:00:08. > :00:19.A site that has never been seen before, a super successful football
:00:20. > :00:32.manager, hockey champion being coached in the art of ski jumping!
:00:33. > :00:47.APPLAUSE CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:00:48. > :00:53.Thank you very much! Thank you, hello and welcome to the
:00:54. > :00:57.programme-macro, and what a line-up we have tonight, my three guests, as
:00:58. > :01:01.you have seen, are just terrific sport, and they have battled their
:01:02. > :01:07.way to the very pinnacle of their individual activities, captivating
:01:08. > :01:10.the public along the way, here to share their fascinating stories. One
:01:11. > :01:16.of Britain's most recognisable and best loved sportsmen and his
:01:17. > :01:19.legendary performance at the 1988 Winter Olympics will soon be
:01:20. > :01:25.immortalised in a Hollywood film, it is Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards!
:01:26. > :01:30.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE And she is one of Britain's greatest
:01:31. > :01:34.ever hockey stars with over 300 international appearances, aiming to
:01:35. > :01:37.add to her impressive medal tally at the Rio Olympics, one of our
:01:38. > :01:44.greatest ever athletes, I think, Kate Richardson-Walsh is here!
:01:45. > :01:49.But first up tonight, one of Britain's finest and most respected
:01:50. > :01:53.football managers, who has led two of the Premier League's biggest
:01:54. > :01:58.clubs and worked with the brightest stars. He led Everton for 11 years,
:01:59. > :02:02.in which he was named manager of the year three times and steered the
:02:03. > :02:05.club to Champions League qualification, whilst bringing
:02:06. > :02:10.through some of the biggest stars in the game. Hugely admired, it was no
:02:11. > :02:13.surprise that Sir Alex Ferguson chose David Moyes as his successor
:02:14. > :02:18.at Old Trafford. Following an eventful season, they parted ways,
:02:19. > :02:24.but he accepted another huge challenge, heading to Spain to take
:02:25. > :02:28.charge of Real Sociedad. A top manager, one of the biggest names in
:02:29. > :02:34.British football, please welcome David Moyes.
:02:35. > :02:43.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hi! Have a seat.
:02:44. > :02:49.David, thank you so much for doing the show, and also for having a
:02:50. > :02:56.sense of humour enough to jump off a sofa with Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards.
:02:57. > :03:01.Really enjoyable! I don't think Jose Mourinho would have done that. I
:03:02. > :03:06.think Evie was on with Eddie, he would have! Can you go to a match
:03:07. > :03:12.and enjoy it, or do you find all the press are looking at you, and the
:03:13. > :03:17.managers are thinking, why is here? Am I going to be sacked? I love
:03:18. > :03:22.going to the games, not taking anybody's job, that is the last
:03:23. > :03:26.thing I would do, certainly after my situation, I go to enjoy football,
:03:27. > :03:30.but I go to keep my knowledge up. If you offered the chance to do the
:03:31. > :03:34.Manchester United job again, would you, what would you do differently?
:03:35. > :03:39.I wouldn't do anything different and less I had known it was ten months
:03:40. > :03:45.instead of six years. -- unless. Everybody knows that if you have
:03:46. > :03:49.that sort of span, it changes how you think. My understanding was
:03:50. > :03:52.going to a club which looked after their managers, even when they were
:03:53. > :03:57.in trouble, and it wasn't going well, you got time to sort things
:03:58. > :04:01.out. I had a great group of players, they have recently won the Premier
:04:02. > :04:05.League under Sir Alex, but it was going to take time for that to
:04:06. > :04:09.change, evolve, and there was going to be a changeover in time. But it
:04:10. > :04:14.couldn't be done in ten months. Would I take it again? Of course I
:04:15. > :04:18.would, very few managers in the world who wouldn't want to manage
:04:19. > :04:23.Manchester United. It has to be the biggest compliment to any person
:04:24. > :04:28.that Sir Alex Ferguson BECTU and supported you as much as he could.
