We’ve had the chance to do that this week. We showed some footage of Sir Bobby to the players, the first day we arrived. A reminder that, of course, even a Liverpool man given Bobby’s performances with England can relate to his importance for English football.
At times those things can come into conflict because club managers of course have got to look after their own roles and responsibilities, and that can put players in difficult positions with all international teams, frankly.
But your international team will always be there as well and if you can win something with your international team, it’s probably bigger than anything else you’re going to experience.
So, there were lots of messages within that for all of the players but, most importantly, an incredible player, an incredible man.
