:01:10. > :01:14.Gerrard! -- and field. He is adored by all clubs, have a look at how
:01:15. > :01:29.this than reacted to how after 17 years he was leaving. He is not
:01:30. > :01:34.leaving! Pit is awful. -- it is. The crying went on for at least another
:01:35. > :01:37.hour. That is a fully grown woman. First up is the Premier League's
:01:38. > :01:46.most enigmatic personality. Love him or hate him,
:01:47. > :01:49.you cannot ignore him and you have He is a specialist in success,
:01:50. > :01:52.having won league titles in Portugal, England, Italy and
:01:53. > :01:55.Spain. He has tasted
:01:56. > :01:56.Champions League glory One of football's greatest managers,
:01:57. > :02:03.the special one became the happy one on his return to Chelsea,
:02:04. > :02:06.always quotable, always stylish, he is one of the game's most
:02:07. > :02:10.charismatic figures, please welcome the man
:02:11. > :02:13.who has won everything, That is quite a reception
:02:14. > :02:32.you are getting there, do you like the fact that
:02:33. > :02:36.people here love you? I feel even better when I play
:02:37. > :02:47.at home, Stamford Bridge, and I feel that my
:02:48. > :02:51.stadium is with me. But I confess that I also like it
:02:52. > :02:55.when I go away and I feel I will ask you a really tough
:02:56. > :03:02.question now, are you ready? LAUGHTER All the clubs you have
:03:03. > :03:11.managed, which is your favourite? LAUGHTER I have to be honest and say
:03:12. > :03:19.that every club I go, I arrive, I wear the shirt and not
:03:20. > :03:29.even to sleep I take the shirt off. The only one where I wear
:03:30. > :03:36.the shirt twice was Chelsea, it was the only club where I was,
:03:37. > :03:40.I left and I came back. I would say Chelsea,
:03:41. > :03:46.but I have to also confess that Inter Milan was really special
:03:47. > :03:51.and Porto was my beginning A giant like Real Madrid is also
:03:52. > :04:00.an honour to manage. There is only one club
:04:01. > :04:03.which you have sung for, he can sing the song,
:04:04. > :04:08.a bit of the song. LAUGHTER I don't mean to be unkind,
:04:09. > :04:21.but that singing is truly terrible. We cannot loan you to
:04:22. > :04:28.The Voice, but I can't now! You have a colourful
:04:29. > :04:32.relationship with the media, do you have to do a lot
:04:33. > :04:35.of press conferences, It depends, three matches means
:04:36. > :04:48.six press conferences, LAUGHTER Let's have a look at some
:04:49. > :04:52.of your finest performances Do you know what the line-up
:04:53. > :05:00.will be tomorrow? Oscar, a yellow card,
:05:01. > :05:13.hmmm...this one and... I did not speak, that
:05:14. > :05:33.was not the opportunity. --I did not speak,
:05:34. > :05:36.the masseur spoke to the team. He was screaming so much in his
:05:37. > :05:38.Scottish, I did not understand. I did not understand,
:05:39. > :05:41.but the players were clapping, That last one, in reference
:05:42. > :05:45.to the masseur who you got to give the team speech, was this before
:05:46. > :05:47.the Manchester City game? It does not matter, myself,
:05:48. > :05:54.an assistant, one of us can do it, the last words before
:05:55. > :05:57.we go to the pitch. Obviously positive words,
:05:58. > :05:59.obviously words to increase a little bit of the tempo and the body
:06:00. > :06:02.temperature, but Bill is a special I have to say that even sometimes
:06:03. > :06:07.with Sir Alex when I speak with him face to face it is good,
:06:08. > :06:10.but when he is on the phone... LAUGHTER You cannot
:06:11. > :06:12.understand, you just say yes? You have just released a book,
:06:13. > :06:18.you have won 22 trophies in 15 years, what were your
:06:19. > :06:20.career highlights? What are the things
:06:21. > :06:22.you will never forget? The moment I will never forget
:06:23. > :06:24.is the first three months LAUGHTER It is a fair point,
:06:25. > :06:30.lots of people will say judge me on my successes, others will say
:06:31. > :06:38.judge me on how I recover I prefer to be
:06:39. > :06:50.judged by my career. And by the victories,
:06:51. > :06:53.but it is a good experience, it is an experience that
:06:54. > :06:55.probably has come too late, I was ready to live
:06:56. > :06:59.with it, to cope with it. Because maturity and experience,
:07:00. > :07:01.I can imagine if this happened in the beginning of my career,
:07:02. > :07:04.probably my career would be even I am better than I thought.
