He is so genuine so composed , you can't help but love him. Top lad
Such a stoic, honest and deep chap. Hope it all works out for him. Seems like a top man.
Wes Brown MAN UTD LEGEND I drove past his house in Prestbury years ago on my birthday with my gf at the time, i thought id knock on & see if he was there. He only opened up his big electric gates for me and invited me into his drive upto his front door & gave me some signed stuff. Still gives me goosebumps today. What a genuine amazing human you are brother . Big up wes ✌️ great interview lads
There you go! Legendary that mate!
thats a very weird thing to do...
@@Ryan-io2hy 😂
sure you did.
Bit of a mad comment that. #danger
Such a living legend. Calm and level headed.
Roy Keane must have loved Wes. A no frills, tough tackling level headed warrior. Forever a United legend.
The ultimate good lad.
Level headed…, yes sure that’s why is tax dodging got him declared bankrupt. He’s a real genius.
@@SleutherStrodewow, what a sad and pathetic comment to make. Does it make you happy to mock his misfortune or is the fact you’re just jealous because he achieved in 10 years what you couldn’t in 10 lifetimes!
Yeah, nice chap - that what Roy would say
He’s fantastic. Never heard him speak before. Great memory. Very articulate. Please give him a pundit job on Sky. He’s got the stats.
He works for MUTV and other international sports broadcasters
@@mitchconner4057poor lad
He’s on MUTV alll the time .. 😂
He's on mutv a lot. Which is good for him. Still around the club he loves. He helps out with the mu foundation. Works alot with them.
Comes off as a genuine person, great interview
Erm they are normal people just play football for a living.
@@AD82_23 what has do canio got to do with it?
He was a fantastic right back & centre half at times. That boy could tackle. He was confident on the ball going forward & was a great defender, he played with his heart. I saw him play many times home & away with United. I’ve never met him, but he sounds like a very grounded bloke who has no ego. Wish him all the best for his future. He might have lost a few quid but he’s got his dignity & that’s worth far more….
I'll never forget Wesley's performance against Barcelona away... Seems like a great fella and a united unsung hero x
Wes Brown is great, so humble and positive. Of all the players I would not like to see go bankrupt, it’s him. Top guy.
Just watched randomly but got hooked. Very humble and honest man, I wish all the luck in the world. And I hope your finance is not too bad now
Never thought too much of him when he was at united but pleasently suprised, like his honesty and seems like a top fella
What an impressive bloke, didn't know much about Wes so happy I watched. Huge respect for Wes and his career. The ending is classic ..... top man !
What a bloody great guy. Wes should do much more of these. Very personable and likeable. Great interview, Ben 👌🏼
His attitude is amazing. No wonder he made it and survived in that successful era!
A true gentleman and legend of football
Wes was a top Man Utd player, loved him as the right back in 08 season!
Wes I don’t think you will see this but you are brave here. I thought Ben pushed hard on your personal issue and you stayed brave. That stuff doesn’t leave you and reminds you every day how awful you should feel. You’ve learnt to shelf it and that’s brave. Well done buddy I hope you see this and please keep living for the day
I agrree💯. Upvoted in hope he sees this.
Cry me. Fucking river. Dude was caught tax dodging just like Jimmy Carr and when it came on top he couldn’t pay the Inland Revenue. It’s is fault.
Thank you for your service and helping to bring us the glory days Wes ❤
Wow…not a Man U fan but what an honest and articulate person…totally changed my view on Wes……hope all goes well in his future…I’m sure it will. 👍🏽👍🏽
Great player for United, very humble down to earth lad and what a great podcast! YNWA!!
WES is a top guy knew him back in the day from Longsight! Top top guy! Humble. ❤ love bro!
Hugely underrated. Best tackler at the club in his time. Nobody could time a tackle like Wes!
Great guest & good natural flow to the Questions. Exactly how a proper podcast should be!!! Top work 👍🏻
Brilliant interview, Utd through and through, so respectful, I’d love to see Wes more on Tv, such a nice guy, top man.
Woow this Wes is soo articulate and thoughtful.. this is one of the most insightful interviews I’ve listened to with an ex pro.. I wish him the very best
Great chat with Wes, Respect 4 Wes fab player.💯👍
learnt allot from WES, i like how strong minded he is thanks for sharing this video
Really nice guy Wes, took abit of stick at times for some of his performances but a quality player on his day trying to fight for his place in a team of monsters during a golden age, he’d probably walk into the man utd defence these days lol.
Just a genuine good man👏👏👏
Great interview. Found your channel yesterday and have watched 2 podcasts and will continue to watch more and more. Great host.
Wes is quality. Great interview from Ben.
Man united legend wes thanks for the memories seen him a few times round alty great interview glad he's so positive about it all good luck for the future
Nice genuine bloke. Glad I watched it. Thanks
One of my favourite player. Always cool and calm in games
What a humble, likeable, honest guy. A great professional who appreciates his past and loved his journey. What an experience to play with the best players in the world at the time. Thank you for sharing and i hope you are giving some of your time back to the next generation of young footballers in some way.. your experience would be so valuable for the young players of today
What a great guy, definitely a Man United legend, brilliant interview!
Great interview Well spoken genuine bloke ! Does that make sense?
What a down to earth and articulate guy, seems like a top bloke!
True, he'd be a decent pundit, if he hasn't tried already he should go that route
Good interview ask really good questions 👍
Great lad wes, a local lad, who lived all our dreams. Very good patient player. Most clubs would have a wes brown type character the local lad thats always on the fringes of the starting eleven and could be relied upon when called. They dont exist in the prem anymore
Great interview very honest....Wes Brown was and is a Utd legend I wish him all the best
Keep on keeping on Wes , good man 👍
Best wishes Wes . ❤United legend forever =Priceless !!