:04:29. > :04:32.-- picked you. He did, a lot of people had said many times, it
:04:33. > :04:36.didn't help - I thought it did help, he was great, I would speak to him
:04:37. > :04:42.after games, we met privately three or four macro times in the period I
:04:43. > :04:46.was there. All the things which were said or written, so much of it was
:04:47. > :04:50.untrue, and it is difficult, it is not easy to come out and say all the
:04:51. > :04:56.things that you want to say, but Sir Alex was good to me, the club were
:04:57. > :05:00.good to me, no problems at all. As we speak at the moment, Louis van
:05:01. > :05:04.Gaal is still at Manchester United, you talked about the level of
:05:05. > :05:11.criticism that they get, do you empathise with him in the sense that
:05:12. > :05:14.it is not easy? I think, after Sir Alex, the job was always going to be
:05:15. > :05:18.very difficult. It was going to take time to rebuild, it was a rebuilding
:05:19. > :05:23.job at Manchester United, and you have to remember that David Gill
:05:24. > :05:27.left, a big influence at Manchester United, and even what Manchester
:05:28. > :05:32.United stand for is that they keep their managers, they have always
:05:33. > :05:36.supported their managers before, so I hope they stick with Louis van
:05:37. > :05:41.Gaal, he deserves more time. They do not want to become a club which
:05:42. > :05:46.continuously changes their manager. We don't want to see that. Having
:05:47. > :05:50.worked abroad, would you say the press in the UK is tougher than
:05:51. > :05:55.other countries, the level of intrusion and criticism? I think the
:05:56. > :06:00.press are the same, but I think the media in Spain, you know, I mean the
:06:01. > :06:03.way they analyse Real Madrid and Barcelona is incredible, and you can
:06:04. > :06:07.see the players talking with their hand over their mouth, because they
:06:08. > :06:12.are being lip-read, so the players cannot speak openly, the coaches
:06:13. > :06:16.cannot speak. The one thing in Spain, me and Billy McKinlay were
:06:17. > :06:19.there, both Scottish, they could not understand
:06:20. > :06:23.there, both Scottish, they could not need to do that! They didn't have a
:06:24. > :06:27.clue what we were talking about! The highlights of your time at Real
:06:28. > :06:31.Sociedad, I imagine, beating Barcelona, would you put that
:06:32. > :06:35.Sociedad, I imagine, beating top? Definitely, that is
:06:36. > :06:36.Sociedad, I imagine, beating signing, I should say! Beating
:06:37. > :06:36.Barcelona, signing, I should say! Beating
:06:37. > :06:45.tried, it is so difficult, they like a double-decker bus, score a
:06:46. > :06:51.goal in the first it. Manager of the year three times
:06:52. > :06:57.at Everton, why were you so successful there? Evidence suited me
:06:58. > :06:59.exactly at the time. -- Everton. It was a great time in my career, and I
:07:00. > :07:04.have got to say, I was really was a great time in my career, and I
:07:05. > :07:08.fortunate to work with good people and players. Some of it is also
:07:09. > :07:10.fortunate to work with good people developing young talent, and the
:07:11. > :07:15.brightest star of all was Wayne Rooney. When did you think, that boy
:07:16. > :07:23.is going to be a superstar? I just got the job, and we had a game, I
:07:24. > :07:27.think it was the semifinal of the FA Youth Cup, and Wayne was playing,
:07:28. > :07:31.and he scored, and I walked down onto the pitch, the boys were doing
:07:32. > :07:37.a cool down, I tapped him, and I said you will be with me next year,
:07:38. > :07:42.son. It was natural in him, he had a great fire in his belly to be a
:07:43. > :07:47.player. And, you know, he has gone on to prove and break so many
:07:48. > :07:51.records. How do you assess him right now in his career? Because he
:07:52. > :07:56.started so young, is he bound to start fading early? Years having a
:07:57. > :08:00.tough time just now, but I think he will come through it again. -- he is
:08:01. > :08:04.having. I think he will go on to be a midfield player and play again,
:08:05. > :08:09.but at the moment he is still such a good goal-scorer, you know, you
:08:10. > :08:14.don't want to give that up just yet. So much I want to ask you, so
:08:15. > :08:21.quickfire quiz, give me the first answer that comes into your head,
:08:22. > :08:27.and they will do if you pass! Best player? Wayne Rooney. Greatest win
:08:28. > :08:38.as a manager? Barcelona. Could you ever manage Liverpool? Yeah!
