1:24

with Graham Hunter. Which you can find

1:26

by touching on Spotify or wherever

1:29

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

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

dreamed about left in the copper celtic.