Lovely fella and excellent interview. Loved it at the end re his socials.
Comes across as a very honest good lad. All the best to him.
Wes “does that make sense “ brown
Just found your channel, very good interview. 👏
Wes Brown one of my all time favorite United Players- Thanks for sharing Wes
Re: which Treble side was better; people forget the group United had to qualify from (Bayern and Barca were in it), the route to the CL final (Inter and Juventus), the route to the FA Cup Final (Liverpool, Chelsea (twice), and Arsenal (twice), as well as winning the League on the final day (against Tottenham).
And they didn't break financial rules to do it.
@@jamesthirtyone thats because there was none in 1999
@@jamesthirtyoneit is because most of the team compromised of home grown players.
@@andrewjohnston2850 Most expensive player was Andy Cole.
There articles out there. Comparing the spending of premier league clubs. Lots of clubs ahead of Man UTD. I think it was Newcastle top. Which was a surprise. But, they used to splash out a lot on big signings and still won nothing 🤣🤣🤣
Top guy, seems very genuine. Didn’t splash the cash, but might as well have. I hope he can climb back up and keep living a good life. Surround yourself with honest people Wes
what a legend, miss him ❤
What a great interview , what a nice Wes is !!! Thanks guys👏👏👏🤗🍺🍺👌
Love Wes. Great player and top guy!
Seems like a genuine guy
Utd legend! Solid player! He deserves a statue for That left footed assist for Ronald’s champs league final goal !!!
Godbless Wes Brown
Top Player and comes across as a decent bloke,good luck for the future Wes.COYG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great lad. big respect Wesley.
Seems really grounded. Love the ending - do you have any socials or anything you want to shout out - "no". Very refreshing to hear. Wishing him the best for the future.
What a genuine and nice guy Wes appears to be
Great interview and Guest, Wes looks the same as his playing days, good lad. Like the way u let guests speak.
Huge respect to Wes a likable personality great footballer still can’t forget the performances he put up during big games especially the ucl final goal assist
Very impressive interview from Wes
Wes was absolute Nails. Seems a crackin lad too. His cross for Ronnies header in ‘08 was perfect%.
My uncle was a former scout for United for the Southwest region of the UK. He told me a story of when handing a report in to Alex Ferguson in his office and how Alex Ferguson was telling my uncle that this kid coming through called Wes Brown will likely be better than Rio. That is high praise. Genuine true story.
That's weird considering Wes Brown was playing in United's 1st team 5 years before Rio signed for them. Why lie? 😂
@padee9469 genuine story. Bare in mind it's a scout talking about promising defenders. I think Fergie was comparing Wes to Rio who would have been at West Ham or Leeds at the time. At that moment in time Rio was considered the best young CB out there. Why would I lie? Always one in the comments - don't know why I'm even explaining myself to you.
@@mrmonkey2214shut up mate
I know what you mean but Rio was actually renowned around England in 97.. everyone wanted him including United who had a bid turned down by West Ham. Don't forget Rio is a year older than Brown which makes a big difference when players are breaking through at 18/19. To be fair even Wes's memory is shot too, as there was no game like he describes happen at Elland Road when he was 19 lol
@@mrmonkey2214 Your story could be a lie
I really like this kinda interviews😊. I meet Wes in Trondheim Norway at 3Lions a football pub in Trondheim, i wanted to say hi and ask for his autograph but i diden’t because he had so much people arround him and i dident want to bother him, i hope he comes back and maybe i can say hi this time 😊. Take care Wes, you are a Man U legend for sure 😊
Sounds like a good lad! Good interview.
He's a good lad...
As a Liverpool fan is good stuff listening to the likes of Wes , Rio and Vidic ect ...SAF built amazing teams !
Great interview
I met him and play with him in Old Trafford what a good guy he is!
This is what you call a podcast
Loving this interview, love the content. Just clicked subscribe
Comes across as a really decent bloke. Enjoyed it👍
Seems a good guy. Great answers. Only thing I dislike is “what is the worst coach, player, signing you have had/seen” questions
2008 united team was scary....everyone was on their game
Yes Wes, that does make sense!
Great guy speaks well very humble
Nice lad it waz hopefully you will be back on top 👌👌
Still a legend true longsight boy
most under rated man u player of all time. fact. ill never forget the 1-0 win over barca, motm performance
Great player great pro team player 👌
Would’ve liked a few more questions about the actual night in Moscow. How often do you get to hear about a magical night like that from someone who made it happen. You’re a fucking legend Wes, we’ll love you forever ❤❤
Proper Manc, hard as nails, great defender. Wish we had someone like him now. Good luck Wes, you'll bounce back.
Great interview. Good on ya Wes!
I met Wes in JFK in 2015. After Rooney refused a picture with me because he apparently '"Had to Go", I was only delighted that Wes obliged and wished me a safe flight. Top man.
Well spoken guy
Not a United fan, quite the opposite in fact, but what a career this bloke had. Every great team needs players like Wes Brown in the squad.
Fantastic player and new what I meant to play for us
Comes across as a nice chap, good luck Wes..
Yes Wes it makes sense
Seems like a really good guy, I think I'd be raging if I lost that amount of money and be looking for someone to blame.
Rivalry aside, this guy is a very grounded individual. I wish him well and hope he gets some of his losses back.
What a guy 🙌
Solid squad player
I wished he spoke more about his financial issues as a lot to learn for others so they don’t make same mistakes.
"Wes Brown the Hardest Man in Town"! Great listen and I hope his future is bright - always part of the YANITED family! 1❤ MUFC
Brilliant player not many ever got the better of him on his day
Legend!!!!!
He was a great player. Sad what happened, but this should be a learning curve for him regarding women and money.
