Troy comes across so well in interviews. He's just really well spoken, emotionally mature and open and it's really great to see.
I agree
i love the 'old fashioned gentleman' quote. it comes across 100% genuine too.
Troy Deeney is not a public figure or celebrity that I thought I needed to know more about, but I enjoyed the interview and found it quite moving and enlightening. Well done team, well done S.Jordon.
Superb interview, thank you to you both.
Winning comment. Comments.
What a fabulous episode. I have a new-found respect for Troy Deeney after listening to this.
Stumbled on this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Troy is an intelligent, articulate, honest, determined, succinct.... all round top bloke.
Only 7mins in but my respect for Troy Deeney has increased infinitely. Manners and courtesy are the best things someone can learn, teach and utilise in life.
I am one of the very few Gooners who love the outspokeness of Troy
Simon = top LAD proper clobber. The king produces straight fact and truths on a daily basis
Sir MW OG Legendary Jordanite Leader = Top LAD Proper Clobber ✊
Unless hes around a Sheikh lad..
Facts my man!
Confirms my original uneducated opinion Troy is a top man and great to hear his whole story. Full respect
Top comment 😅
Great interview. Got to meet Troy a year or so back. One of the most genuine people out there. Top, top bloke. Wishing him all the best 🤝💙
This was the best episode for sure. Great chat and a nice balance between letting Troy speak and adding your own opinions.
He should have played for Ireland/Jamaica. Would have been a great addition for either
credit that he had loyalty to England and held out in vain for that call up, which he deserved, but I can't help but agree, especially with the Ireland opportunity. Not the greatest side at the moment but UEFA is a far better prospect for playing international footy than CONCACAF.
1 England cap would've been worth 50 of those. He would've done it without the prison stretch plus there's a lot of luck and timing; obviously as good as Nugent, Davies and Ricketts.
Jamaica FA only been funded better in last 10 years, i played under19s n it was like normal kids Saturday league..England offer alot as the pools big but not that great
A real Man, thank you Troy for your inspiration, as a great Englishman….
What a great interview! Deeney seems to have learnt a lot from his life experiences, which in itself makes him a strong role-model. He also comes across as a very likeable bloke, and this is coming from a Villa fan! 😀
Troy Deeney came across so well here. Hope he does well whatever he decides to do.
Love Mr Deeney, as a player and after listening to him on many occasions as a person. he has many qualities which are sadly lacking nowadays, top man.
Absolutely brilliant the two of you . Well done !!
Yet another great interview, I allays had an admiration for Troy as a player but total respect as a man
Best interview so far. Nicely done Simon Jordan
Really good interview chaps ..soo glad I watched it..total respect Troy🙏
Brilliant interview brilliant guest. So respectful from both sides. Thank you
Breath of fresh air great honest interview
Brilliant from both sides. Best one yet. I’ve always liked Troy- both as a player and as a man. Wish you all the best Big Man. As Simon said he’ll be a success at whatever he chooses to do.
Loving these - well done Simon, keep them coming.
This is a good interview I’m typing this 18min into watching it and I’ve already changed my opinions on him. 👍
Love that, it is a key reason why we shouldn't judge people we don't know too heavily
It isn't often people are capable of changing their minds . Is it something you are aware of that happens on a somewhat regular basis ?
Bravo simon and all guest's such refreshing conversations each time. Troy was one of the best episides.
Thank you for this. Mr Deeney is a top bloke and a good leader from the front. I wish you well with your next chapter of your journey sir.
A really honest and down to earth interview
excellent, Simon has got better at these every episode with letting people talk and it's letting the guests open up more. Troy came across really well, wish him and has family every success
Brilliant interview. Enjoyed that.
Kin hell.. What an amazing interview. So open and honest.... Very brave, Troy... Thank you.
