Ian Wright is a stand up guy who has lots of respect in Leeds.
He supported Eddie Nketiah whilst in Leeds and Ian is always welcome in our city.
Wrighty's respected by generations
(not just a generation) of football
fans. He's a legend!
And this Kalvin lad aint bad either!
A Leeds legend in the making.
Oh my gosh , you are a goddess
Kalvin Phillips is a cut above to be honest. Hope he finishes his career at Leeds as a one club player wearing the no.4 shirt like Billy - The Yorkshire Pirlo đ€đđ
Woulnt say that.wright sas a great player,but a crap pundit.
@@rorybrennan360 Great players tend
to be elevated to legend status by
football fans, Rory...not by way of
their punditry!
going back to his roots , never leaves a professional footballer, no matter how much money he makes nowadays . two top geezers
Kalvin is such a nice, genuine lad and itâs really great to see him doing so well. ALAW
Thanks granny Val for making him stay.
Love this as a Liverpool fan. Much respect to this lad and Leeds. Footballers need more nans like Val.
RIP Nanny Val
@Kane Absolutely mate, just in my specific comment I was referring to his Nan telling him No to Villa haha. Respect to all the parents who take the time out for young footballer's schedules.
Literally đđ»đđ„șđ me at that moment interview.
Love this guy. What a man. Absolute baller but extraordinarily humble.
As a Gooner,I think this fellas Great,real down to Earth Love watching Leeds play.
Wrighty is a really nice guy and a proper EPL legend. If Kalvin gets anywhere near him then that will be great MOT
Two of the most likeable personalities in football
Gotta love Wrighty
You really don't. He's a wanker.
No you havenât heâs a bbc yes man, we donât like southern puffters up North đ
Could be worse. He could be northern
Also, not sure how he was an idol of Phillips when he stopped playing 10 years before he was born lol.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 probably just someone who he looks up too. Wrighty was a great player so understandable if he feels that way about him.
Typical of some snotty teacher wanting to suppress somebody's dreams and talent because it's something outside "The Curriculum", what a way to give a classy two fingers up at them.
So glad Kalvin stayed with us and love how him and his family are. As for Ian Wright, he's one of them rare blokes who was outstandingly gifted and even if he played now on a million a week he'd still be that working class gent we all want a beer or three with! Great video.
Public Schools are designed to brainwash the kids and get them ready for a life of working, endless taxes and pay back loans and mortgages.
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 Well said.
I see both of you are oblivious to the fact that for every Kalvin Phillips there are 100 kids who binned off school to "pursue their dream" of becoming a footballer and are now working in Tesco or on the dole (paid for by everyone else's "endless taxes").
@@MrJackWagstaff Well stone me! we clearly didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out to us. Yeah you are absolutely correct. how stupid of children for daring to dream and chase their dreams, whatever they may be? By the way, allow me to let you in on a little secret...you weren't born to become just a wage slave, you know? The problem with you Jacky poos, is you only think about money, which is such a shame because life has so much more to offer than bits of paper printed out of thin air whenever it takes the banks fancy. Adios.
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 there's nothing wrong with dreaming so long as the reality of the situation is pointed out to kids. As Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford have recently been pointing out only 0.012% of kids that start out actually make it to the Premier League. You can be the best player in your team as a kid but if on the day the scout turns up you have a bad game you miss your chance and can spend the rest of your formative days chasing a dream that never happens. Then you might get lucky and get signed by a club but in a physical contact game you're only one bad tackle away from the end of your career. My son's, sister-in-law's partner was on Bradford' City's books but got a bad knee injury that finished his career at 16. His is far from an isolated case. There was a video about Jack Harrison of Leeds who was on Man Utd's books. He told of how when he was walking down a corridor with photos of many of the recent past youth teams and his mum asked him how many of the faces he knew that were still there and he said none. He took his mum's advice and took a sports scholarship in the US. He now has a degree to fall back on if his career for any reason fails. He is also in the position that when his career does end that he will have another string to his bow besides coaching, or punditry.
I used to coach kids and the first thing I would ask was how many wanted to be footballers. Every hand would go up not because of the money but simply so they could play football. I would then point out how many young players the clubs would take on each year and how hard it was going to be for them to succeed. I would tell them what they were going to have to give up and how hard they would have to work to even have a slight chance of making it. then I would explain that they shouldn't give up on their education because even though it would be hard for some of them they would always have that education to fall back on if they didn't make it. Over the years I must have coached hundreds if not thousands but only one ever made it to be a professional. You don't destroy the dream but you do point out the reality because even if they don't make it they will have developed character that will stand them in good stead. But if they don't have that education then all they will become is disillusioned young men with no path for the rest of their lives.
