00:00Yeah, it'd be good to catch up with Mass.
00:02Yeah, we really love coaching him.
00:05I remember one of my first scouting trips when I was a soccerer,
00:09his national team boss was to watch Swindon Town play in League One
00:14against someone and he was playing.
00:17Yeah, I wasn't going to the Bernabeu and New Camp to watch the Aussies play, mate.
00:21Tim Sherwood was in the sort of director's box where I was
00:24and they spoke really highly of Mass from his time here at Spurs.
00:27The kind of player he was, the person he was.
00:30We hit a sweet spot, both me and him, in that Asian Cup
00:33where he was player of the tournament, like I said.
00:35He was outstanding.
00:37It's taken us 10 years to get to the Premier League, both of us.
00:39We probably both thought we'd get here a bit quicker than what we did.
00:42But yeah, a great player.
00:45Like I said, shared a real special time with him.
00:48Really loved coaching him and look forward to catching up with him on the weekend.
00:53And Cameron, I didn't have a lot to do with, but I was following.
00:57Again, he was breaking through and Cohen Arles was the national team boss.
01:00So yeah, it's great to have a couple of Aussies in there in the Premier League.
01:05Hopefully more to come.
01:07But yeah, got a lot of time for Mass.
01:09Fantastic player and a fantastic person too.