Love Troy's honesty. Seems like a genuine bloke. Great interview 👍
best interview yet. Simon’s interviews so far have been great. can’t wait to see who we get in next
Really enjoyed this. Always enjoyed Troy on talkSPORT. Proper lad that doesn’t shy away from a question. Cheers lads 🙌🏼
What an absolute Brilliant interview . Hard questions asked and answered . SJ can you get more of these . I am not a great football lover , however I love the different views of people you interview . Well done . Side note next time you see AM say hello from the Bridge of Weir faithful .
These just keep getting better what a gentleman Troy is and I love Simons interview style, straight up no bullshit 👍👍👍
Great interview, well done troy and Simon.v insightful.
Great interview I've always liked Troy a real person absolutely one of us God Bless u bro 1 love always.
One of the best hosts ever to get into the game. Honest ruthless understanding challenging genuine. Excellent Simon 👌
One of the best yet, really enjoyed that 👍
Great interview. Can’t believe I’ve only just caught it now. Glad I found it though. Deeney is a class act
Great episode; I could listen to Troy all day, comes across so well.
Although I’m probably biased as an ex Purley Boy …. SJ is getting better and better as an interviewer- he’s listening more and is and never was frightened to challenge. I think Troy enjoyed the opportunity to explain and talk us through his life to date.
Brilliant. I'm going to start giving these videos a thumbs up 😎
Great interview fellas🇬🇧👊🏼
Great interview. Deeney is a refreshingly honest lad. Comes across well, hope he stays in Media / football. Positive role model .
A man that wanted everyone jabbed and your a racist if your don’t follow the Marxist blm…wouldn’t follow the lad to the shops let alone into battle
Loved Troy seen him at a Birmingham City womens game a down to earth guy. Gutted it didn’t work out for him at blues. Great interview simon .
Excellent interview! There’s no doubt Troy Deeney’s future is in his own hands. Could watch this a couple of times👍
Very interesting interview and episode.
Excellent insight. Good stuff Simon. Why don't we get interviews like this on mainstream? To hell with the licence fee. Thanks Simon.
A guy like Troy is absolutely invaluable to have at your club, to keep overly-privileged younger players grounded and set that example of work ethic, gratitude and appreciation. Guys like Troy also maintain that relationship with the fans because he'll always be 'one of them', and remembers his roots. That's getting very rare in the modern game with over-paid, sensitive, coddled young men who never have to exist in the real world. People might laugh but I'm a United fan, and I would have taken Troy as a squad member in a heartbeat. He's a dying breed and the kind of guy you're proud to see wear your club's shirt because you know he'd die for it.
I've watched a few of these interviews, and I have to say Troy comes over really well, fair play despite him having been pretty disparaging about my team in the past he deserves a lot of respect. Love the way he calls Simon "sir" a couple of times.
Great interview
Great interview and fantastic series All the interviews are very interesting 😅
What a fantastic talker. I really enjoyed this.
Top interview. Real!
Great Podcast Simon, keep them coming!!
He has my respect, great interview
Down to earth guy for a footballer especially

Superb interview this. Can't believe you didn't speak about "that" goal 🤷🏼♂️
Great stuff, again!!!!!
Amazing Episode
top lad, top interview
Great interview. I loved troy deeney as a player and wish man united had grabbed him when mourinho was there, to kick the likes of pogba and martial up the arse.
Troy keeps it 100 love it
Great Interview, should have gone on longer.
Brilliant from both.
The best one yet.
Love this pod
One of the best!
Great interview and i would also recommend troys biography read it a few months ago
Good interview 🤝
Best video yet Simon
Class that from both of them.
Another top episode! Really good insight as always. Goodluck at FGR Troy!
Troy is so well spoken, self awareness is inspiring. Great interview i really enjoyed this.
What a legend
Troy Deeney comes across as a top man. Great listen
Really enjoyed that interview, would like to see Troy stay in the championship. He could still do a job at one of the lower clubs like Huddersfield, QPR, Rotherham. I’d take him at Millwall for this experience and presence in the changing rooms too.
Troy, great player, even better person.
Top geeza Troy!! Met him at fight camp a few yrs bk!
Excellent show 👌
