The | 0:24:04 | 0:24:13 | |
reception we had earlier on at Rich's was just unbelievable. It is | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
just a bit of a shame. It hurts. It hurts. But we will get over it and | 0:24:17 | 0:24:27 | |
0:24:27 | 0:24:27 | ||
we will get back to training and They done their best but it was not | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
good enough, but it certainly has not ruined the trip. We will be | 0:24:30 | 0:24:35 | |
fine and Bob has told us that that is the case - we have to keep our | 0:24:35 | 0:24:40 | |
chins up and just get on with it. They love you here in Buffalo. You | 0:24:40 | 0:24:48 | |
The defeat is overwhelming but with only a few days left in America, it | 0:24:48 | 0:24:54 | |
does not dampen their spirits for long. | 0:24:54 | 0:25:04 | |
0:25:04 | 0:25:09 | ||
# Happy birthday to you #. Hip, hip, hooray! Hooray! | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Bob's determined the Terriers leave on a high, so he throws open his | 0:25:12 | 0:25:18 | |
lakeside summer home for a party they will never forget. Get in | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
there and have some fun. Get a good sunburn going. You Brits are all so | 0:25:22 | 0:25:28 | |
pasty looking! If you want to kick a ball around... There are two | 0:25:28 | 0:25:38 | |
0:25:38 | 0:25:39 | ||
swimming pools and there are a lot The whole Rich dynasty is on hand | 0:25:39 | 0:25:45 | |
to welcome the players. This is my dad's house, where, when | 0:25:45 | 0:25:54 | |
we were kids, this was where we lived. Come on in and we will take | 0:25:54 | 0:26:02 | |
a little walk inside. Show you the inner workings. This is the | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
executive chef. Randy is the head groundskeeper, who keeps everything | 0:26:05 | 0:26:12 | |
looking pretty around here. Into the living room, here. Three Bob | 0:26:12 | 0:26:17 | |
Richs. Here is a picture of him in a board meeting. What you see is | 0:26:17 | 0:26:26 | |
what you get. This is my dad's A few of the players - looks like | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
they are playing shirts and skins. He is Lord Bedlington, so his call | 0:26:30 | 0:26:40 | |
0:26:40 | 0:26:41 | ||
is final. You've got to be kidding! You can't be serious! It has been | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
like a fairy tale. I will never ever forget this. People will not | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
believe what we got up to and what we did. You can't write a book | 0:26:51 | 0:26:56 | |
about it, really, because nobody would believe it. If you ask any | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
player, honestly, does he want to leave... Who would want to leave | 0:27:00 | 0:27:07 | |
this? Back to training, down on Blyth beach! I am going to miss | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
these guys. They stay out a little later than I do at night. It has | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
definitely brought us together. I think that will show next season. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
With Bob being involved in our club, I don't think you can put a limit | 0:27:19 | 0:27:29 | |
0:27:29 | 0:27:35 | ||
on what could happen. I really Back at Welfare Park, it is the | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
opening day of the new season. America seems a world away, but a | 0:27:40 | 0:27:47 | |
little bit of Buffalo is here to spur the Terriers on. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
Well, greetings to you lads from Buffalo, New York, or as it is now | 0:27:51 | 0:27:56 | |
known, Bedlington West. A lot of us are missing you very much. We can't | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
wait to see how you do this season. We want to wish you all the best. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
We will be watching those scores. Don't make me come over there and | 0:28:03 | 0:28:13 | |