What a nice interview, what a nice guy.
RIP Granny Val, what a lady
It's a pleasure for LEEDS UNITED to have players like Kalvin . I belive we gonna be around for many many years with players like that. We are back to stay.
Follow the best team in the world since 73, and never give up belive this days will come back. Well here we are again,SUPERLEEDS.
MOT
Ian Wright! Wright! Wright!
As a loyal Leeds United supporter, I have no shame at all in saying I have always loved Ian Wright. His enthusiasm and passion for life are always evident in whatever he does. Man's got style and class too!
It's no surprise Wrighty sees what he sees in Kalvin, and it was lovely to see what Wrighty's words meant to Kalvin at the end. Props to Kalvin for sticking at it; there were times when it didn't look like he'd progress further than mid-table Championship level, not that there's any shame in that but, he's developed on and off the pitch into an all-round pro and a top bloke. From Wortley Top to Wembley!
Bless you both and thank you. MOT
Two great personalities.
A big thank you to granny Val for keeping Kalvin at Leeds, he is integral to everything Leeds do.
Missing Wrighty, Shearer & Lineker on MOTD, they are my favourite combination
Rarely see Kalvin without a smile on his face, top professional now and only going to keep getting better. At Leeds for a while hopefully!
Saw Wrighty play for Palace, favourite non Leeds player, absolute legend as a player and if he didnt support Millwall he would be Leeds
Kalvin Wright Phillips!
Leeds loves you Wrighty đđ
Why? He always scored against Leeds.
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 respect is earned for what you do on a pitch. Love is earned based on what you do off it. Heâs one of the few footballers that came out of the game and genuinely still adds value to it.
@@Jake-pt1er I know but he always gave me the right needle when he scored against Leeds.
@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 Who was it who reccommended Eddie Nketia to come on loan to us? Doh
@@ellandroadfaithful Yeah alright fair enough but Wrighty drove me nuts watching him shoot down Leeds repeatedly during the 90's.
Ian Wright was too good. His icon in fifa is funny
Theres a funny story about that too
Got a soft spot for Leeds đ
Mi vex him never come play for Jamaica đŻđČ but love him still
Ian Wright the legend
The legend is back again
Love you. The legend Wright.
Love Kalvin! Ian Wright is an absolute gentleman, had the pleasure of meeting him more than once, genuine, down to earth an example to anyone â€â€â€
Great lad seems his heads screwed on right n tight wish him well on his journey /Ianâs one of the national treasures no doubt about that keep it up Mr Wright cheers fella đđ
Welcome back to Leeds Ianđ Our kalvins a diamond isn't he just? MOT FOREVER!!!!!đđđ€.
Lovely, honest lad who can play a bit. Gutted Villa never managed to sign him.
Wrighty is such a legend, great interview.
He ought to stop saying bro and grow up abit
@@daveduck4315 says the man trolling like a child
@@wilko3017 oh so I'm trolling now am I bro
@@daveduck4315 whatđ€Łđ€Ł
I just come for Ian's wholesome laughter. Beautiful man!
Always listen to Granny val. Though she's no longer with us. She's guiding our KP on. He's a Leeds lad through and through. Lovely interview. I'd want to hug Kalvin too.
MOTđđđđđđ
Even if I wAsn't an arsenal fan
I'd love wrighty
Wrighty you Legend.
My two favourite people in football. Because they have big hearts and bring joy to football. Spoken from a half cockney/half yorkshireman. đ
- One of our own. đđ
Ian is so cool. Love his style.
His signs AutoG @ his front đȘto Smooth members of the public!! That's how đ he is. đČ Absolute đ man. â„ âœ
everyone knows ian wright is a leeds fan lol! what a nice chilled interview ! really enjoyed that!
Nice to see two legends of the game chatting. Believe me Kalvin is already a legend at Leeds MOT ALAW.
Remember going to Fulham away and a very young Kalvin walked passed the fans on the way round the pitch to the dugout acknowledging us by clapping, he was grinning from ear to ear, you could tell he loved the club and the fans. Very proud Leed fan. Massive respect to Wrighty a true ambassador of our beautiful game. MOT
Ian Wright is just a legend.
Awesome! Wrighty youâre a LEGEND and Kalvin Phillips is an amazing talent! đ
You gotta love the Leeds team. Such passion!