:08:39. > :08:50.Pass! Manager you have most enjoyed beating. It was whoever was managing
:08:51. > :08:55.Liverpool. LAUGHTER
:08:56. > :08:58.APPLAUSE And that me and said the previous
:08:59. > :09:04.question when you said pass! Fair enough, he has and said most of
:09:05. > :09:07.them! -- that may answer. Time to introduce our second guest, one of
:09:08. > :09:12.our greatest ever hockey players, and with British hockey on the rise
:09:13. > :09:17.again, she is set to star at her fourth Olympic Games. A born leader,
:09:18. > :09:21.Kate Richardson-Walsh has captained the England and Great Britain hockey
:09:22. > :09:26.teams for over ten years. She led England to a
:09:27. > :09:29.teams for over ten years. She led world champions Holland at 2015's
:09:30. > :09:34.Eurohockey tournament, and now she is aiming for Rio with Great Britain
:09:35. > :09:38.having already won Olympic bronze at the London games.
:09:39. > :09:39.having already won Olympic bronze at hockey superstars, please welcome
:09:40. > :09:55.Kate Richardson-Walsh! CHEERING
:09:56. > :10:02.We have got a lot of hockey fans into night, they are very excited
:10:03. > :10:07.that you are on. For those who might not be as familiar as these fun at!,
:10:08. > :10:14.it is incredible, you have appeared at 80 Eurohockey championships, four
:10:15. > :10:20.Commonwealth Games, as well as the Champions Trophy, the challenge
:10:21. > :10:23.trophy, the world league. -- eight Eurohockey championships. She broke
:10:24. > :10:29.her jaw and played on at the tournament. She is basically...
:10:30. > :10:33.CHEERING And she led her site to a bronze
:10:34. > :10:38.medal at the Olympics, what is your number one? It is so hard, it is a
:10:39. > :10:44.tie between the European gold medal and the Olympic bronze medal. The
:10:45. > :10:49.European is the most recent. Awesome game, to come from 2-0 down against
:10:50. > :10:55.the reigning world and Olympic champions... It was here in the
:10:56. > :10:59.Olympic Park, wasn't it? I'm sure some of you were watching, and it
:11:00. > :11:06.really did make the difference, the support was amazing. From 2-0 down,
:11:07. > :11:10.talk as clue what happened. We had kept two penalty corners up our
:11:11. > :11:16.sleeves, but they did not go to plan, either of them. We had to find
:11:17. > :11:21.a way to win, and we found a way to make it work. By hook or by crook,
:11:22. > :11:27.we were going to take the game two penalties. Fantastic reflex is, it
:11:28. > :11:33.goes to penalties. My wife, Helen Richardson-Walsh, she was fouled,
:11:34. > :11:38.she had to take the penalty stroke. Maddie Hinch, the best goalkeeper,
:11:39. > :11:43.came and saved as. She was amazing, watch the celebration! And I would
:11:44. > :11:48.like to make it clear that she actually survived that. Because she
:11:49. > :11:55.is here onstage with you lifting the trophy. She was injured, mind you,
:11:56. > :11:58.we did injure her knee. I get worried about this, it always
:11:59. > :12:04.happens in football, have you ever told players not to jump on each
:12:05. > :12:07.other? I think you want them to celebrate, that is part of it, you
:12:08. > :12:11.want them to engage with the supporters. But you do worry a bit
:12:12. > :12:15.about injuries, and some players have done somersaults, if you can
:12:16. > :12:22.remember, and damage to themselves. We had to ban the somersaults. Do
:12:23. > :12:27.captain? I absolutely love it, I heard use big about being a football
:12:28. > :12:31.manager, it is the same for me, it is an obsession, every waking
:12:32. > :12:35.thought I am thinking about the players, the team, the tactics, the
:12:36. > :12:39.next tournament, it is constant, nonstop. And hockey seems to be on
:12:40. > :12:47.the rise at the moment. Certainly off the back of London 2012, we saw
