00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,240
Good morning.
Just gone six o'clock.
4
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,240
Sunday the 11th of July,
5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,160
a date that will go down in history
as the day that England took on Italy
6
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,400
in the final of the European Championship.
7
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:40,000
Millions of England fans
are waking up this morning
8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,640
with the hope that finally, just finally,
9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,240
the men's team could lift
their first major trophy since 1966.
10
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,400
...with the crowd
calling for time
11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,280
and the final whistle only seconds away,
12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,800
England get the ball upfield,
and Hurst goes through on his own.
13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,440
People are on the pitch!
They think it's all over!
14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,880
- It is now! It's four!
15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,200
From the Queen,
Bobby Moore receives the trophy,
16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,200
the golden symbol
of international supremacy.
17

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,920
After the long wait,
England have finally made it to a final,
20
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,520
and it's at home, here in Wembley.
21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,840
Wembley Stadium is
22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,680
the most iconic football stadium
on the planet.
23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,960
It's the home of football, full stop.
24
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,880
The importance of Wembley
as a stadium, as a historical place,
25
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,760
as a mythical place
where you have to go once.
26
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,320
The eyes of the world were
on Wembley.
27
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:41,280
It was really, really important
that everything was perfect.
28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,920
Finally, in my lifetime,
England are in a major final.
29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,600
It's coming home!
30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,800
There was this joyous momentum
that the whole country was riding off.
31
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,320
♪ England... ♪
32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440

a young team,

an engaged team, a talented team,
34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,840
and the nation was swept by it.
35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,600
Come on, England!
36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120
I believe it's coming home.
Do you know what I mean? We all do.
37
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,600
We're about to create history.
38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,920
Oh my God. We're gonna win it.
We're gonna win the Euros,
39
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:13,880
and it's gonna be at Wembley,
on home soil.
40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,320
It's very much
the quiet and the calm before the storm.
41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,760

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Let's get fucked-up.
Do you know what I'm saying?
46
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:35,840
They're climbing up on lampposts,
climbing up on traffic lights,
47
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,280
and it's escalating.
48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,880
- It was like, crunch, crunch, crunch.
49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,680
Broken glass everywhere.
It was like entering War of the Worlds.
50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,720
People were drinking heavily,
51
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,760
taking a lot of cocaine.
52
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,840
There are thousands
of people here without tickets.
53
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,600
It just creates a bomb
that's ready to go off.
54
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,960
Next thing I hear on the radio,
"Breach, breach, breach."
55
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,560
All that mattered
was getting in that ground.
56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,800
They're attacking us.
57
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,680
We were outnumbered.
I didn't feel it. We were outnumbered.
58
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,520
It's the biggest game
in English football for 55 years,
59
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,120
and we're on the verge of a disaster.
60
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,440
How on earth did that happen?
61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,200
What the fuck?
62
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Watch this.
63
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,080
- Sky Sports.
64
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600
- I'm on fire. Yeah. Here we go.
65
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,440
{\an8}This was an England team
66
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,480
{\an8}that was reflective of the country.
67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200
What... What rivalry, hey?
Arsenal-Tottenham. Know what I mean?
68
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,120
No rivalries.
69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Ah, look at that.
- Boy.
70
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,240
I was excited by that unity.
71
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,440
And it wasn't just about the fact
72
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,400
that there was a sizable number
of Black players in the squad.
73
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Phillips on the ball.
74
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,240
He's past one defender and then another.
75
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,040
And threads it through to Sterling!
76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,440
It was about the fact
that they were young, vibrant,
77
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,640
they were connected
with their communities.
78
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,560
They were a group of people
that younger people
79
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,000
could feel connected with,
male and female.
80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,360
England win their group
and haven't conceded a goal.
81
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,800
- We'd had a wonderful run.
82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,240
We had goals in the team
from Sterling and Saka and Harry Kane.
83
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,280
The confidence was so high
that this would be the year.
84
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:46,800
Shaw has it. He passes to Grealish.
85
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,480
- Harry Kane!
86
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,600
England two, Germany nil!
87
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,080
We'd beaten Germany.
And then you had the semifinal.
88
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,840
And England have a penalty
in extra time
89
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,000
that could see them through to the final.
90
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,840
This was their chance.
91
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,800
The curse has
finally been broken!
92
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,680

Especially it being at Wembley as well.
106

108
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,840
- The tickets were like gold dust.
109
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,360
I was one of the fortunate ones
to be in a position to pay more than £600
110
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,840
to go and watch a football match.
111
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,600
On websites, they were changing hands
for thousands of pounds.
112
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,440
It had gone beyond expensive.
Like, it was ludicrous.
113
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,880
I never had tickets to the final,
114
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,440
{\an8}but there's not a chance
in a million years
115
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,760
{\an8}that I was watching the Euros final,
that's three hours down the road from me,
116
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,960
at home.
117
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,120
Football has always been
a massive part of my life.
118
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,680
It brings joy, happiness.
119
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,760
When England are playing in
the competitions, everything's enhanced.
120
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,360
It's that excitement
that we're all in it together.
121
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Wow. Do you know what I'm saying?
122
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,720
It's difficult to explain.
You feel... You just feel it.
123
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,600
I had no other thoughts in my head
124
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,240
other than, "I'm not missing this game."
125
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,880
This is talkSPORT.
126
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,160
Manager Gareth Southgate
has told talkSPORT
127
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,200
he knows there's
fever-pitch excitement across the country.
128
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,960
When you drive past people
and they're tooting their horns
129
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,720
and their flags
are flying out the back of their cars,
130
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,600
it's hard not to notice
all of that, really.
131
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,160
The crosses
of St. George are flying all around me!
132
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,280

You can't believe that this is happening

- but you are.
Oh, it's saved! Saved!
138
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,520
I waited for my father-in-law
to come and pick me up.
139
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,840
You put the radio on,
and you hear all the build-up,

159
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,280
]
160
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,360
England are
out of the World Cup!
161
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,560
West Germany are through to the final
162
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,360
on penalty kicks.
163
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,760
The first major tournament
I remember was Mexico, 1986.
164
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Moving away from Hoddle
in the heart of the midfield.
165
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,760
It's hooked back over the top,
and Maradona has scored!
166
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,600
And I remember my mum was quite religious.
We're a Catholic family, and she said,
167
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,520
"Go-- go and say a prayer.
You never know. Go and say a prayer."
168
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,360
So I can remember going to the stairs,
kneeling at the bottom of the stairs,
169
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,240
and saying whatever it was,
a "Hail Mary" or an "Our Father."
170
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,280
That is why England are
so furious,
171
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,680
'cause Maradona
has punched it in with his left hand.
172
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,800
And I remember
just being distraught.
173
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,560
A lot of me was thinking, "God,
174
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:58,920
if I could go back to the kid
that was praying on the stairs
175
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,720
and tell him, 'Look, it's all right
because, when you've grown up,
176
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,040
England will be
in a European final at Wembley."
177
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,360
"You'll have a ticket and you'll be there,
and we're gonna win."'
178
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,200
This is talkSPORT.
179
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,200
Gareth Southgate says
he knows the threat Italy poses tonight
180
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,720
at Wembley
as final preparations take place.
181
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,840
The run of form is
phenomenal, really.
182
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,280
I mean, only three draws,
never mind defeats,
183
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,720
out of their last 30 matches.
That's a huge credit to their whole group.
184
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,160
For me, football is love.
Football is emotions.
185
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,720
Brings people together.
186
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:46,200
I come from the south of Italy,
a place called Brindisi,
187
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,960
which is in Puglia.
It's the heel of the boot.
188
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,760
I came to live here in London in 1993.
189
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,160
{\an8}If I think about me and my daughter,
190
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,280
{\an8}and the fact that
she is half-English and half-Italian,
191
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,880
and I'm proud of that.
192
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,480
But I want her to feel Italian,
to have Italian roots,
193
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,440
and, for me,
football was a way to do that.
194
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,360
I was ready to spend
any money for the final,
195
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,480
and I'm feeling very happy
and proud as well
196
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,280
that I'm giving
this present to Maya, my daughter.
197
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,960
One day, looking back, she can say,
198
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,120
"Oh, I was there with my daddy
at Wembley the day of that final."
199
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,760
I was staying at the Hilton,
which is opposite the stadium,
200
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,800
and as I walk around the corner,
I see the arch,
201
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,480
{\an8}and straightaway,
it hits home why I'm here,
202
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,040
{\an8}what I'm about to do.
I'm about to walk into this huge coliseum.
203
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,320
I'm about to deliver this amazing event,
and the excitement is building.
204
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,200
- You feel a little bit giddy.
205
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,680
You're tense in such a way that is great
206
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:56,160
because you know what's on the horizon,
207
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,280
what the grandeur of this day is.
208
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,040
You're not playing on the pitch,
209
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,440
but you're responsible for
the safety side of things, the security.
210
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,320
And it's this magical stadium.
211
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,040
The best stadium in the world.
212
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,800
I told my team, "You know,
213
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,960
you are privileged
that you are on this side of the fence,
214
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,640
delivering this amazing event
that's ahead of you."
215
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,080
"This is more than personal.
This is national."
216
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,520
"We are Wembley Stadium."
217
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,720
"We're ready for this."
218
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,080
My mum, when she drops me off
at the station for football, she goes,
219
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,880
"Stay out of trouble. Have a good day.
Love you." I go, "Will do, Mum."