:07:05. > :07:17.this is an amazing learning process. LAUGHTER Does it matter
:07:18. > :07:19.if players like you, I think they need to
:07:20. > :07:23.like to work with me. I think they need to understand that
:07:24. > :07:26.I am the best manager Like me, don't like me,
:07:27. > :07:34.the person, the man, I think it is fundamental
:07:35. > :07:40.that the manager is somebody the players look at and
:07:41. > :07:43.they know he is good. LAUGHTER How do you say to yourself
:07:44. > :07:57.and indeed your players, Do you set out a plan
:07:58. > :08:09.at the beginning of the season? them this is the impossible target,
:08:10. > :08:14.but the target is win every match. They know that is impossible
:08:15. > :08:18.and this season is proving How do you find other
:08:19. > :08:41.clubs and other managers? Would you send each other
:08:42. > :08:43.Christmas cards, do you chat? Three groups of managers
:08:44. > :08:52.with my Christmas cards Another one I send
:08:53. > :08:57.a personalised message. To some the Christmas
:08:58. > :09:12.cards are not big enough, I really enjoyed to write
:09:13. > :09:15.a message to a good guy. LAUGHTER When you think
:09:16. > :09:19.about the moments you are happiest away from football,
:09:20. > :09:21.what are the things that They give you peace
:09:22. > :09:24.and they make you feel alive? LAUGHTER APPLAUSE
:09:25. > :09:43.I do take that point. LAUGHTER APPLAUSE You said
:09:44. > :09:45.in an interview recently that is is impossible to go anywhere
:09:46. > :09:48.in the world without people recognising you,
:09:49. > :09:54.we put it to the test. Do you think the Massi warriors,
:09:55. > :09:57.the tribe in Kenya would know him? APPLAUSE To be fair, you have met
:09:58. > :10:07.Massi warriors in Kenya. I was there on holiday at the same
:10:08. > :10:22.time a World Cup was played in South In my hotel there was no television
:10:23. > :10:27.and they made sure that I got a television in the
:10:28. > :10:54.middle of that tribe. He has had some of the most
:10:55. > :11:00.audacious moments of brilliance, no one has warned the red shirt with so
:11:01. > :11:09.much universal admiration. He is one of the world's most wonderful
:11:10. > :11:21.footballers. Steven Gerrard 1/100 caps for England. -- 1/100. He has
:11:22. > :11:28.been at some of the club's most amazing moments, inspiring them to
:11:29. > :11:34.the Champions League success. After an emotional farewell he joined LA
:11:35. > :11:38.Galaxy and is now one of the biggest stars in MLS, please welcome a
:11:39. > :11:40.legend for club and country, Steven Gerrard. APPLAUSE
:11:41. > :11:51.CHEERING And there are a few Liverpool shirts
:11:52. > :11:57.there, but that's not all Liverpool fans, that's some Chelsea
:11:58. > :11:59.fans cheering you. The two of you are going to be fine,
:12:00. > :12:07.you are going to get Because I never knew
:12:08. > :12:12.what on earth was going on here? The funniest thing about that,
:12:13. > :12:15.it's like a five-year-old child, I've got the ball, you're
:12:16. > :12:18.not having it back. You've always admired him
:12:19. > :12:24.as a player? His blood spoke and he decided
:12:25. > :12:39.to stay at Liverpool, which I was a bit frustrated with,
:12:40. > :12:42.especially a couple of times because the third one
:12:43. > :12:51.I was convinced he was coming. --because the third one
:12:52. > :12:58.I was convinced he was not coming. You know, when Jose Mourinho comes
:12:59. > :13:04.calling it puts a player Only that I'd been at Liverpool
:13:05. > :13:11.since eight years of age and all my family are Reds
:13:12. > :13:14.and the club means so much to me. So he put me in a difficult
:13:15. > :13:26.situation three times. Yeah, it was after charity match
:13:27. > :13:30.that we held at Anfield, John Terry was kind enough
:13:31. > :13:32.to make his way down and do his bit for charity,
:13:33. > :13:35.and he handed me a letter, He just said open it,
:13:36. > :13:39.it's a surprise for you. When I got home I opened it
:13:40. > :13:43.and it was off this fella. And it was a very touching message,
:13:44. > :13:48.and the letter is now in a frame, pride of place in the house,
:13:49. > :13:53.that's what it means to me. It was a nice touch which showed
:13:54. > :13:56.the other side, what he gives Even players that have turned him