Love it wrighty is a Leeds fan deep down, thanks granny Val we love and miss you #mot
Wrighty you give a lot of love to everybody good on yah man lot of love to you and your family love you man LEGEND
Amazing to meet in public if ya Lucky! â€ïž âœ
Wright is a legend.Kalvin is becoming a legend.
Had some good games on the mushy fields. Great interview wrighty đ
Wortley boys fc đ
I was born at St Mary's in Armley, and lived in Holbeck , Beeston ,and Westwood so I feel a real connection to this Vid and Kalvin. Mot
@Kane lol yeah mate but in the 60s they were real communities and kept immaculate on a shoe string , unfortunately today they are rat runs , I won't go into the reasons why, thats a different forum , Westwood nr Middleton fella .
@@EllisBurton3339 yh middleton is pretty rough too
Lot's of nice comments about Ian Wright - certainly well deserved. But Kalvin Phillips is a Monsieur, and where I live you can't get a better compliment.
What a brilliant interview- chelsea fan but I love watchin Leeds' games and have huge respect for this future English legend đđ»
Great seeing Kalvin Philips in good health â€
Ahh you love to see it. Love that Wrighty has a soft spot for Leeds man, top bloke
Cant believe the amount of people saying kalv isnt good enough for england.. Hes a quality player, range of passing and constantly moving, and then off the ball hes a beast, no1 in the England midfield is a better defensive midfielder than kalvin, rice and Henderson are good but kalvin is definitely stronger in the tackle than any of them
The people saying that shit will be so anti Leeds thats only reason
Yorkshire Pirlo
Wrighty with them contents. Absolute legend..
My grandad brought kalvin to Leeds and says how he is so down to earth and hasnât changed even with how big he has become
From someone who grew up in the area, it cracked me up when he compared Armley to Coronation Street. :D
Yesssss, my day is made, another Wrighty vid đâ€ïž
always looking forward to Wrighty's next vid, top bloke and a true legend!
Big up Wrighty. Gunners legend đ€đŸđ€đŸđŻđ„đ„đ„đ„
Both legends
I do love your work so much, back then on the pitch and now off the pitch. Take care, Ian.
two legends. RIP granny Val.
Ian Wright .... My All time Fave Footballer his Passion for the Game just goes on And On x
Calvin u are my hero, u are best player iv seen in a Leeds shirt
Such a nice, humble lad!
Two great dudes!
Great Interview... MOT
Ian and Kalvin very humble I respect it
Nice one both Wrighty and Kalvin.
Been watching Leeds since 85 so was around when Ian took off. I don't think there's a single club in the entire country where he wouldn't be welcomed, maybe Spurs, but they'd all chat to him happily in private lol.
Love his connection with Leeds, cemented from Eddie's time up here when he was welcomed by everyone in Leeds.
Keep up these sorts of interviews mate, they're cracking, bit longer wouldn't hurt either, but I'm not moaning like. MOT
get in! one of the top english talents right now, surely a leeds legend, if not a cult hero. great idea talking to him wrighty
Great interview. MOT!
He is one of the best midfielder in the world. Before the Euros Championship i didn't know him at all. Fuck, he's strong on the ball...Love from Stockholmđ„°
I like Leeds as we have a big JA contingent up there, but the entire city would still Love Kalvin if he came to London and played for The Arsenal. đŻđČ
You feel the love in the video, Bless you Ian
Ah man, Iâd love to meet Ian Wright
The football that Leeds United has come with in the last 3 seasons has bought a smile to the football world. So many people from around the world love the style of football that LEEDS UNITED have applied. Surely they still can not be known as Dirty Leeds anymore????
Well done wrighty for being put in the hall of fame total legend
Wrighty is such a hugger. Great player Kalvin, Arsenal should put a cheeky bid in...
Arsenal can do one
I †Wrigthy...Legend đ đ
Heâs magic yâknow,
Phillips the Yorkshire Pirlo!
When two legends meet đđŒ
@@laoch5658 villa fan by any chance? Itâs not that deep bro, but yeah heâs certainly in the making of one
Villa fan then.
Top bloke
We could all use a hug from Wrighty.
Quality
wholesome click of the day MOT Kal
Great interview Ian, right down to where itâs at, we used to give you some stick at ER, but you took it like a man, thatâs why you have some much respect from football fan, David Seaman got some as well, all got honest banter, keep up the great work, top man đđ»
I remember singing 'England's Number 2' to Seaman at Highbury cause we had Big Nige in goal, and he turned round and smiled at us!! To be fair they were 3 up at the time
@@marktunnicliffe1725