People on the train probably
absolutely hated us.

But we didn't care.
We were just there for a good time.

what I earn in a month
on a ticket for that game.
229
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,640
And I thought,
"If I can take £2,000 cash down,
230
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,440
and I can have that
in front of somebody's face,

00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,280
it would be difficult
for them to-- to say, 'No.'"
232
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,640
The tickets were going for
like, a few grand, weren't they?
233
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,080
And I was like, I couldn't pay
a few grand to watch an England game.

It was a happy, happy moment
for everybody.
264
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,840
I'd done a multitude of jobs
but never had worked in a football stadium
265
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,840
{\an8}or a football game before,
so this was my first time.
266
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,120
I would have preferred to be a fan.
267
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,600
I wanted a ticket,
but we're talking thousands of pounds.
268
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,040
That's not affordable, obviously,
working as a security guard.
269
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,640
You know, we don't have
that luxury, unfortunately.
270
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,640
A Euro 2020 lanyard.
271
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,680
You won't be able
to get one of them again.
272
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,560
It's something to keep and to treasure,
to say to my kids later on, "I was there."
273
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,840
"I was there when-- when it happened."
Because they might not believe you.
274
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,840
They might say, "You know what?
You're lying, Dad. You're lying."
275
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,200
And I'm not. I'm here.
Here's the proof. I've got something.
276
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,760
If England do win the Euros,
I wanna be there.
277
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,160
I wanna hear the roar.
278
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,840
I wanna run out and see them
pick up the trophy, at least.
279
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,560
See England in the final,
and it's never gonna happen again.
280
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,040
This is it.
How are you feeling? Be honest.
281
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,640
How are your nerves right now?
This is Euro GameDay Live.
282
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,480
England versus Italy
at the magnificent Wembley Stadium.
283
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,480
Is it coming home?
284
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,680
England's gonna fucking win!
It's coming home!
285
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,920
- 2-1, England.
There we go.
286
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,480
- Who do you think'll score the final goal?
- I think Kane and Sterling.
287
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,080
England win 2-1 here today!
288
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,560
Come on, England!
289
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,880
Let's try it. Let's try it.
290
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,480
It's here, the final.
What a momentous day it's going to be.
291
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,640
For five weeks,
292
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,600
I was in the England camp
with the players,
293
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,280
reporting live on the radio,
day in, day out.
294
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,880
Touch!
Out.
295
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,280
{\an8}As a sports broadcaster,
it doesn't get much bigger.
296
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,600
So when the opportunity came around,
it was real pinch-me stuff.
297
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,160

- Why not? We'll all join in.

I think, sometimes,
you have to remind yourself
306
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,240
how young these boys were.
307
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,600
And I know they are men,
but they are kind of still boys.
308
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,400
Like Bukayo Saka's a teenager,
and he had to wake up in the morning,
309
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,080
put on an England kit, and have
the entire nation on his shoulders.
310
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,520
So, are we saying that...
He scores more goals than me in training.
311
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,600
We did a right foot finishing drill
and he's finished on how many goals?
312
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,280
- How many did you get this season? Yeah.
- Yeah, I'm with you.
313
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,200
But you definitely felt that
314
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,040
you were in the presence
of some really special people.
315
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,480
I remember being
a bit in awe of Marcus Rashford.
316
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,840
He definitely sort of carried
that extra air about him.
317
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,800
1.3 million children
in England will be able to claim vouchers
318
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,320
for free school meals
during the summer holidays

00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,680
following a campaign
led by the footballer Marcus Rashford.
320
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,080
Their ability to stand up
for what they believe in
321
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,400
says so much about this team.
322
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,320
They had a mission,
and that was to win the Euros.
323
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,560
But I think the mission
went so far beyond that.
324
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,600

feel really proud.

the idea of coming down here to Wembley
330
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,720

this atmosphere, this occasion,
331
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,360
I get why you'd wanna be at Wembley
for this kind of atmosphere.

333
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,960
I was the first one there
from Brent Council's team,

00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,720
{\an8}we're responsible for and get a sense
of how things were, what needed doing.
336
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,040
Wembley!
337
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,120
People very clearly
338
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:56,640
coming off the trains
and the Tube laden with booze.
339
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,640
Come on, England!
340
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,000
The off-licenses in the local area
were having a bit of a field day.
341
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,040
The queue to get in Tesco's.

And this was the opportunity
to be part of something amazing.
362
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200
COVID had had people cooped up,
363
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,720

368
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,120
{\an8}I was in or on my bed... daily.
369
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,160
And it completely
sucked the life out of me.
370
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,560
I spent a lot of time... depressed.
371
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,720
To be locked in our houses for so long.
372
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,520
We're human beings.
373
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,160
We're meant to be outside.
374
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,120
Of course that's gonna cause depression.
375
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,040
The pressure had built up on people,
376
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,440
where they were ready to...
377
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,400

We're just here to enjoy ourselves.
383
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,640
My mum thought I was in Goring.
384
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,360
I've come over to Wembley
and, I mean, truly worth it.
385
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:33,960
If I get busted--
If, Mum, you see this, I'm sorry.
386
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,760
You're gonna be
outside Wembley Way with all your mates,
387
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,200
drinking for hours in the sunshine
ahead of a historic final,
388
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,000
and everyone just said,
389
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,280
"Thanks very much,
and I'm gonna turn up with bells on."
390
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,080