:13:57. > :14:02.down on two or three occasions, he is still humble enough
:14:03. > :14:05.and genuine to take the time out You've been training at Liverpool
:14:06. > :14:16.under Juergen Klopp, and while we have seen
:14:17. > :14:18.the softer side of Jose, of Juergen Klopp all
:14:19. > :14:22.the time, he is a hugger. He loves to hug his players,
:14:23. > :14:24.has he hugged you? Nice, he's a big guy,
:14:25. > :14:30.think he's about six feet three When these top managers come along,
:14:31. > :14:41.and they show players love, it makes you feel taller,
:14:42. > :14:43.makes you feel bigger, Are you a secret hugger,
:14:44. > :14:45.do you hug them? So where is he going to be
:14:46. > :14:56.on your Christmas card list? And there are these breaks
:14:57. > :15:03.in the MLS which is why you are here, and I think
:15:04. > :15:05.Thierry Henry did it, Robbie Keane, I think they came
:15:06. > :15:09.on loan while they were at an MLS Would you think about playing
:15:10. > :15:12.for Liverpool again? I've already had my time,
:15:13. > :15:19.it's time to move on. I'm enjoying being over in America
:15:20. > :15:22.and playing in the MLS. I'm keeping fit there at the moment
:15:23. > :15:29.and enjoying being around the staff And you are still such
:15:30. > :15:33.a fan of Liverpool, you are watching their games live
:15:34. > :15:35.when you can, aren't you? Yeah, but it is BT's fault they keep
:15:36. > :15:49.putting them on at 12:30am. If Liverpool win it is
:15:50. > :15:50.fine, you are happy. It is when you get up and they lose,
:15:51. > :15:55.that's the problem. And what are you
:15:56. > :15:56.like when you watch? Probably worse than when I played
:15:57. > :16:05.because you cannot control it. When you are playing,
:16:06. > :16:07.in the dressing room, there is something you can do,
:16:08. > :16:11.you are contributing. When you are sitting on a couch
:16:12. > :16:15.in LA there is nothing you can do except throw stuff around the house
:16:16. > :16:23.or shout and scream at the TV. You rang David Beckham for advice
:16:24. > :16:26.before you moved there, He spoke very highly of the club,
:16:27. > :16:33.Galaxy, about the level. He said I'd enjoy the life,
:16:34. > :16:41.get left alone, be able to do stuff He said I would also enjoy
:16:42. > :16:48.the league and explained it is not Premier League level
:16:49. > :16:51.but it is still good enough When we knew you were coming
:16:52. > :17:00.on the show, I got in touch with a couple of your friends to get
:17:01. > :17:03.some alternative questions. I rang your good mate John Bishop,
:17:04. > :17:06.good footballer himself actually Anyway he would not pick
:17:07. > :17:17.up the phone to me. He did leave a message
:17:18. > :17:19.on my answerphone. Can you do me a favour and ask
:17:20. > :17:23.Stevie about the injury he picked up playing against Bournemouth
:17:24. > :17:26.in the FA Cup? Well, he has given us
:17:27. > :17:39.the technical explanation, there. I went in for a slide tackle,
:17:40. > :17:50.50/50, to stop a cross, The block tackle followed through
:17:51. > :17:57.right up into the private area. No, but there was an extreme sting,
:17:58. > :18:10.and I knew the game was on TV so I had to have a slight peek
:18:11. > :18:14.and it did not look great. So I went over to Brendan
:18:15. > :18:18.and the physio, and gave the physio And he said, carry on,
:18:19. > :18:24.because it was a cup game Then I got it stitched
:18:25. > :18:35.up after the game. I tweeted your good mate Wayne
:18:36. > :18:41.Rooney. And this is what he
:18:42. > :18:53.thought I should ask. Same reason he used to rush home
:18:54. > :18:56.after games, to watch X Factor. I could imagine you judging it,
:18:57. > :19:03.you'd be brilliant. We had an after party planned if it
:19:04. > :19:21.went well, and at half-time it got But after the game we'd won
:19:22. > :19:36.and I was one of the last leave, Have you ever slept
:19:37. > :19:41.with a trophy? You've written a book which deals
:19:42. > :19:49.candidly with your 17 years I think the important
:19:50. > :19:53.thing when doing a book Be really fair to the people buying
:19:54. > :19:59.it, be as honest and genuine So much more to ask
:20:00. > :20:07.you and we are in danger of running Tactically, Rafa Benitez.
