1:31
I can't believe it's so many years since
1:34
Martin Compston messaged me from the
1:36
hills of Los Angeles while walking his dog
1:38
to mention how much he loved the big
1:40
interview. Nevertheless, the star of
1:43
BBC's a smash hit line of duty
1:45
and former professional footballer. He
1:47
played for the Dan digital, Martin name
1:51
checks, Prince, Gary Tank Commander,
1:53
Clarence Seedorf and Josie Moligno. Four
1:56
names you probably never heard
1:58
spoken in the same breath before, but
2:00
then this is the big interview.
2:09
Starting point I did. Prince for me
2:11
and said he hit two that Martin Thompson was
2:13
good egg. Gary tank commander
2:16
in the queue. Yeah.
2:18
Did did it's Gary to kick Garyson? Bright,
2:21
leading man, right, right before.
2:23
I'm a get Yeah. Gary to everybody
2:24
else, Greg to us. He's a kind of guy, mate,
2:27
we just need. I think we lead each other
2:29
astray. Hi hello. We he's a great
2:31
friend of mine. I say a very, very talented boy,
2:33
you know, with fresh meat and this will be a word
2:35
known and stuff. But yeah, we sort of coax
2:37
each other on, you
2:38
know, we've ended up in some some heaps together.
2:40
Is there an example? Well, well,
2:42
one of the great again, one of the great things about
2:44
us job was I got to play in the the soccer
2:46
thing called Crawford, which was just
2:48
an unbelievable experience. I I
2:50
believe Kevin could just touched
2:53
on his, you know, and being Kevin had a great
2:55
time, you know, sitting with Marie New and stuff. And
2:58
well, basically, I I played I played
3:00
a charity game and I and I done my legaments
3:02
and I had I had AK0 on it. And I
3:04
kind of thought that was it. It took me out of work for three
3:06
months. So my agents instead said, right, enough sort
3:09
of like, type of concentrate on
3:11
the on on your actual job. And
3:13
then the call came through for circuit.
3:15
And I hadn't even run that Internet yet. And
3:17
I was just thinking, Maybe
3:19
this isn't the right thing, but I says, I'll
3:22
go down and I'll have run. And if I can
3:24
wait on it, I can't mess this opportunity because he told
3:26
me marine you was Miss management, you
3:28
were going to fly with Seedorf, Davids,
3:31
Del Piero, Chevchenko. You know,
3:33
it was an incredible lineup of Vandasar. And
3:36
I thought, I just need to kind of just to be on
3:38
a pitch with these people. And my initial
3:40
was
3:41
unbelievable, so we turned up on the night, and I'd
3:43
I'd run up out with the first year of that day.
3:45
And he said, look, it's weak, but it's we
3:47
can do stuff for you, and it'll be you'll
3:49
be alright. We'll strap you up and all that kind of thing.
3:52
Somebody new comes down from there and I sure can have done
3:54
nothing. And he had the dossier on everyone
3:56
else. And he says, look, I
3:58
know about your knee. He says, you're
4:01
going to start at the weekend. Luke's
4:03
appointment was moved to train Tuesday to Friday and
4:05
played again on Sunday. He was sort of to
4:07
play yourself into his plans I
4:09
said, you're gonna start don't don't trade,
4:12
like, when he did. And about about it means,
4:14
like, you know, be a be a football. Why did you
4:16
be on a trade? And that's really new. Yeah. Yeah.