392
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,000

00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
"Wahey!" Do you know what I mean?
394
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,880
"Let's get fucked up." You know?
395
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,360
Football's coming home.
396
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,520
The mood
in the nation's one where
397
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,240
England have done
ever so well to get here.
398
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,720
It all leads to Gareth Southgate, for me.
399
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,520
When you get in
an England squad, they're quality players.
400
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,440
It's about getting the best out of them.
401
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,480
It's a massive decision tonight,
what he'll do.
402
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,040
If he goes three at the back or stays
with four, but we've got to trust him now.
403
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,160
For the first couple of hours
of the day, my mind was just distracted.
404
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,800
{\an8}Just, "Wow. You'll watch England play
at a major tournament final."
405
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,800
"Are we gonna win this
or let it slip again?"
406
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,040
My earliest memory is watching
Michael Owen score for England
407
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,560
and just hearing my dad next to me,
408
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,920
"Play the ball. Play the ball.
What are you doing? Play the ball."
409
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,280
Michael Owen.
He's running at the Argentina defense.
410
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,120
- And it's Michael Owen!
411
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,440
My dad was going crazy.
My sister was going crazy.
412
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,800
My mum was shouting at us from
the kitchen, saying, "Get off the sofa."
413
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,480
After that, front of the house,
England flag, every tournament.
414
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,320
Some people, some non-white people
might have driven up our driveway
415
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,520
and thought, "Shit, National Front,"
but it was a family of Asians.
416
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,560
As I've grown older,
I've become more attuned to the fact
417
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,320
that I'm not English,
in some people's opinion.
418
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,040
To a lot of people, that means white.
419
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,560
And therefore, if I'm "not English,"
why am I supporting England?
420
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,640
You know, I was born in the Midlands.
Why the fuck wouldn't I support England?
421
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,080
But when it came to that team,
all of these backgrounds,
422
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,600
and just the togetherness of that squad,
423
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,480
it just felt that it united England.
424
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,240
I'm just excited that I'm going to Wembley
425
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,600
to be part of it.
426
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,080
We was on the bollards at Wembley Way,
singing, chanting, and stuff.
427
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,480
Then I see the bus,
and my first thought was,
428
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,400
-"This is my time to shine."
429
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,200
And they was like,
"Yeah," all cheering me. "Get up there!"
430
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,840
People was chucking me drinks,
and I was catching 'em.
431
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,680
Everyone cheered when I was drinkin' 'em,
432
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,520
and if I didn't catch it,
it'd be like, "Oh!"
433
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,920
There was so many people filming me,
and I just felt like the man.
434
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,720
I was like, "What a feeling this is."

441

And then I thought,
"You know what? I'll get down now."
442
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,440
"I've had my fun. I'll let them

Game on.
TalkSPORT!
475
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,520
Carnage basically, isn't it?
476
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,640
The cans thrown about,
footballs flying about. I mean...
477
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,120
This has been ongoing
for ages, hasn't it?
478
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:19,080
I have never seen anything
like this, Darren,
479
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,880
but then,
we've never seen England in a final.
480
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,200
That's it. You're here for
cup finals, playoff, Championship finals,
481
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,880
- whatever kind of final...
482
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,360
The story was becoming
this real scene of carnage and chaos.
483
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,440
Bottles and cans are, sort of,
crashing down all around.
484
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,960
Full bottles of beer,
empty bottles of beer, you know,
485
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,120
with people clearly unaware of,
and uncaring,
486
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:46,800
about where these bottles might land
and what damage they might cause.
487
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,920
We were having to create
a very impromptu medical station
488
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,160
outside the Brent Civic Centre.
489
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:01,000
I've got very vivid memories
of seeing glass injuries.
490
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,400
There's blood and bandages
491
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,080
and people frantically trying
to give people the care that they needed,
492
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,440
and it did resemble a bit of a war zone.
493
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,800
I'm in the control room,
494
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,120
and we could see fans clearly intoxicated,
495
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:22,200
putting their own lives in danger.
496
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,840
At that time, there
was limited police presence, essentially.
497
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,840
{\an8}We needed some support and intervention
to try and control the crowd.
498
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,600
This is a match
that we always hoped
499
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,800
England as a country would be involved in,
500
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,600
{\an8}and it is being totally overshadowed
501
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,080
{\an8}by far more serious circumstances.
502
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,360
I'm standing there, thinking,
"Where are the police?"
503
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,960
There was a police presence there,
but that was the local police.
504
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,200
The main deployment
was scheduled to arrive at three o'clock.
505
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,720
That was the plan.
506
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,720
The sense was that the pressures
on the day of the final,
507
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,840
as far as the police were concerned,
was likely to be in Central London.
508
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,360
That's what they had seen
through the course of the tournament.
509
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,240
So their focus and their preparation,
and their deployment
510
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,680
did have a Central London lens to it.
511
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,640
But the reality on the day of the final
512
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,200
was that those pressures
started to emerge within the Wembley area.
513
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,240
The big fear was that the ticketless fans
514
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,640
who were causing problems
were now on the doorstep of the stadium,
515
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,560
and you've got more people turning up,
so we needed police support much sooner.
516
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,480
We arrived at Wembley,
and we're leaving the train,
517
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,360
and the station is completely packed,
you know. Packed, packed, packed.
518
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,160
♪ One, two, three, four ♪
519
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,640
♪ Harry Maguire... ♪
520
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,520
We didn't see
any other Italians.
521
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,840
It felt like we were completely
outnumbered and surrounded.
522
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,800
♪ You can stick your twirly pasta
Up your arse ♪
523
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,800
♪ You can stick your twirly pasta
Stick your twirly pasta ♪
524
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,960
♪ Stick your twirly pasta up your arse... ♪
525
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,960
That moment is when I felt,
the first time, in danger.
526
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,040
When I came out
of Wembley Park myself,
527
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,280
{\an8}the scene was a scene of devastation.
528
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,200
There's broken traffic lights,
lampposts, trees.
529
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,480
It was just like a bomb had gone off,
530
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,640
and there was just debris everywhere.
531
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,560
I've been to Wembley numerous times,
and it was just like...
532
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,040
{\an8}It was like entering War of the Worlds.
That's the only way I can describe it.
533
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,120
{\an8}I came out at the steps,
and I was like, "Is this Wembley?"
534
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,120
"This isn't what it looks like
on normal match days."
535
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,320
"What's going on? Because all these people
can't have tickets."
536
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,760
And a load of fans
are about to come to the game,
537
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,120
and how are they gonna make it through
this huge mass of people?
538
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,360
The message
got through to the police
539
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,400
that we needed their support sooner,
540
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,520
and they were able to bring teams
on the ground before three o'clock.
541
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,120
The difficulty that we had, of course,
was that a lot of those problems
542
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,800
and bad behaviors
had already become established
543
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,080
and taken hold.
544