:20:08. > :20:26.quick questions you. Which manager was the worst
:20:27. > :20:32.footballer themselves in training? None of them
:20:33. > :20:34.joined in. Actually Kenny Dalglish joined
:20:35. > :20:37.in and he was pretty good, Wonderful to see you sitting next
:20:38. > :20:43.to each other, given the relationship you've had
:20:44. > :20:47.without managing to work together. So we will take this
:20:48. > :20:57.as your moment together. guest you have been,
:20:58. > :21:08.thank you so much. And now it's time to welcome our
:21:09. > :21:13.final guests. This England team made their country proud with the 2015
:21:14. > :21:19.World Cup and turned women's football into a front page,
:21:20. > :21:22.mainstream sport. The lioness is lit up the 2015 World Cup. Their
:21:23. > :21:26.third-place finish confirming them as England's most successful
:21:27. > :21:30.football team in almost 50 years. Defender Lucy Bronze announced
:21:31. > :21:33.herself on the world stage with that sensational strike against Norway.
:21:34. > :21:39.And was proclaimed one of the stars of the tournament. With over 90 caps
:21:40. > :21:42.to her name, Katie Chapman has had a dream year. As well as shining at
:21:43. > :21:46.the World Cup, the midfielder led Chelsea to a glorious double. Please
:21:47. > :21:48.welcome the pride of England's lionesses, Lucy Bronze and Katie
:21:49. > :22:12.Chapman. Welcome home. I know it seems a long
:22:13. > :22:22.time ago now, but congratulations again. Finishing third at the World
:22:23. > :22:28.Cup! APPLAUSE You watched it, didn't you? Yeah, it
:22:29. > :22:32.was so big over in the US, because their girls were going well as well.
:22:33. > :22:35.And how impressed were you with the way they picked themselves up after
:22:36. > :22:42.being beaten by Japan? I was jealous! All they've done now is put
:22:43. > :22:45.extra pressure on the lads. But no, they were fantastic and should be so
:22:46. > :22:50.proud of themselves and what they are doing for all the girls around
:22:51. > :22:54.the country. What does it mean to you to play for England? Anybody
:22:55. > :22:58.representing their country at that level, it is unbelievable. And my
:22:59. > :23:06.children were there to watch me, which was magical. You've got three
:23:07. > :23:16.boys, Steven has got three girls... Any advice? What age are yours? 11,
:23:17. > :23:21.nine and four. 12, seven and two. This is the future of England's
:23:22. > :23:26.football, here and now. And Lucy, how do you reflect on the whole
:23:27. > :23:29.World Cup? To be honest I thought I was not going to play, I thought I
:23:30. > :23:34.would be sitting on the bench. The first game came and I played left
:23:35. > :23:37.wing, and I am right back. Scored a few goals and everything kicked off
:23:38. > :23:42.for me in that sense. Because nobody knew who I was before. You ended up
:23:43. > :23:45.as one of the players of the tournament, you were in the team of
:23:46. > :23:50.the tournament and one of the reasons was discovered against
:23:51. > :23:56.Norway. COMMENTATOR: Takes a touch, couldn't get the shot away. Lucy
:23:57. > :24:01.Bronze can and does! OES! An absolute belter! England are ahead!
:24:02. > :24:09.What a strike! You know about long-range goals, how
:24:10. > :24:13.good is that and how difficult is it to do it with that power and
:24:14. > :24:17.accuracy? Probably one of the most difficult techniques of the game, to
:24:18. > :24:21.connect that well from that distance, fired into the roof of the
:24:22. > :24:27.net, a world-class finish. Difficult thing to practice. Had you
:24:28. > :24:35.practised? No! You had some official receptions, what was happening here?
:24:36. > :24:38.Karen Bardsley our goalkeeper, I think she did that. I don't know why
:24:39. > :24:42.we did that because he wanted to get pictures with us anyway and we'd met
:24:43. > :24:47.him a few times, he gave as a team talk before the Japan semifinal.