:12:48. > :12:50.a huge influx of people rejoining clubs, we have helped inspire a new
:12:51. > :12:59.generation of players, I really feel proud we have created that. The team
:13:00. > :13:03.have qualified for Rio 2016. Easily, haven't they? Yeah. But you do not
:13:04. > :13:09.know whether you will be part of the team. There is a squad of 31, and we
:13:10. > :13:14.will train all the way up to the Olympic Games, until the selection
:13:15. > :13:18.around June time. But you are up for selection, which wasn't going to be
:13:19. > :13:24.the case, after the Commonwealth Games, you had said you were
:13:25. > :13:28.retiring. Yeah, I was feeling my age, and mentally I found it a very
:13:29. > :13:32.tough year, and I just needed a break. The Commonwealth Games, I
:13:33. > :13:35.think, did revive the energy in me again, and by the end of the
:13:36. > :13:40.Commonwealth Games I have made my decision that I did want to come
:13:41. > :13:45.back, but I knew I had to take a break, I wasn't doing myself or the
:13:46. > :13:53.team justice. What did you do in the break? Up by coming back, I was
:13:54. > :13:56.going to have to come back and train with the show I was worthy of a
:13:57. > :14:03.place in the squad. I didn't really take time off. -- and train with the
:14:04. > :14:09.development squad to show I was worthy.
:14:10. > :14:18.She was in rehab. She had two back surgeries and she put in the hours
:14:19. > :14:22.by herself to get that into shape. You supported her by going around
:14:23. > :14:31.the world? Yes, slightly controversial, thank you! It was a
:14:32. > :14:35.self is decision. -- selfish. Helen supported me in that selfish
:14:36. > :14:41.decision and now we both the better for it but I just needed that time
:14:42. > :14:46.get away. Why do you think it is same-sex relationships are so much
:14:47. > :14:53.more accepted in women's sport and nobody cares but in men's sport, it
:14:54. > :14:57.is not often talked about? Myself growing up, I grew up around a
:14:58. > :15:04.hockey team, my mum played and it was completely acceptable. Women
:15:05. > :15:09.with women, women with men, it was part of their life. My dad played
:15:10. > :15:15.cricket and there was nothing like that. I don't know, I just hope that
:15:16. > :15:19.somebody will come out. I think it will be a big news story initially
:15:20. > :15:26.and then hopefully just make it normal. Four men in sport. It is
:15:27. > :15:33.hard. I think it is hard and there is a stigma and a tabboo and I would
:15:34. > :15:38.love to see that barrier broken down and it is one of the last barriers
:15:39. > :15:42.in sport. David, it will take the right manager to guide that player
:15:43. > :15:46.and help make them feel secure and confident and there is an argument
:15:47. > :15:50.to say they would improve as a player. If they are not hiding
:15:51. > :15:58.something any more. Yes, I think it is big, think -- becoming more
:15:59. > :16:03.common and rightly so. I had Thomas Hitzlsperger at Everton and I did
:16:04. > :16:09.not know. It is not easy, the abuse you could get. I do understand the
:16:10. > :16:13.reasons why people do not. The band would find anything to abuse you
:16:14. > :16:18.over. Of course. Would you have a conversation with Thomas and as why
:16:19. > :16:22.he did not feel he could come out at Everton? I have only seen him once
:16:23. > :16:26.since he left but when I do meet with him in time, I would love to
:16:27. > :16:31.talk to him and to see how he felt at that time among the group and the
:16:32. > :16:40.players. But he was a really good player and a good bloke. Not many
:16:41. > :16:44.people break their jaw in the first match of an Olympic Games and say, I