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,240
This was a very dense crowd
in a very compact area
545
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,240
that was completely off its face.
546
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,880
Everyone was anxious
for the stadium to open up
547
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,800
and for that pressure to be released
548
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200
with people going through
and into the stadium.
549
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,720
The tournament itself
required an outer perimeter.
550
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,120
There were checks
that had to be administered,
551
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,560
so people couldn't just walk up the steps
552
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,760
and present their ticket
at the turnstiles.
553
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,000
At 4:30, the outer security perimeter
had opened up
554
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,240
and allowed people
to start to come through.
555
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,000
We got to the first check
at the bottom of the Olympic Steps.
556
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,320
The person in front of me, he got through.
557
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,480
I remember once he got through,
he had this expression on his face,
558
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,200
and he was, like, celebrating.
559
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,080
Then I heard him talking to his friends.
560
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,080
He was like,
"I can't believe I got through."
561
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,920
And he was showing us that, actually,
he had gotten through with a fake ticket.
562
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,720
The sheer quantity of fans without tickets
563
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,560
meant the number
of stewards and security guards
564
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,080
didn't really have a chance.
565
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,040
I was just thinking,
"I am not missing this for the world."
566
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,120
And I just thought, "Right, okay,
567
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,360
I'll go up the left-hand side
of Wembley Way
568
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,240
and just ask everybody,
569
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,480
"Is anyone selling tickets?
Is anyone selling tickets?"
570
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,880
And literally, my...
571
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,320
my statements were falling on deaf ears.
572
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,200
I've come all the way here.
573
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,520
I'm prepared to spend
two, two and a half grand on a ticket
574
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,000
to get into the ground.
575
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,680
And in actual fact, I could end up
576
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,160
not even having
anywhere to watch it at all.
577
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,160
Out of nowhere,
578
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,920
I start to see bottles and cans
being thrown over us.
579
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,480
The first one that arrived, it was like,
"Okay, maybe it's just a one-off."
580
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,880
Then, yeah,
we started noticing a few more.
581
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,480
It is just me and Maya
surrounded by English fans.
582
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,360
It felt like we were under attack.
They're giving us the finger.
583
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,640
Then, they were quite
aggressive and abusive,
584
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,160
and my only thought
was to protect my daughter.
585
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,400
Then we saw a group of Italians.
586
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,560
And straightaway,
they started shouting at us,
587
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,480
"What are you doing? Come, come with us!
Don't be on your own! Come with us!"
588
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,040
They saw my daughter,
and they all surrounded her.
589
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,640
And I put the rucksack, like,
in front of her face and over her head.
590
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,080
Then we started
walking together.
591
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,120
And Maya was walking,
head down, like this,
592
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,040
under this protection
that we created for her.
593
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,360
And at that moment, I thought
594
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,640
maybe I was a bit naive
or stupid as a parent
595
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,280
to bring my daughter to-- to this match.
596
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,000
The police, as soon
as they saw us, they surrounded us.
597
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,520
And then, at this point, we are escorted.
598
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,880
{\an8}I'm with my father-in-law,
who's, like, 70.
599
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,200
{\an8}And he's in-- he's in good health,
but he's still 70 years old.
600
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,360
And-- And it's like,
601
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,240
we got around the corner
to where the steps are,
602
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,280
and it's like, "Wow."
603
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,400
Like, "How on earth are we gonna get
through this sea of people?"
604
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,160
Wembley Way is packed
with thousands of ticketless supporters.
605
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,040
There's clearly not enough security there,
there's not enough stewards there,
606
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,120
there's not enough police there,
607
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,840
and they are about to open the turnstiles.
608
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,880
And those people on Wembley Way
without tickets know
609
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,720
that there are 23,000 empty seats
610
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,200
because of COVID restrictions.
611
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,200
When you put all that together,
it's like the perfect storm.
612
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,320
{\an8}If I was on the ground
and I was a steward,
613
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,360
I would be absolutely terrified.
614
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:49,320
I told my friend I'm working
at Wembley.
615
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,040
{\an8}They were like,
"You'll get beat up, mate."
616
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,320
{\an8}I'm like, "Okay. Yeah, fair enough."
Everyone was telling me the same thing.
617
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,000
"England game. England in the final,
if they lose, you're dead."
618
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,920
I'm like, "Okay. I'm still working it.
It won't stop me from working there."
619
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,040
I'm looking out on Olympic Way.
620
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,000
It became obvious to me, like,
there's so many fans here
621
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,520
that wanna get in that ain't got a ticket.
622
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,520
We were outnumbered.
I didn't feel it. We were outnumbered.
623
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,080
It's the biggest day in English football.
624
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,040
To allow fans
that may never get the chance
625
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,800
to see something like this again,
626
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,480
that wanna be at the event...
627
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,840
...you have to take extra care.
628
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,600
It was really emotional
leaving St George's Park
629
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,680
the last time
before they went off to the final.
630
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:48,520
{\an8}It was just a sea of complete
love and support for these boys.
631
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,640
{\an8}And I think what was nice
was to see it given back
632
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,960
'cause they had given us
all these moments of joy for week on week.
633
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,560
And then it was time for us to show
how much they were appreciated.
634
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,600
It really raised the hairs
on the back of your neck.
635
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,560
Wow.
Did that just happen?
636
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,480
I managed to grab hold of a steward and
just said, "Look, my father-in-law is 70."
637
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,200
"I'm a little bit concerned about him.
We've got tickets."
638
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,200
"Can you let us in, please?"
639
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,600
And fortunately, he waved us through.
640
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,640
And from there,
we went up to the turnstile.
641
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,600
And then,
just before I went to scan my phone,
642
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,240
I thought, "I'll just double-check,
make sure he's behind me,"
643
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:45,520
and I turn around, and he wasn't there.
644
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,120
There was a young lad,
maybe in his twenties, behind me,
645
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,680
with an England shirt on.
646
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,000
I was like, "What are you doing?"
647
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,640
And he's like,
"Oh come on, mate. I'll give you 20 quid."
648
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,760
And it's like, "My father-in-law
is behind you. He needs to follow me in."
649
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,600
I was like, "Move."
650
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,160
And I'm not a violent person.
I've never started a fight.
651
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,720
And in the end, I had to turn around
and basically threaten him.
652
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:09,200
I said, "Mate, fuck off."
653
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,680
In football,
lots of people jib into grounds,
654
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,880
which is getting into the ground
when you haven't got a ticket.
655
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,680
But usually, you don't have
these points to get past
656
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,840
before you get to the ground
and you can jib in.
657
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,200
"Let me scope the area out, basically.
Let me see what's around."
658
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,960
I thought if I planned it out properly
and done it at the right time,
659
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,320
I could get into the ground.

