That black eye letting us know this was filmed weeks ago 😂
What happened
Need the full story buddy. Can't keep us hanging
@@Kushagra.jgot butted by a player whilst coaching for his Sunday league side
@@markn7519 some scouser blindside headbutted him during a football match
Loooool for real
It’s actually mind blowing that he played as well as he did despite hardly training! What a player
It's not that difficult
Training s often a major burden, especially when you consider the mor onic squad players who are there to drag down certain targets
Put the guest name in the thumbnail! Great show...again fellas!
@@jamesburke2094 Go on then, go perform as a top level centre back in the premier league with no training
@@jamesburke2094what are you basing this on?
@@jamesburke2094 You never played sports at a high level lol. Anyone who has knows training is essential to maintaining a high level for 99 out of 100 players.
Hearing the way Rio talks about King makes you appreciate how good he was
Either this was filmed a month ago or Howsons just receiving back handers off everyone 🤣😂
Is Howson the fatty guy?
@@NavyaSagittarius Yes😅
Lmao the fatty! The best shape he has been in but that's hilarious still
How tf is this funny to you? Seriously wondering
@haimainjauo242 because if you take everything serious you'll die miserable. Like I said best shape he would admit to being in, but I just find it humorous that people call him fat still. Like internet just has 0 chill, you can change but never run away from type of thing. It's a bit dark I'll give ya that. Not like I'm dying laughing just got a chuckle out of it. Like irony or something idk. Best introspective look I can give you random internet therapist.
The amount of arguments I’ve had when we talk about Center half’s is nuts , people need to remind themselves how good Ledley was , he was so injured he wouldn’t even train he would just show up on match day and boss games.. absolute legend 💯
Ledley was great and purely world class. Injuries worried him
As an Arsenal fan, this guy was the best. Strong couldnt be pushed off, timing was perfect, great header, fast, good vision. Always calm, decision making. Would have taken him any day twice on a sunday.
Spurs had Sol Campbell and Ledley king how much would these guys cost in today market ??
Rio- “Jamie would be there, backing up the back ups”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 RUDE!
Spurs season ticket holder when ledly was playing and he is hands down the best centre half I’ve ever watched ! Shamed he was riddled in injury’s #Rollsroyce
What about Sol Campbell??
@@Traveltheworld1818. Who? Never heard of him.
what a great guest… gave very considerate and honest answers. imagine playing at an elite level despite not training and the pain he was experiencing. puts a lot of players today to shame
Was pumped up with opiates and testosterone
great guest, he's got so many interesting things to share
One of the best yet
Got loads of time for Ledley, a great player hampered by awful injuries
How calm is this geezer!!
Top top top interview. Always loved King! Crazy that he played through so much!
Brilliant interview. I've never really seen the real Ledley until this.
Incredible how Ledley dealt with the injury. I think I might have felt sorry for myself and got depressed. Especially given how ambitious he was to be the world's best defender only to be robbed of fulfilling that when so young (though he was still world class, amazingly). Very impressive character.
As a Spurs fan I marvelled at how he developed his defensive IQ to masterful levels to compensate. And at his supremely well-balanced two-footed ability. And how the hell was he still so fast? Ridiculous! An all-time great.
Why is Gerrard always the headline? Lowkey it lets you know that he WAS the guy back in the day.
Facts
Exactly
Man united fans have an unhealthy obsession with Liverpool and Steven Gerard smh lol it’s evident by now
Why you hating on Gerrard?
@JoutarouKuujou1 I'm not hating lol I'm a Liverpool fan!
Great interview err podcast.. Looks like it was filmed when they did the Klopp leaving Vibe a month ago, ste's eye is explained then too give it a watch
Seen Ledley on a few pods, cracking player as we all know but what an articulate guest. Not sure if he is coaching , if he isn't he should be.
3:27 why is Rio acting so surprised that he loved R9 so much. He may have been defender but it's R9, everyone loves him 😂
The King of White Hart Lane. It´s mind boggling to think what his status in the game (world wide) would have been if he hadn´t had his knee problems and injuries. He would most likely have been widely recognised as one of the great centre backs of all time. A story of what could have been, I guess. But easily one of the top 3 centra backs of Spurs together with Mike England - bad knee included.
Loved it
My legend COYS Thanks for everything Mr. King.
It’s mad listening to how Ledley played with his knee and still was amazing
A Euro 2004 with Robinson, Ferdinand, Terry, King, Beckham, A. Cole, Scholes, Hargreaves, Gerrard, Owen, Rooney in a 3-5-2 with Campbell, Neville, Carrick, Lampard, Joe Cole, Dyer, Crouch off the bench would have been special.
Joel cuts off a quality conversation with a mid question man 11 mins in
always does it . Chief spoiler
Ledley seems like a real one. Cool dude and great player.
