Kolo Touré, a stalwart of the Premier League, is not just a football player but a symbol of resilience and determination. With a career spanning top clubs including Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, Toure's name is synonymous with grit, leadership, and unwavering commitment on the pitch.
In this episode, Kolo Touré joins Jake and Damian for a conversation blending reflection and insider insights into his football journey. From meeting Arsène Wenger for the first time, to reflecting on the “invincibles” era at Arsenal, Kolo shares insights into how one of the league’s most legendary teams was built.
Transitioning to Manchester City, he discusses the struggle of instilling a winning mentality at a new club. Despite setbacks, including a suspension for a substance abuse accusation, Kolo highlights how he persevered; returning alongside his brother Yaya to win the Premier League in dramatic fashion in 2012.
Kolo also discusses how when his career moved onto Liverpool, he faced new pressures and expectations. He shares how he embraced the challenge, and how eager he was to prove himself to the fans and his new team.
This episode encapsulates Kolo's remarkable journey; from exhilarating moments within some of the country’s most established clubs, to inspiring encounters with Arsène Wenger, and his biggest personal challenges and triumphs.

He’s a true Arsenal Legend never forgotten! Kolo should’ve been our captain.
After Cole leaving, Wenger trusting Gallas instead of Kolo was criminal and the start of the downfall.
Kolo will never be forgotten at Leicester city either. A man with a beautiful soul.
Kolo Toure will never be forgotten!
A forgotten Hero for Man City?😂😂😂
It should be David Dunn being interviewed.
Drug cheat....
The black exellence is not dead
@@rogermoore3991 He wasn't excellent.
@@alanbstard2368 the fuck you mean, Kolo easily top 3 defender in history
Kolo, he speaks very well. Wish him all the best in his managerial career, and in life generally.
As an LFC fan, I loved having Toure at the club for the time we had him. Great professional who gave it everyone.
Toure was my idol .
As a west African I loved this guy .
Modelled my game around this guy and it hurt me when he was sold to city to keep galas I never understood that and still don’t
He’s my legend
Only one kolo
The guys should have mentioned the best song ever .. yaya yaya yaya yaya toure, kolo kolo kolo, kolo kolo toure✌
Mad how someone like Kolo is forgotten, bro is a legend
Double invincible! how many players can say that? Deserved all the success he achieved
he is a great man..thank you sir Toure
Kolo leaked a secret: it's all in the hard, intense training. Think of it like putting on weights while running. During the real competition, without those weights, you fly.
Our Kolo COYG❤❤❤
Pleasant interview i hope you out their enjoyed it as much as i did
Great interview 👍
I can see why so many managers loved Kolo. Proper positive infectious personality.
Arsene Wenger's strength was eventually his weakness.
He was spoilt by the individual qualities of the invincible team. When Morinho came, he couldn't match up cos Morinho did a lot of homework on the opposition team.
love the bloke ❤
Brilliant interview...great career Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Celtic. Well done Kolo...from a Man Utd fan
Great content, great quality, thanks keep on going
The last bit is just brilliant!
World cup! 👉
Underrated
When he arrived at arsenal ....in his first training session he tackled henry then Wenger says kolo don't do that !!!😂
Kolo Toure will be a beautiful manager
Nine games as Wigan manager.
No wins
Six losses
Three draws.
Worst manager we ever had at wigan ,not a clue ,I mean no hard feelings but so inept
I’ve got nothing but love and respect for kolo. I’ve just a feeling he isn’t ruthless enough to be a manger. When the players might need a bollocking, I feel he wouldn’t do that.
The lower levels require something different from what you’d do at the clubs he played for. Especially with social media facing players.
True gentleman legendary human being
Legend
Hope he gets back into management
He was a winner at arsenal before any club he went to
There is no need to be upset.
Harry Kane, et al ...hyped....only
26:00 definitely Gallas who was toxic
Very interesting interraction with Kolo but the moment for me was the three non negotiable behaviours. Respect,Discipline and Commitment. Good job Kolo!!
The kop atmosphere 🤣🤣❤️
Forgotten player? Your tripping
This is pretty much a damning verdict on Gallas' time in Arsenal. Same story from Jack Wilshere too.
Gallas was not fit to wear the AFC shirt!! and he clearly didn’t want to be at our club either ⚽️⚽️
Lescott and others said Kolo Toure was the real leader at City. Media love to promote Kompany instead
Euro is close
Hope he gets back into management with bolton wanderers ,wafc😂
A legend at clubs he play for: Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool. He's loved by all.
I understand that he wanted more money. But Arsenal fans don't respect him as much because of that. Same with RVP. As a manager what would he say to stop players doing the same? So he will lose any talent he manages to richer clubs.
Kolo Toure is not forgotten at AFC! He’s loved and a legend at Arsenal! Total bs he’s forgotten! Wenger made a big mistake making rat Gallas captain over Kolo. Gallas repaid Wenger by joining Tottenham. Some captain!
I have to admit I have forgotten who he is
Great player at Arsenal but never the same after he got malaria, at City he was shockingly poor.
He couldn't wait to jump ship to Cheaty.
@@HarryCallahan-tf3qr Not won the title in 20 years anyone would jump ship from the Arse
@andrewgurney6019 Huh your saying then he left Arsenal this season then that would make it 20 years??? You 🤡
Great at liverpool, best player on the pitch at the bearnabeou
You destroyed Wigan fc
Who forgot 😂 Clickbait BS
But u came a winner at city not at arsenal
How old are 10 ? Kolo is a Arsenal
Invincible
It's not too late to delete this comment 😂 do your research kolo won trophies with arsenal
Next
Aapsolootley
This guy is a good player, but he is an illitrate, simple question stupid answers, dont make any superstars your role model because they are only intelligent with scripts and camera after that nothing else
Another Mercenary who couldn't wait to jump ship to Cheaty!
Haha that's funny, I suppose any player that signs for whatever team you support loves you is a wonderful person, player and loves you!
😂
@@terryjames9535 You silly person
He was at Arsenal for 7 years bro lol
@@ivailoshkafov9033 So
He left because of the toxicity with Gallas not for money, please stop the lies.
Legend