00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,880
♪ Rooney... ♪
662
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,400
I've walked around this corner,
and I just hear loads of people,
663
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,880
"Ah! Rooney! Rooney!"
664
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,600
And I think, "Hey? What's going on here?"
665
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,400
♪ Rooney, Rooney, Rooney, Rooney... ♪
666
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,360
So, after I got a little video in
with Rooney, all gassed,
667
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,960
obviously, he's a United player
and I'm a massive United fan,
668
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,960
I thought, "I wonder
where he's just come from,
669
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,880
if that's a special VIP entrance
or if it's where the players' entrance
670
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,720
or media entrance."
I didn't know, but I just thought,
671
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:10,640
"I wonder what's up there,
where he's just came from."
672
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,200
So I walked down this alleyway,
673
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,760
and it's opened up into a big space.
To the immediate left of me
674
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,080
were some big steps
that were going up towards the ground.
675
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,400
When I got to the top,
there was a crowd of people,
676
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,760
and they were all shouting,
"Are we ready? Are we ready?"
677
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,840
I thought, "I know what they're doing."
678
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:37,000
I'm in the control room.
I'm watching the monitors,
679
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,640
and one of my colleagues suddenly shouts,
680
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,200
"Spanish Steps! Spanish Steps! It's gone."
681
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,600
{\an8}And I've automatically turned
to where he's watching,
682
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,960
{\an8}and I can see this crowd
punching their way through.
683
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,480
There is a flip away
684
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,320
from antisocial, reckless behavior
to violence.
685
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,440
Oh fuck.
686
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,320
Oh my God. Oh my God.
687
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,560
And I've wiggled myself into
the middle of this group.
688
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,080
And as we've got to the front, there's
people getting trampled on, and whatnot
689
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,480
and I'm thinking, "Jeez."
And I've stepped over someone
690
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,200
and fell forward, and I've just done,
like, a roly-poly over their bodies
691
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,920
'cause, that way,
I'm not putting any weight
692
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,520
directly onto somebody
and standing on them.
693
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,320
Do you know what I mean?
I just tried to do it the easiest,
694
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,840
softest way possible.
695
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,960
And I wasn't really aware
of what was going on around me,
696
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,560
violent-wise and whatnot,
697
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,960
because I was
so focused on my own little mission.
698
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,680
That's all it was for me.
It was just complete desperation
699
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,720
to not miss this event.
700
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,200
I can see a steward on the floor,
and they've been knocked down.
701
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,440
And I'm watching,
hoping they'll stand back up
702
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,720
and get back up,
and they won't stay there.
703
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:14,920
And I can see one's already
stayed down for longer than normal.
704
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,400
I can hear my team already calling medics
to get over into that area.
705
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:25,400
It catches you. It catches your breath
when you're watching that, to thinking,
706
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,800
"What the hell is going on?"
707
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:34,040
When I got over the bodies
that were on the floor and I stood up,
708
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,560
I walked off dead casual
709
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,600
because there was people that had got
through that were sprinting off.
710
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,160
And they're just like, "Yes! I'm in!"
and they're sprinting off. Do you know?
711
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,160
Mate, all you're doing there is saying,
"I've snuck in, and I'm sprinting off."
712
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,320
Do you know what I mean?
So, for me, I walked off dead casual.
713
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,240
And I'm thinking, "Oh my God.
I'm in and around the ground now."
714
00:41:55,840 --> 00:42:00,120
They've come through this soft
ticket-check area on the Spanish Steps.
715
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,600
{\an8}These ticketless fans
were now on the outer concourse,
716
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,160
{\an8}and they are circling
and they are looking for weaknesses.
717
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,960
{\an8}So we make the decision
to lock down the turnstiles.
718
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,120
{\an8}- We've never locked down the turnstiles.
719
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,880
{\an8}There's never been a need
to lock down the turnstiles.
720
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,600
But I've just witnessed
something I've never seen before.
721
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,480
We need to lock down
and make sure we're reset
722
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,280
and everybody understands
what the new threat is outside.
723
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,360
I assumed something bad must've happened
for the stadium to go into lockdown,
724
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,680
and it's starting to pile up.
People wanna get in. They've got tickets.
725
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,760
And I'm just there,
and people are shouting towards us.
726
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,840
They're starting to get aggressive now.
Like, "Why are you ignoring us?"
727
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,000
This, that. I'm like, "Listen,
we cannot do nothing about it."
728
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,960
"The stadium's in lockdown. I can't
let you in. I can't open the stadium."
729
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,240
"I ain't got the key
for the door to let you in."
730
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,320
"You're taking the piss!
When I get in there, I'll fuck you up!"
731
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,720
"You think it's funny, you Paki cunt?"
732
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:01,160
And I've been called a lot of words.
I've had racism thrown at me.
733
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,320
It is upsetting.
734
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,200
But in this job role,
you cannot be emotional too much
735
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,160
because if people see a weakness,
they'll take advantage of you.
736
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:24,160
As I was walking round the back
of the south side of the stadium,
737
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,960
the crush was really quite bad.
738
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,760
All the fans were
between the wall to the stadium,
739
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,800
and then there's an outside wall.
740
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,640
And so, because of the lockdown,
there was probably
741
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,000
a thousand or more fans
742
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,080
just queuing, very densely, to get in.
743
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,480
And you just got crushed
744
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,520
in the middle of, predominantly,
lots of large men.
745
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,840
And I'm only five foot,
746
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,600
and it felt really scary.
747
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,120
This could really end up
being quite serious.
748
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:10,000
I just kept thinking,
"Please, don't anyone get hurt."
749
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,920
Now you've got
a massive build-up of people
750
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,920
who are wanting to get in the stadium.
751
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,800
What you're trying to avoid is crushing,
752
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,960
{\an8}where the density of crowds
in tight spaces becomes...
753
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,560
too much, too significant,
754
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,280
and serious injury can take place.
755
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,200
For the safety of the majority,
756
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,080
we make the decision
to reactivate the turnstiles.
757
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,440
{\an8}
758
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,800
I'm so happy
that we finally made it to the gates.
759
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:52,040
{\an8}And the sign goes red,
and it beeps, and it doesn't open.
760
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,920
And I'm like, "What's going on?"
761
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,480
And so one of the stewards
quickly comes and checks my tickets,
762
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,200
and he said, "Well,
you are in the wrong section."
763
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:08,480
"But I'm Italian. How is it possible
I've been given this ticket into
764
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,720
the English fans
and not with the Italian fans?"
765
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:13,240
And he's like,
"Sir, there's nothing I can do."
766
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:16,360
They've already thrown
a lot of cans of beers all over us.
767
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,280
You know, I have a child with me.
It's not really safe.
768
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,360
I begged the stewards,
"Please, please, please."
769
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,280
It was just,
"Uh, sir, your ticket is there. Go there."
770
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,520
And as soon as we go from the queue,
771
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,360
we are the only two Italians
left outside Wembley Stadium.
772
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,480
In that moment, it hit me,
and I'm like, "Oh shit."
773
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,520
I was down
at the Club Wembley entrance,
774
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,080
down the side of the stadium,
775
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,640
supervising the arrival
of some UEFA guests.
776
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:53,040
There was already quite a big queue
forming of people who wanted to come in.
777
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,680
Club Wembley was rammed.
It was like something else this day.
778
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,280
{\an8}I remember speaking to this dad
who was there with, erm... his twin girls,
779
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,400
{\an8}and it's the first game
that they had ever been to.
780
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,720
And also, I appreciated his excitement
'cause we were the same.
781
00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:13,240
We were the same.
He was having a family day out,
782
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:15,640
and I was just there
with just a load of mates.
783
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,560
But from that moment, it was just carnage.
784
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:43,840
I was pretty close
to the fencing.
785
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,600
Maybe 30, 40 people
were sort of swaying the fence
786
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,120
to build momentum, to then push it over.
787
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:53,960
Oh, it's going, it's going,
it's going! Is it? Is it?
788
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,120
Oh fuck!
789
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,640
Oh my God! They've got it.
Oh no!
790
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,600
Oh my God.
791
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:00,640
Shit.
792
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,280
Then, there was an avalanche
of people just coming through.
793
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,600
You could see people in the queue
were worried, they were afraid.
794
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,640
This dad is there with his two daughters,
795
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,920
and he's shielding them
from bottles that have been thrown.
796
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,840
Thousands of these unruly people
who were just going in.
797
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,680
But we had to stay there to be in a queue
798
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,640
whilst all this chaos and carnage
was happening around us.
799
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,920
The horses can't even
do anything at this point.
800
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,560
Go on, charge at 'em.
Fucking charge at 'em. Do it.
801
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:33,520
Yeah.
802
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,640
Fucking just run at 'em.
They'll soon fucking move.
803
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,760
I tried to help out
as best I could.
804
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,320
Myself and some colleagues
were trying to put the fence back up.
805
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,360
And then a fence falls down over here,
and then you pull it back up,
806
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,160
and then it falls down over there.
807
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,600
It did feel like whack-a-mole
for the best part of 45 minutes.
808
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:07,680
Boys!
809
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,680
Everything was dictated
not by security or police.
810
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,640
It was by the ticketless fans.
811
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,160
"How is this gonna be resolved?
When are they gonna stop?"
812
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,400
"When are the police
gonna get control of this?"
813
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,880
"And are we gonna be allowed
to do the thing which we came to do?"
814
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,440
Which was watch our team win the Euros.
815
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,920
We saw a lot of people
going up the Olympic Steps.
816
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,560
{\an8}And then me and a few of my boys,
we walked up the steps,
817
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,480
{\an8}and we were walking around the stadium.
818
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,440
{\an8}And then we saw a lot of people
rush into the ground.
819
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,000
Some people probably went there not even
thinking about breaking into the stadium,
820
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,280
but where they've been amongst
all the atmosphere
821
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,920
and the adrenaline buzz
of seeing people do that,
822
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,320
they've probably gone and done it,
and didn't even realize
823
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,520
they was doing it
from the adrenaline rush.
824
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,560
But I feel like
you can control yourself sometimes.
825
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,360
Maybe it is a bit far, doing that.
826
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,920
At the front of the turnstiles,
outside the ground,
827
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:16,800
there was one or two stewards
on every single entrance.
828
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,440
And then, in the ground,
829
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,600
at the back of the turnstile,
was another one.
830
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,320
So, each one had two or three stewards.
831
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,360
But because there was
so many people trying to sneak in,
832
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,360
every now and then,
the security guards in the ground
833
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,920
would run to help their friends,
834
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:38,880
which left a really small time frame
where one line had no security there.
835
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,360
Grabbed a guy's T-shirt and was like,
"Mate, I'm coming in with you."
836
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,760
I've gone in behind him.
I'm in the ground.
837
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,400
The guy comes back,
838
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,840
grabs the geezer
who I've gone in with first.
839
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,920
I've walked around him,
walked off again, dead casual,
840
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,840
and I'm literally praying,
"Please, please, please."
841
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,000
Every step I'm taking,
I'm thinking, "Please."
842
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,080
- I get further away from him.
843
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,560
All the adrenaline
is just running through your body.
844
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,400
It was just like,
pure excitement, happiness.
845
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,600
And I'm in the ground,
and I'm just thinking, "Oh my God."
846
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,160
"I've done it.
I've got money in my pocket still."
847
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,440
"I haven't spent a penny." Buzzing.
848
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:20,800
What is it we've gotta do
to be better than Italy tonight?
849
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,000
From my point
of view, Saggs, it's this.
850
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,760
I always give teams that I work with
851
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,880
a checklist of what you need to do
to win a tournament.
852
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:28,840
Clean sheets.
853
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,960
- Two to three in a tournament are needed.
854
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,600
Before this tournament,
I said, "Harry Kane has to have
855
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,080
a great tournament
for us to be successful."
856
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,600
And the last one on my checklist,
857
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,120
which might come into practice tonight,
858
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,920
win a penalty shootout.
859
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,640
That is a list
860
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,960
that we hope doesn't go all the way
to a penalty shootout.
861
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,440
But we're hoping a 90-minute win,
obviously, for England.
862
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,080
I'm in the control room, and I hear a word
863
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,480
which is repeated in my head
for months afterwards,
864
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,320
and it's, "Breach, breach, breach."
865
00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:19,520
...you cunt!
866
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,000
I then see on the monitors
a stream of people
867
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,840
punching their way through.
868
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,320