:16:45. > :16:50.will put this strapping on with the Team GB logo on it still! And two
:16:51. > :16:57.matches later, I will play on through it. It just seems a bit
:16:58. > :17:01.surreal. As I said to everybody, you would do exactly the same in my
:17:02. > :17:06.position. If you have trained or your life for this moment to have a
:17:07. > :17:09.once in a lifetime opportunity to play at the Olympics, a home crowd,
:17:10. > :17:14.a medal contender, whatever the surgeon said, I was going to grab
:17:15. > :17:19.the possibility. He would be the contenders for medals in Rio? I
:17:20. > :17:24.would think we would be there or thereabouts. We did not do so well
:17:25. > :17:29.in the recent tournament in Argentina but we definitely are
:17:30. > :17:33.pushing the medal positions. The likes of Holland, Australia,
:17:34. > :17:38.Argentina. And ourselves, and New Zealand, America. So an exciting
:17:39. > :17:43.Olympic Games. Is that it bore you, the Olympics? If you get selected
:17:44. > :17:50.and I know you keep giving that as a warning. -- is that your last
:17:51. > :17:55.tournament. Yes, that will be my last tournament. Body, mind and soul
:17:56. > :17:59.need to move on. It is going to be difficult but it must come at some
:18:00. > :18:04.point. Would you consider coaching as your next move? I would love to
:18:05. > :18:08.coach. I love the game. I have this knowledge from over the years and
:18:09. > :18:12.you can replace it but it is as close as you would get to playing. I
:18:13. > :18:19.know you would be very successful at that as well. It is time to welcome
:18:20. > :18:23.our final guest. He captivated the world in 1988 with his performance
:18:24. > :18:27.at the Calgary Winter Olympics. His life story is about to hit the big
:18:28. > :18:30.screen and he is hugely popular and greatly loved, please welcome Eddie
:18:31. > :18:44.'the Eagle' Edwards! APPLAUSE. I love the fact you even give a halt
:18:45. > :18:53.as if you are flying through I love the fact you even give a halt
:18:54. > :19:00.air! Even that is designed! How as a little boy do you dream of ski
:19:01. > :19:04.jumping in a country that has no ski jumping? I did not originally want
:19:05. > :19:07.to start ski jumping, it just turned out. I started on a
:19:08. > :19:12.to start ski jumping, it just turned at 13 and I loved it. I came from
:19:13. > :19:15.Cheltenham and Gloucester had one of the biggest dry ski slopes in the
:19:16. > :19:22.country and I was there every night after school, the weekends,
:19:23. > :19:27.holidays, and it took over my life. Skiing is one thing but ski jumping
:19:28. > :19:32.is another. Do you remember the first time? That is not something
:19:33. > :19:39.you can do by half measures. I remember every one of my ski jumps!
:19:40. > :19:45.About 65,000. I started my first in Lake Placid in New York. I was there
:19:46. > :19:50.racing. I ran out of money and I saw the jumps and thought we had Alpine
:19:51. > :19:53.skiers and cross-country and Biathlon but never a jumper and I
:19:54. > :20:00.thought I would give it a go. Kate is shaking her head! You would never
:20:01. > :20:08.get me on a ski jump. We should remind everybody a deep's ski-jumper
:20:09. > :20:15.in Calgary in 1988. -- Eddy's. Cheltenham's favourite
:20:16. > :20:17.and a lot of the people here today to see Eddie. Conditions very safe.
:20:18. > :20:33.No obstacles. There you are coming he is safely
:20:34. > :20:38.down. Listen to the crowd. It is not an enormous jump by any standards
:20:39. > :20:47.but it is a British record, you have seen it here. He has made it as a
:20:48. > :20:53.ski-jumper. 71 metres. Eddie the Eagle. The crowd love him. He is not
:20:54. > :20:57.going to get high style marks, he knows that coming he has never
:20:58. > :21:01.impressed the judges yet with his style.
