00:00 advice, guidance in the best way I can and the best way our football club can to anyone
00:05 who's struggling with these things.
00:08 Again, I've always felt football and sport in general, but especially football, the greatest
00:19 role it can play is just that, it sounds trivial at times, but it can be a form of escapism
00:26 with that 90, 95 minutes where you can take people who are struggling with whatever they
00:32 are in life just away from it for a little while.
00:37 For that period of time they're united around supporting their football club and maybe within
00:42 that context we can provide some sort of small solace or comfort or even a little bit of
00:47 joy that takes them away from whatever they're going through.
00:51 That's where I don't try and interject myself into these things because there are things
01:00 I do know about my own upbringing and I know about what it feels like to be an immigrant
01:07 and I can talk strongly about those kind of things, but my family's never been involved
01:13 in the war so it's not for me to cast judgement on it.