869

anything of that sort in my life.

00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:09,080
This horde of zombies come running in,
falling over, people trampling over them.
871
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,560
It was madness.
872
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,040

873
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:13,080
Move!
874
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:21,120
There's a conflict between those people
that have got in legitimately
875
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,440
and those people
that have got in illegally,
876
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,880
and there's scuffles
and fights and all sorts breaking out.

If I had thrown myself
in front of all them people,

I probably would not
be sitting here today.
884
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,920
So, I ran over to the side,
just got my arm against the door,
885
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,480
trying to push it from the side.
886
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,080
And I'm just there,
pushing, pushing, pushing.
887
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,440
Couldn't get it.
And all of a sudden, miraculously,
888
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,040

And when I say "a swarm,"
898
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,160
{\an8}I mean a swarm of people coming through
899
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,160
{\an8}the entrance that we'd come in
900
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,720
and just running
to the other side of the stadium,
901
00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:55,360
like, through the seats,
coming up to where we were sitting.
902
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,400
And it was just people, people,
people, just nonstop.
903
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,200
It was just, like,
"Well, I hope no one takes my seat."
904
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,000
And lo and behold, people did
when we went to go get a drink.
905
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,640
I was like, "Mate, I've paid 500 quid
for this seat. I wanna sit in this seat."
906
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,320
And he goes, "Really? You got ticket?"
907
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,600
I said, "Yeah, I've got a ticket."
He turned to his mate and he goes,
908
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,680
"Oi, these two paid for their tickets,"
and they started laughing.
909
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,840
And he and his friend described
how they had a minibus
910
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,640
of ten or 12 of them had come down
911
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,040
with the intention of breaking in,
and they all managed to.
912
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,840
We knew we had large numbers
inside the stadium,
913
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,040
and they'd dispersed, and were everywhere.
914
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,640
It's important now
not to get caught up in that,
915
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,040
and you have to accept they've won.
916
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,680
But we can see these large numbers
are still congregated around the stadium,
917
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,120
but especially
at the bottom of Olympic Steps.
918
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:58,040
You're aware of that threat.
We don't need all the turnstiles open,
919
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,680
{\an8}so we start to lock them down.
920
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,840
Nobody else needs to come in
other than late arrivals.
921
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,160
We've got a system for that.
We'll lock down.

pumped for the occasion.

00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,880

They've now decided that this is kickoff.
This is the time they need to get in,
937
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,680
and there is a large surge up the steps
to push toward the stadium.
938
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,080
The police, at that point,
939
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,960
they lift their batons,
and they walk with purpose.
940
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,840
You can see all this police in riot gear,
and they're making a statement.

But the police will hold them?

Are the police gonna be able
to keep them back?

We all know
about the heroes of '66,
944

but this is a different time.
945
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,440
This is Gareth Southgate's team,
946
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,120

of creating their own history.

have not lost a game in three years.

Italy kick off,

and the Euro 2020 final is up and running.
952
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,840
The match was here.
This is what the day was about.
953
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,440

coming across to Luke Shaw.
954
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,360
And in comes Luke Shaw!
955
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,000
Yeah!
956
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,200
Life couldn't be better
in that moment.
957
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,040
I was with a load of my mates.

00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:55,040
All fell on the floor, like, laughing.
It was-- It was wicked.
960
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,280
It was just all too good to be true.
961
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,520
But it was true. I was there,
and it was happening, and it was amazing.
962
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,560
This is the worst possible scenario.
963
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,880
I never dreamt about Italy
conceding a goal so early.
964
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:17,120
But it's only just the beginning.
Anything can happen.