When he was fit, Ledley King was the best centre-back in the league, fairly comfortably. His injury problems are one of football's truly tragic stories.
Modric at 37 had one of the most amazing assists that read ahead of time & defied physics. Modric at his peak could easily dribble past Gerrard with his touch & flair but he would also be so clean off the ball.
oh lookk a spurs player backing modric weird ive been to those games modric dominated so much at anfield ...i smell bs lol
@@simonhearn2028you smell bs because you have the memory of a tool. Modric dominated the game against Liverpool at Anfield during the 10/11 season. Embarrassing that you were there but don’t have the brain capacity to remember.
No one is dominating Gerrard at his peak!!
@@matthewflynn6837except for all the players that dominated him at their peak (pirlo, de Rossi, scholes, Keane, gattuso, Vieira, etc).
You’re saying it like that whole list hadn’t been dominated by Gerrard aswell. And they all have.
Big respect for Ledley for not taking Rio's race-baiting question when talking about Sol Campbell being another 'black centre-back'. Ledley could touch on the same sort of feelings but talked about the area and social class he came from and not skin colour. There would have been black, white and several shades inbetween young men from Ledley's area that struggled, it wasn't a race thing at all.
You another non-black guy insisting that there’s no racism or colour struggle at all? Especially 30 years ago?
Golf clap for a tackle. Ledley made the greatest tackle I’ve seen in my life. King of the lane
That was excellent.
Great guest good guy
Riquelme was serious. He made Makelele sweat😂
Riquelme!!! Glad he is appreciated by so many
@@thrilla72 Juan Roman was the reason why I started supporting Argentina in the 2006 world cup. I was very young, and he and Saviola were two of my favourite players at the time. I enjoy him so much now because I have grown to understand football better.
@@EagleEyes77If he wasn't subbed of Argentina wins thd 2006 WC.
That team had probably the second best squad in that WC.
@@afallenworld1581 Exactly. The coach wanted to defend
I think Ste is up to other things again. But listening to King how he played thru his knees problems still being so good
Not enough people consider many other CBs. If there's one who is criminally under spoken about in any prem GOAT defender chat, it's Paul McGrath who won the player of the season award as a defender....
Not sure how JT got in the conversation of best in his generation.... these two where miles better
I get your opinion but JT is among the best defenders BPL has ever seen
@@Woze899 it's just my opinion as you said, not sure he would have been if he didn't haven't play with the likes of Ricardo Carvalho and Marcel Desailly.
@@tyronetalyor2645 hes got holes in his game i.e pace which is been portrayed against germany in S.Africa world cup but his resume is irrefutably remarkable and is among the best defenders the league has ever seen.hey,am not even a fan of him at all
And Sol Campbell
@@Woze899 I agree, just don't think you can great with holes in your game... but you can be average and play with great players and a great team and win things like the Nevilles.... which I respect greatly I may add
47:45 loving the second conversation going on separately 😅
Yes. I see where you’re going with that “he’s not even in your…” 😂
Imagine a front four of Son, Kane, Bale, and Modric in behind in their prime for Tottenham
Would have been amazing to watch them win nothing
The standard of strikers these guys played against was ridiculous. If Rio, Ledley played in todays game Golden Boot winners would have 14 goals
I remember him at Euro 04 I think it was and how unbelievably good he was. Pity injuries ruined him.
Is that why Real Madrid got pumped 2-1 at home and 4-0 at anfield woth Gerrard dominating both games…..
Ledley King is an idiot. Gerrard so far above Modric in his prime its not even funny.
Modric wasn’t at Madrid at that time you absolute dildo
Real Madrid since acquiring Modric have never lost to Liverpool in the Champions League. The games you are referring to are from 2009 which is before Modric arrived.
@@salmantaghdi8605 ok , when he modric was at spurs…Liverpool always gave spurs a pasting. Always controlling the games with gerrard dominating the midfield.
@@leonleon2276 Fair point
when is this from ? :D
Ledley is a gent!
All my comments always big up Ledley king same breath as Paul McGrath football brain👌🏼💯💥
Wow rio said it at the end ledly and McGrath been commenting to there genius on pure podcasts Rio knows ⚽💯
Y'all been sitting this interview! Ste has black eye!
Senrab vs westward games from the old school days !
I love Rio man. The way he can just make you buss up and make serious guys like Ledley crease as well. I beg you stop using the term "bad" in a good way though my guy I know hella man are getting confused or misinterpreting that one
Rio is mad funny 😂😂 🤣 very interesting guy
Do you reckon Joel's done some research?
Would have been the best in the world, no doubt. His reading of the game was second to none, his positional play, in along with his pace and strength made him truly world class. Sol was just big and strong, small players would bend him up all the time, Ledders really was king of the land and would have in the world bar that knee.
