00:00 tough is a trip to Brighton bearing in mind they won again last night?
00:02 I think they've gone up to 25 points.
00:04 Yes, it's funny because they've become one of the top sides now for me in this league, right?
00:11 And I remember playing against them in my last ever Premier League game,
00:16 which was about four years ago.
00:18 And the progress I've made since is incredible.
00:21 I think they stayed up on maybe the last game of the season or the game before that.
00:30 And we won the title there.
00:33 So that was my last game there.
00:34 But four years ago, I think we had 90% of the ball or whatever.
00:37 And it was a game that we expected to win.
00:41 And if you look at the progress they've made since,
00:45 they've managed to establish themselves in every way possible as one of the top teams in this division.
00:51 And that's due to many things behind the scenes as well.
00:54 The winner was scored last night by a teenager.
00:56 I just wonder whether that fact and the progress that they've made,
01:00 is that an example maybe that Burnley would want to follow in terms of the way that club's grown?
01:06 I think the model is certainly...
01:07 I mean, they've had...
01:11 Because funnily enough, it was also one of my first league cup games or something in the country.
01:15 So they were playing at the Athletic Stadium at the time before they moved to the arena.
01:21 So to get through the leagues, they've had an idea a long, long time before they got into the Premier League.
01:28 They've had, of course, healthy backing, but healthy ideas as well.
01:34 And if I look at what they've become today,
01:37 it started probably when we played against them on that athletic pitch.
01:42 And that's kind of what successful projects are all about.
01:47 That vision, that dedication and what they are today.
01:51 It doesn't surprise me that they not only recruit players, produce players, coach players as well,
01:59 because they've had very good coaches over the years,
02:02 that have turned them into, operationally, a very successful club.