Forza Italia.
966
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,040
Chiesa's on his way.
967
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,040
And he shoots! Oh! Pickford had no chance.
968
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:30,280
Reality hit everybody, and it was like,
"Actually, we haven't won this game."
969
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,000
The atmosphere in the stadium changed,
and it got a lot more tense, nail-biting.
970
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,880
You just felt the Italians
getting more of a grip on things.
971
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,520
I almost remember
feeling relieved the whistle had blown,
972
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,080
{\an8}because it looks
as if Italy were going to score.
973
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,920
On all the monitors
in the control room,
974
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,240
we could see this huge volume of people
975
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,120
against the line of police.
976
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,640
"Why is this happening?"
977
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,480
Every time we'd look,
and every time we'd talk to the police,
978
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,880
it's, "They're still doing the same.
They're not moving."
979
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,360
"Just-- Just leave. Just go."
980
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,720
...big screen now,
the highlights of what we've seen so far.
981
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,680
Halftime, Maya was sitting down
982
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,800
and a little crouched down
like that in her seat.
983
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,960
"Maya, let's go.
Let's try to go down to the Italian fans."
984
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,920
There was this guy.
He looked like he was really important.
985
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:35,200
So I say, "Please, we are Italians.
They are throwing beers on us."
986
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,280
"We are not enjoying the match."
987
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,160
"We'd like to be
with the Italians, please."
988
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,160
And he was like, "Follow me."
989
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:44,040
We are just following him,
990
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,280
and he opens the last door,
and we see the pitch again.
991
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,640
- We were home. We were so happy.
992
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:58,240
♪ Na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na ♪
993
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,840
{\an8}♪ Na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na ♪
994
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:03,920
{\an8}In the second half,
995
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,080
{\an8}it was just a master class
in defending from the Italians.
996
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:16,920
You get that feeling.
"This is not comfortable at all."
997
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:21,240
"I know we're winning,
but we've lost control of this game."
998
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,040
Cross comes in.
Danger for England.
999
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,720
And Bonucci scores!
1000
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,760
- Italy 1, England 1.
1001
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,080
Yes! Yes! Yes!
1002
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,240
Can we win now?
1003
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:49,680
Let's hope, hey?
1004
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:50,680
Yes. Yes.
1005
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,200
Come on, Maya!
1006
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,760
Italia! Italia! Italia!
1007
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,440
Italia! Italia! Italia!
1008
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,440
There aren't many worse feelings
1009
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,040
than the opposition team
scoring at Wembley.
1010
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,240
The noise just kind of surrounds you.
There's no getting away from it.
1011
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,880
We allow Italy to score,
1012
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,280
and the mood is deflated.
Suddenly, we're vulnerable.
1013
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:20,720
The pressure is mounting.
1014
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,080
Because it's so close now, and a slip,
1015
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,800
a mistake, a bad pass could be terminal.
1016
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,280
And it's extra time
in the European Championship final.
1017
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,160
- Emerson on the attack.
Ooh!
1018
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,840
And the ball comes back!
But it's wide.
1019
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,840
In the second half of extra time,
Italy have carried on dominating
1020
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,480
but-- but not scored.
1021
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,320
And pretty much seconds
before the final whistle,
1022
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,360
erm... Southgate makes his final changes.
1023
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,000
He brings on Rashford and Sancho,
1024
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,200
presumably for no other reason
than to take penalties.
1025
01:02:59,960 --> 01:03:02,440
{\an8}It felt like a huge call.
1026
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,680
{\an8}These guys must be
absolutely killing it in training
1027
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,680
with the penalties for him,
because they're both young.
1028
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:12,120
The referee blows
his whistle, and it's time for penalties.
1029
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:14,960
Why are these lot
fighting these lot?
1030
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,680
They won't let us through.
You're not supposed to.
1031
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,880
Yeah, I know.
So, what's the issue?
1032
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,560
I'm watching the people
outside the stadium.
1033
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,720
If England win, they wanna be inside.
1034
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:28,280
- They wanna see England lift that trophy.
1035
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,080
Now, they can't get in
because everything's locked.
1036
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:35,880
However, I've now got the huge dilemma
that I've got the safety of 67,000 people.
1037
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,400
And for the safety of 67,000 people,
1038
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:42,480
I have to open the exit doors
before the end of the game.
1039
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,160
But now I've got this blue line
with 6,000 people out there.
1040
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,040
If they see that doors are opening
1041
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,720
and then they hear the roar going up
because England have won,
1042
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,640
are they coming inside?
1043
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,360
This lot are not England fans.
They are not football fans.
1044
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:57,680
I don't know what they are.
1045
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,600
They're just a bunch of people
that'll punch their way through.
1046
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,960
You're looking at
what could happen if England win.
1047
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:11,040
And the safest outcome is...
is England losing.
1048
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,160
How are the nerves?
1049
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,560
England find themselves
in a penalty shootout once again.
1050
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,640
People say penalties is a lottery.
1051
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,640
It's a load of nonsense.
It's not a lottery.
1052
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,960
It's a very skillful art
1053
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:29,640
in a high-pressure environment
that you couldn't even imagine.
1054
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,720
Taking a penalty,
you've got to have some bollocks on you.
1055
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,280
Anything could happen.
Like, people fold under pressure.
1056
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,520
Especially in front of your country
as well, to win a final.
1057
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,600
From the halfway line
down to the penalty box,
1058
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,200
it's a big old walk.
1059
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:59,000
Please, God. I don't care
who scores, who misses.
1060
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,560
- I don't care who the hero is.
Come on, Harry!
1061
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,040
I'm praying that we win.
1062
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,600
Scored. 1-1.
1063
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,120
Save!
1064
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:23,880
England have the upper hand.
1065
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:35,880
Bonucci next.
1066
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:41,560
So, it's 2-2.
1067
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,920
Up steps...
1068
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:46,000
Marcus Rashford.
1069
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,320
Marcus Rashford for England.
1070
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:53,440
And he's hit the post!
1071
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:01,120
And suddenly, heads are in hands.
1072
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:11,440
England need to score
to get back on level terms.
1073
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,040
It's Jadon Sancho.
1074
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,600
England on the verge
of defeat.
1075
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,680
I need you.
Pickford, I need you to make a big save.
1076
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,640
And he's done it!
1077
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,760
There's this renewed energy.
1078
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,840
You're believing that much more again.
1079
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:51,480
We've been given a lifeline,
so all we need to do is score this goal,
1080
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:54,600
and suddenly, it's game on again.
1081
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,120
Bukayo Saka steps up.
1082
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,280
"Just don't miss. Don't miss. Don't miss."
1083
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,960
"But not-- not don't miss
so that we can win,
1084
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,800
just don't miss for your sake."
1085
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:18,560
Bukayo Saka...
1086
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,160
19 years of age...
1087
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,920
- ...to keep a nation's dream alive.
1088
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:38,000
The winners
of UEFA Euro 2020,
1089
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,440
Italy!
1090
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,920
Gareth Southgate makes
a beeline for Saka.
1091
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:57,800
This is clearly his hour of need.
1092
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:11,960
That wasn't the ending we want.
1093
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,160
At the end of the game,
it started to rain.
1094
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:20,040
And at that point, this group just turned.
1095
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:24,120
And it was like it was-- they were
all connected to the same message.
1096
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,760
They all turned,
and they all just started to walk.
1097
01:08:28,480 --> 01:08:31,760
And it's a horrible feeling
to have a sense of relief.
1098
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,120
Relief's the wrong thing,
but relief is what we had.
1099
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,320
Just felt like the whole world
had sort of come crashing down.
1100
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,320
You know, from all that belief
1101
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,760
and all that buildup
to getting to the final,
1102
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,720
everyone united,
1103
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,560
it all disappears.
1104
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,760
People's moods changed.
It went from, like,
1105
01:08:54,480 --> 01:08:57,080
absolutely buzzing to fuming.
1106
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,040
I'm there as an Asian guy.
1107
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,120
Seeing the three Black players
that missed a penalty,
1108
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,360
to me, it wasn't a question
they'd get abused.
1109
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:07,840
I knew it would happen.
1110
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:15,520
Racist abuse of our talented,
young, Black, English footballers.
1111
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,960
If you're doing well
and it's all positive,
1112
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,080
then you're one of us,
1113
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,200
and the minute you mess up,
then you're not.
1114
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,600
Here we go again.
1115
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:39,120
My mum text me and said,
1116
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,560
"Will you let me know
that you get home safe?"
1117
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,240
The P word was used freely,
1118
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,520
and it's very hard for people
who've never been in that situation
1119
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:49,840