4:18
See the secrets and all that. Nothing. And
4:20
so it kinda let me kinda
4:22
talk about did it always kinda have me on
4:25
and go like this is where you're gonna be front
4:27
post back post every is so
4:29
organized that was unbelievable. Like, everybody
4:32
knew where they had to be. And I was just mindboard,
4:34
see this. And the first thing he said is, listen, for
4:36
Charlie, gonna enjoy ourselves, but when he hit
4:38
it, when my team's doing blues. When
4:40
So we got the Tuesday, Wednesday, the
4:42
Thursday, like, we have a little kick up, but it says, right,
4:44
tomorrow. She says, I'm gonna let you trade on
4:47
the Friday. So I was buzzing. So I was
4:49
trying to get an early night and then the phone
4:51
goes and it's Greg. He says,
4:53
look, you're going to come out You might come in
4:55
and don't meet me. I'm up with a girl and Adini,
4:57

5:17
And he said, he says, look,
5:19
just move. And I went, no. Foreign goes
5:22
again. It's Polo, and he says, if you'd all come up
5:24
tonight, you'd regret it for the rest of your life. Have
5:26
it. Look, you you take the Passier
5:28
because I said, look, I had really shouldn't have been
5:30
there. So do you mean that? that just
5:33
come there. You'll see what means. So at the back of
5:35
the hotel and job ataxi. All the England
5:37
boys were already out, but I think they ended my England mother-in-law
5:39
was kind of strapped on us. Directly saw, I mean,
5:42
And so I got a car and a degree to where
5:44
we're sitting now, meet Greg and Paolo for a drink.
5:46
And he says, well, just for me, we work around a corner.
5:49
Just run the corner there. I think it's the back of the
5:51
album, John. I'm walking it. That's tiny bit
5:53
of the night stress spreads. I'm
5:56
proceeded to play for the next five hours
5:59
or so solid. No. I was
6:01
unlabeled. Obviously, you know who princess
6:03
and, you know, some of the songs and stuff, but
6:05
I've never anything like it. must've been about
6:07
a hundred people in the place. Yeah. And it's so
6:09
I've got on a bit seven hundred hit in the modern. Hause
6:11
he hit, Hause he give me the show, got in the packs and I'll let,
6:13
no, I hate you're right, Hause he. Back on
6:16
the day we'd turn massive. I would have knew
6:18
how many about having the water basket for
6:20
Sunday, so you certainly had the bed for the rest
6:22
of the day. Did you get one? Oh, that's all about
6:24
that. That's all about the Sunday night, but I didn't watch it yesterday
6:27
because I think I was supposed to start
6:29
late made make or Shane Brokey's rest to make
6:31
was supposed start right back now. And he said, look, I'm gonna
6:33
need to move your right back. So I've got a great
6:35
picture because of that because he said, look, I'm gonna move
6:37
your right back. So Michael's gonna start and then we'll put
6:39
you on. He's gonna change the the vinyls,
6:41
whatever, and then you won. And
6:44
I've got a great picture frame that me all trafficked
6:46
with with Jose telling me, let's say you're the
6:48
punch point where to go. And then he said to
6:50
me, All in bottles was when he said,
6:52
just make sure he says, that boy is a weapon. So just
6:54
make sure he doesn't go on the ball of Jonathan.
6:56
And as he run by, Jose just run on the pitch
6:58
and and nailed them. They
7:01
hold them. But it's even we
7:03
both were all looking up at me. A lot of work.
7:05
And if I say at all for
7:07
me. So I just don't have the rest
7:08
of the night. But I was I mean, I mean, that
7:10
kind of stuff was was unbelievable. And
7:13
and to get at a time, get being on a patch with those
7:15
players and what I'll never forget is
7:17
maybe he's on to say he's underrate,
7:20
doesn't the right because he's one that you don't pick up three
7:22
different teams. Mhmm. But Seedorf
7:24
control the tempo of that entire game.
7:26
I mean, you've got world class players around
7:28
them. All gladgett. But
7:31
he controlled that game when he wanted to update the
7:33
whole game up to
7:34
him. But he wanted to sort of dive. I think he scored
7:36
three
7:36
that night actually. It was unbelievable. He
7:38
remains a really good athlete as well. Yeah.
7:40
He's in is Yeah. Well, we knew the
7:42
the Hammond davies were what what the bodies
7:44
at the showers. Me and Kevin made ourselves
7:46
quite scarce. That
7:49
that's gonna stay up there. Oh, that's on top
7:51
top top. That It's already on the shallow
7:53
stream. A plate blossom through the vast assets
7:55
stuff. It stays with you because that's just if
7:57
I grew up watching, you know. I mean, I always love
8:00
that and always love movies and stuff. But,
8:02
you know, I didn't dream of it when in Oscars. I
8:04