:24:48. > :24:53.Yeah, semifinal. He'd been on the speaker. We had the Prince giving
:24:54. > :24:56.our team talk. There was a tube strike on that day and I got stuck
:24:57. > :25:00.in traffic and completely missed the whole thing. Have your girls got a
:25:01. > :25:05.different attitude to trouble because of what they have been
:25:06. > :25:09.doing? Not so much my girls, I think I have sickened them with football
:25:10. > :25:13.to be honest, every time I put it on the TV, they run out, or try to the
:25:14. > :25:18.remote to put the cartoons or the American shows back on. But I'd love
:25:19. > :25:22.them to be involved. I don't know about you girls, did your parents
:25:23. > :25:27.get you into it or did you just play it in school? How did you get
:25:28. > :25:31.addicted to football? I just started playing in school, joining in with
:25:32. > :25:37.the boys in the playground. Maybe I'll try that one. I just about
:25:38. > :25:41.learned the offside rule for the World Cup, I think. I just copied my
:25:42. > :25:45.brother. You've had the most unbelievable season. The lionesses
:25:46. > :25:49.did so well, but also for your club, Chelsea, you won the league, having
:25:50. > :25:52.lost it last year on the last day, and won the FA Cup, final at Wembley
:25:53. > :25:57.for the first time which was massive. Yeah, it was history,
:25:58. > :26:01.playing in the first ever women's FA Cup at Wembley. To be on a massive
:26:02. > :26:05.stage and get the support that we did was an unbelievable moment. And
:26:06. > :26:09.the setup is changing so much, none more so than at your club,
:26:10. > :26:12.Manchester City, they did not have a women's side until two or three
:26:13. > :26:20.years ago. Last year was their first proper year in the league. Now we
:26:21. > :26:23.are the only women's team in England with our own stadium. We train at
:26:24. > :26:26.the men's crown, we have our own changing rooms, share the
:26:27. > :26:30.facilities, which is unheard of really in the women's game across
:26:31. > :26:35.the world, let alone in England. So Manchester City are really paving
:26:36. > :26:41.the way and I am so happy to be at that club. It is nearly Christmas
:26:42. > :26:46.and we know Jose will be very busy telling his secretary who to send
:26:47. > :26:49.cards to. Steven, normally over Christmas you would be getting ready
:26:50. > :26:56.for Boxing Day match and not eating a lot on Christmas Day? Know, very
:26:57. > :26:59.light. Most Christmas night I am in a hotel preparing for Boxing Day
:27:00. > :27:04.fixtures. What will be different this year? I'll be having a glass of
:27:05. > :27:09.wine or a beer. Quite a tradition of Christmas parties at various clubs.
:27:10. > :27:15.And then being fancy dress parties. Yeah... I've been to a few lively
:27:16. > :27:19.ones over the years. Will you get invited back this year? I haven't
:27:20. > :27:24.yet, no. We'll have to see how the next couple of weeks ago. But I'm
:27:25. > :27:28.available. Get that invitation out there. When it's fancy dress you
:27:29. > :27:33.really make an effort. This was very good. The main thing with fancy
:27:34. > :27:45.dress, if you are going to do it, do it properly. So who is this? Peter
:27:46. > :27:54.Crouch. Correct. And who is that? Ramsay? As Rambo, absolutely. And
:27:55. > :28:05.what about this one? Gareth Barry? Very good. Finally, who is this? I
:28:06. > :28:17.think that is the best fancy dress I've ever seen. How many hours in
:28:18. > :28:23.make-up did that take? That is amazing. It's not make up, it's a
:28:24. > :28:26.mask. It's a great effort. It is. I just had to go to my grandad's to
:28:27. > :28:34.get all the clothes. Very good effort. If you do get invited to the
:28:35. > :28:38.Liverpool fancy dress party, send us a photo. Sure. Thank you so much,
:28:39. > :28:47.we've reached the end of the show, make sure you come back. I will be
:28:48. > :28:53.joint by Mark Webber and AP McCoy next time. To Jose Mourinho, Steven
:28:54. > :28:56.Gerrard, Katie Chapman, Lucy Bronze, many thanks, and thank you at home
:28:57. > :28:58.for watching. See you soon, good night.