to understand that.
1120
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,920
So that wasn't
looking anybody in the face,
1121
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,920
that was avoiding contact with people.
1122
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,120
Because I don't want
to accidentally bump into someone,
1123
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,920
and he just turns around
and lamps me in the face.
1124
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,560
At the end of the game,
I wanted to get out.
1125
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,760
But you could hear
noises of racist chants.
1126
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,920
You know, as the fans are coming out,
they're making comments.
1127
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,720
"Black this." You know, "N this."
1128
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,240
I put my hood on and just keep walking.
1129
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:13,280
Get home.
1130
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:24,480
Last night, after the game,
this mural of Marcus Rashford defaced.
1131
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:28,840
Football once again at the center
of a wider societal issue.
1132
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:34,440
Marcus Rashford
has changed government policy
1133
01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:38,000
to look after kids
from impoverished backgrounds,
1134
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:43,200
and a mural that has gone up
in support of him gets defaced.
1135
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,840
That's the kind of thing
that makes you start asking questions
1136
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:48,440
about the country you live in.
1137
01:10:48,440 --> 01:10:50,440
That's absolutely atrocious.
1138
01:10:50,440 --> 01:10:52,080
Absolutely atrocious.
1139
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,320
Wow. What he's done
for the community as well.
1140
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,280
We knew that was gonna happen today.
It's just terrible.
1141
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,160
Marcus Rashford tried his hardest
1142
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:03,240
to help England win the trophy
and bring us the joy.
1143
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:07,160
All of a sudden, now he's a villain
and is getting terrorized.
1144
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:08,760
- It's outrageous.
1145
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:14,480
The emotion I'm now feeling is
way beyond anything to do with football.
1146
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:19,800
It's about sheer, unignorable racism.
1147
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:22,280
There's no need for it. Like...
1148
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:27,000
Someone's skin color ain't gonna matter
whether they score a penalty or not.
1149
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,120
It's just like,
"What-- What are you getting from this?
1150
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,120
"Come on, mate,
sort yourself out. Grow up a bit."
1151
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:35,120
I was shocked
1152
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:40,200
that so many people
would be so openly racist.
1153
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:46,400
You know, I work in Brent.
I-- I live in a multiracial community,
1154
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:51,760
and I just didn't think that would happen.
1155
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,760
So it shows that you can live
in a bit of a bubble.
1156
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:59,680
These people live amongst us.
It sounds weird even saying that.
1157
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,040
But they do,
and they erode away our society,
1158
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,640
and they affect human beings
every single day.
1159
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,400
And the question is,
for me, was just, like,
1160
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:12,120
"What will we do about it, at this point?
What will we do about it?"
1161
01:12:13,480 --> 01:12:15,240
I hope the players saw that
1162
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:19,440
there was this huge,
overwhelming support for them.
1163
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:30,880
That graphic that was
being shared everywhere
1164
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,880
that had the crowns on the three players
that missed the penalties
1165
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:36,400
and that they are kings.
1166
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,320
I think you only have
to look at the way
1167
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:51,880
that people rallied behind Rashford,
Sancho and Saka.
1168
01:12:52,480 --> 01:12:54,560
I think they show
a greater sense of community
1169
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,960
and unity and purpose within this country.
1170
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:01,120
The response gave me hope.
Of course it did.
1171
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,680
People came out
to show their love and their support
1172
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,440
and actually show the lads,
1173
01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:09,720
who may have felt
that everyone hated them,
1174
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:11,320
that it was anything but.
1175
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,080
Breaking news tonight.
And in the last ten minutes,
1176
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:18,880
Marcus Rashford has spoken out
1177
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,440
after last night's
penalty defeat to Italy.
1178
01:13:21,440 --> 01:13:25,040
He has posted, "I can take critique
of my performance all day long,
1179
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:29,000
but I will never apologize
for who I am and where I came from."
1180
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,160
"The messages I've received today
have been positively overwhelming,
1181
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,480
and seeing the response
had me on the verge of tears."
1182
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:43,560
{\an8}Whilst that perhaps healed
that wound in that moment,
1183
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:45,800
it didn't...
1184
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,000
it didn't quench my thirst.
1185
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,880
I am way too long in the tooth
1186
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,800
to have believed that winning
the European Championship
1187
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,560
would've been a magic potion
to solve societal ills.
1188
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,640
- It provided us with a moment.
1189
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:07,880
It provided us with a period of time
where we could come together.
1190
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:11,600
But in terms of solving the problems,
it was never going to do that.
1191
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,640
And so, what does it say
about us as a country?
1192
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:16,800
It says that we have work to do
1193
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,120
to address that.
1194
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,600
I never ever want to go through
what I faced on that day again.
1195
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:33,600
I'll be honest. I'm not--
still not fully over it because it hurt.
1196
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:36,840
It really, really hurt.
1197
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,400
We saw things
that we'd never ever seen before.
1198
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,640
The next day, you're thinking,
1199
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:47,240
"How did nobody die?"
1200
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,120
It was very, very fortunate
that there were no fatalities,
1201
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:53,360
in my opinion.
1202
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,880
It was completely unprecedented.
It was disgusting.
1203
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,440
The stadium managed it incredibly well
1204
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:02,280
under, you know,
the most difficult of circumstances.
1205
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,520
Footage caught some fans
breaching the barriers outside the ground,
1206
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,600
rushing up the stairs
towards the national stadium.
1207
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,800
When I woke up the following morning
and I put Sky Sports News on,
1208
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:15,160
and no word of a lie,
1209
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:17,840
the first clip I see
1210
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:21,480
is the clip of the set of fans
that I was with,
1211
01:15:21,480 --> 01:15:24,640
and they're going on like
they're gonna be prosecuting people,
1212
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,320
checking all the CCTV,
1213
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,040
and my heart sank in my belly.
1214
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,080
I'm thinking, "What have I done here?"
1215
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,320
Are you ashamed of what you did?
1216
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,080
I'm not ashamed
of what I've done.
1217
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,560
In 2020,
we was all locked away in our homes,
1218
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:42,880
couldn't go anywhere,
1219
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,240
could only go outside
for a little bit of exercise.
1220
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:48,560
And the whole time when we're doing that,
1221
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,120
the leaders of our country
are out here, partying.
1222
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,760
How can I feel
like I've done something wrong?
1223
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,920
To witness England
winning their first trophy since 1966,
1224
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:04,600
I wasn't missing that... for nobody.
1225
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,520
I still think, you know,
that England and English people
1226
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,280
are very nice, very open-minded,
1227
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,840
very tolerant
to other people and cultures.
1228
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,320
But, for that one day,
1229
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,600
England almost became the enemy,
1230
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:30,120
for the way also we were treated
on the day by the fans.
1231
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,640
{\an8}And I often think they did me a favor.
1232
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:40,440
Maya, when she talks
about something relating to Italy,
1233
01:16:40,440 --> 01:16:42,880
she says, "But, Daddy, we Italians..."
1234
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:44,440
"But us Italians..."
1235
01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:52,040
When I say it's more than football...
for me, it was more than football.
1236
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:57,600
Oh, oh! And that's Maya!
That's a surprise. So, what--
1237
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,400
What have you brought?
Our flag from the day.
1238
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:06,360
Huh?
1239
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:07,560
It's coming Rome.
1240
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,680
When I got sent a video of me on the bus,
1241
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:15,800
I put it on Facebook.
1242
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,240
And I think that's when my dad told me,
in the 1996 Euro final,
1243
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:23,120
he actually got onto the roof
of the local pub in Stanford.
1244
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,080
So, I think climbing and getting
on top of things,
1245
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,360
it's in the blood.
I think I take after him.
1246
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:34,040
I feel pretty good about that day.
1247
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:36,880
I'll be showing my kids
pictures of me on the bus.
1248
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,040
Their kids, probably.
1249
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,240
I wouldn't change anything about that day.
1250
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,120
Apart from, obviously, losing.
1251
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:51,320
Here we go again.
England start their Euro 2024 campaign.
1252
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:55,360
Can they go one better this time
to finally become champions?
1253
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:57,840
At some point, I will definitely go
and see England again
1254
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:00,920
because the team and the manager
1255
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,520
and those lads that played
haven't done anything to me.
1256
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:06,160
The ball comes
to Marcus Rashford.
1257
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:08,400
Rashford for England!
1258
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,480
If England hosted a major tournament
and we got to a final
1259
01:18:13,480 --> 01:18:14,960
and it was at Wembley,
1260
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,120
100%, I'd be looting my savings
to try and get a ticket.
1261
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,240
Because it's England.
In a major tournament.
1262
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,080
I'll always believe England can win.
1263
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:24,720
Saka.
1264
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:27,320
Saka for the hat trick!
1265
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:32,560
Bukayo Saka has the match ball.
1266
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,760
Just 21 years old,
1267
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:40,560
and Bukayo Saka scores
the first hat trick of his career,
1268
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:42,840
and he's scored it for England.