:21:02. > :21:05.APPLAUSE. Britain's first ever ski-jumper at
:21:06. > :21:11.the Winter Olympics. And as they said, the crowd loved you, it was
:21:12. > :21:16.massive. 89,500 people. Amazing. Even before you competed they loved
:21:17. > :21:19.you. They were mad for you at the airport. Yes, there was a banner
:21:20. > :21:24.saying, welcome to airport. Yes, there was a banner
:21:25. > :21:29.the Eagle. I said, who is that? They said, that is you. They named you?
:21:30. > :21:33.Yes, a group of supporters from a company in Calgary. You stuck with
:21:34. > :21:38.it and it has worked. It is very dangerous as a sport and we talked
:21:39. > :21:43.about hockey and football with injuries. You were in hospital many
:21:44. > :21:49.times. What sort of injuries... Always cheerful in-hospital! What
:21:50. > :21:55.the classic ski jumping injuries? Most injuries happen to the upper
:21:56. > :21:59.body. Because the take-off, you dive headfirst out of your skis. When
:22:00. > :22:04.something goes wrong, you land headfirst so the most common
:22:05. > :22:11.injuries, broken collar bone, though, jaw and broken ribs. And you
:22:12. > :22:17.have the occasion when the wind picks you up and you land in the
:22:18. > :22:23.crowd. You can break everything! Lucky there is no wind here tonight.
:22:24. > :22:29.When you sit on that very cold bar at the top of the vertical descent,
:22:30. > :22:33.what are you trying to think in your head that makes you not think about
:22:34. > :22:38.landing in the crowd? Or on your head. You only think about the
:22:39. > :22:43.technique that has been drummed into you. Away from the ski-jumper all
:22:44. > :22:51.your training, it is specific technique. You look at your coach.
:22:52. > :22:56.He will give you the signal. It has got to start from that bar because
:22:57. > :23:01.if you do not stop herself from the moment you leave that, it is all
:23:02. > :23:06.over. Once you start going down, you accelerate so fast and you need to
:23:07. > :23:11.be balanced on your skis or you cannot regain that balance and on
:23:12. > :23:14.the take-off, you bunch of cells forward and you fly. It is a
:23:15. > :23:22.fantastic viewing when you get it right. Terrifying when you get it
:23:23. > :23:28.wrong. You are not selling it to me! How many balls did you have? Out of
:23:29. > :23:34.65,000 jumps, I only fell about the Jose Mourinho or nine times. I
:23:35. > :23:43.fractured my collarbone and I broke my jaw. Not bad, then! I was all
:23:44. > :23:47.right. How did you find that? I had bits of sponsorship but most of the
:23:48. > :23:52.time I slept in the car and in a cow shed and in a barn. I did it that
:23:53. > :23:57.way and I had no real sponsorship. The teams are used to give me
:23:58. > :24:02.equipment. The Italian national jumping team gave me a helmet and
:24:03. > :24:07.goggles, West Germany a suit, Austria a pair of skis, the Swiss
:24:08. > :24:13.coaching, the French coaching. I thought, instead of jumping for
:24:14. > :24:17.Great Britain, I should jump for the United Nations! So much camaraderie,
:24:18. > :24:24.it was great. You stole the show at Calgary. Unfortunately! It was my
:24:25. > :24:30.good looks! It was, definitely! Moustache. Why did we never see you
:24:31. > :24:35.at another Winter Olympics afterwards? Unfortunately for the
:24:36. > :24:41.ordinary everyday people who loved me and what I represented, that I
:24:42. > :24:47.exemplified the Olympic spirit, the officials hated it and said it was
:24:48. > :24:49.not right that a guy in 58 should get more attention than the guy
:24:50. > :24:55.winning the event and they thought I was making a mockery of the sport
:24:56. > :25:00.and bringing it into disrepute. So they brought out the Eddie the Eagle