It’s the rare players that are both stronger and quicker than you that really give trouble. Usually if he’s smaller and quicker you can use your physical, if he’s bigger and stronger you can use your quickness. But some players have both 😅
'Id play 3 or 4 games and get called up for 🏴' This guy was on a dofferent level 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love how much Ledley dismisses Joe L, ste knows not be cocky and wait for the right moment, Joel constantly trying to bring arsenal into it and Rio trying to make it a race conversation. Well done ledley, top player and top bloke.
😂 rios new napper and Ste’s black eye. The good ol days
Most underrated EPL CB Ever
Nah the black eye snitched on my broski Ste man😂😂
Who's beating up Ste. Everytime I see him he has a black eye. 😂
Part 2 ???
80% of the interview is about his injury which sums up his career. Injury free he would have been one of the best CB in the pl.
He was one of the best with the injury. Without it he'd probably have been starting for prime Barca
@@Nick_TV_Producer I wouldn’t go that far but yeah he was good. Probably would have moved to Arsenal like Sol
So, they're all sat down as above, ready to start.....
Joel: Stephen, before we begin, who do you think was better, Ledley or Rio?
I won't reveal his answer but suffice to say.....which eye ended up black?
I lived in Zagreb when Modric played for Dinamo, I first saw him aged 16 and he ran the show even at that age and Dinamo had some quality players then, he was the reason they sold the golden boy of Croatian football Krancjaer to their rivals Hajduk.
Did ste got punched again I swear he recovered from previous one 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I hope this was filmed a while ago other wise il be thinking Howson wants to be in mma from his fight on the pitch it seems like it.
Ledders was something else 👏🏼
JoeL and Rio twinning
When are we gonna see rvp
Without injuries would of been one of the all time best and would have easily played for man utd or madrid back than
Glad King is finally starting to get his flowers 🤣 it’s about time
You need to get Paul McGrath on here!
I hate modern football
What a player Lesley was
like that Rio CAP class
Spurs best ever EPL player
I agree with King. We saw what Pirlo did to Gerrard and co, Modric would do similar
I'm a Barca fan but Modric is better than Pirlo.
Of them 3 I'll rank it Modric-Pirlo-Gerard
@@Kushagra.j
I agree, Modric is definitely more complete, and can pretty much do it all. But watching Pirlo play was such an enjoyable thing, an absolute artist on the pitch
@@Kushagra.jThey are both better than Xavi
@jh4892 they are not attacking midfielders gerrard played everywhere was pointless comparing them gerrard played lm rm cam dm rb that completed not cm hole life gerrard beat world class ac Milian team 3v0 down 4 different positions in 1 match
@@andrewwright4195 you're talking about one match lol. Idc if Modric or Pirlo couldn't play RB, they were better midfielders than him. Being the best midfielder is all about control. Gerrard used to get controlled by the best players all the time.
The times when he was really good at Liverpool was because he had Xabi Alonso controlling the game for him,
Ledleys respect for Henry is returned by Henry to King.
Met Police 5 a side!!! Remember that one 😮
You can always tell how far back the videos were made by judging stes black eye
seems a top bloke ledley
Led King the best,, Sven was a clown not using him in all the Euro tournament
ha .. guessing Ste was on video title duty right?
I need a fit check lol. What hat is Rio wearing?
Ledley king absolute baller if he wasn't injured he'd of been a world beater. He was probably better than Rio.
Rio every ten seconds "Rahh" 😂
How bad were Spurs that even with Modric "dominating" one of the greatest ever PL midfielders, they still won nothing.
Joel punched up Steve 😂😂😂
Ledley king was one of the best centre about massively underrated of it wasn’t for injury he could of played for any time in the world
Forgot to release this weeks ago I see hahaha
Rio and the other guy on the end look like 90s boy band lol
He was the King 👑
Anelka 98 was the best striker at the time!
They shoulda dropped this when Ste first got the black eye, now it’s looking like he gets punched up every week 😂
Ledley King fit, would have been the best England ever had.
Does anyone even think that Gerrard is on the same level as Modric or better.
Different positions and players pointless argument one played all around the pitch and carried his team the other was in world class team he didn't do anything for spurs
@@andrewwright4195 Carried his country to a World Cup semi final and final and won the best player of the tournament in the 2018 World Cup. What did Gerrard do that Modric didn't?
@@markn7519 modric had good team beating England isn't hard lost to Argentina didn't turn up in semi final he did nothing against France or Brazil
gerrard kdb are top class attacking midfielders stupid to compare them to modric
@@markn7519 England had a team who hated each other gerrard got 3 world cup finals goals how many did modric have
What a player he was unlucky with injuries
New Video recorded a Month ago???
You know I don’t train innit? 😂😂😂
Luka is levels above any English midfielder in the history

Yeah Lukka was Maradonna dimmy
