He was like that in team meetings, you know what I mean? There’s only one season I don’t, and I break my leg.



And the one I didn’t, I still played 25 when I broke my leg at Blackburn.GR: So has the game changed from 25 years ago?JC: I think Houllier started it, almost educating us, that attackers need to be sharpest as defenders could get away with it.Don’t forget, we as full-backs, we weren’t bombing forward all the time and that was Babbel as well. You wouldn’t want to just have the same player playing every single game I don’t think.GR: Is there a point in the season at any time where you come back in after the game and you look at each other saying ‘we’ve got a chance this season’?JC: The title?

I think Sammy Lee knew I’d been out.And I didn’t play well, and I remember, Houllier phoning me up after the Barcelona games. I was al rlright, we kept a clean sheet but I remember giving a couple of balls away early on that put us in a bit of danger and then he phoned me and went: “I don’t think you’re refuelling very well.” He put it on me late on in the season.