:25:01. > :25:05.more and you have to qualify for the World Championships and Olympic
:25:06. > :25:10.Games and have to be ranked at 50, in the top 50 of your sport or be in
:25:11. > :25:14.the top 50% qualify. That was a shame because they misinterpreted
:25:15. > :25:18.what was happening and why. Instead of using me as a vehicle to help
:25:19. > :25:22.promote skiing and jumping and promote the Olympics, they slammed
:25:23. > :25:28.the door in my face and said, we don't want you, go away. You almost
:25:29. > :25:34.too successful for your own good because you were invited on chat
:25:35. > :25:39.shows. Johnny Carson. After the 120 metres at Calgary, we have five days
:25:40. > :25:45.before the closing ceremony and they flew me to LA and I met Johnny
:25:46. > :25:50.Carson. I was on with Burt Reynolds and I still have his number. I did
:25:51. > :25:53.the Wogan show several times, might they did not touch the ground for
:25:54. > :25:59.three years, I opened shopping centres, golf courses. You have had
:26:00. > :26:03.a varied career. Went back to school and I studied law and I did a law
:26:04. > :26:09.degree and I went back to building and I still do building and
:26:10. > :26:13.plastering. In between my Eddie the Eagle work, motivational speaking
:26:14. > :26:17.and television, I plaster ceilings and walls and do buildings and
:26:18. > :26:22.extensions. That is my bread and butter. Do people know it is you
:26:23. > :26:25.they are barking? Sometimes sometimes I have gone in and
:26:26. > :26:32.plastered a ceiling and they have the number wise. I keep it quiet,
:26:33. > :26:37.somebody rings it up. Let's talk about the film. It is called Eddie
:26:38. > :26:42.the Eagle and it is in cinemas on April the 1st. But a flavour, this
:26:43. > :26:48.is a bit of the trailer. As we embark on a new era for
:26:49. > :26:55.sport... There is an opportunity to discover a new kind of athlete.
:26:56. > :27:06.Hands up, that was my fault! For as long as I can remember, it has been
:27:07. > :27:11.my ambition to become an Olympian. Eddie, you are not an athlete! You
:27:12. > :27:16.are right, I am never going to go to the Olympics, I am going to the
:27:17. > :27:23.Winter Olympics. Applause.
:27:24. > :27:30.Where were you when you found out the film was going to be made? In a
:27:31. > :27:40.well-known supermarket in Stroud and I had a phone call and was, is this
:27:41. > :27:46.Eddie? This is pundit. Do you know who I am? I said, not really. --
:27:47. > :27:51.this is Matthew Vaughn. He said, I have bought the rights to your movie
:27:52. > :27:56.and we begin filming in two months. I said, great, thanks. He said Hugh
:27:57. > :28:02.Jackman is playing the coach and Taron Egerton. I said, who is he? He
:28:03. > :28:09.said committee is in my film. He is playing Q. Mr Bob Walken as well. To
:28:10. > :28:14.be part of that, fantastic! -- Christopher. What did you think
:28:15. > :28:20.about the choice of Taron Egerton to play you? He has something of you.
:28:21. > :28:24.Yes, amazing. I sat with him for three hours at Pinewood Studios and
:28:25. > :28:31.he has my accent and my mannerisms. He has done a fantastic job. Can we
:28:32. > :28:35.come to the premiere? Yes. I have enjoyed having you on the sober. We
:28:36. > :28:40.have reached the end of the show but come back because next time I will
:28:41. > :28:45.be joined by Paralympian and grand slam tennis ace Jordanne Whiley and
:28:46. > :28:52.boxing superstar David Haye. Thank you to my fantastic guests, to Eddie
:28:53. > :28:56.'the Eagle' Edwards, Kate Richardson-Walsh and David Moyes! We
:28:57. > :29:03.will see you very soon, thank you, good eye. -- goodbye.
:29:04. > :29:07.Listen to that cheer. It's going to be our year.
