00:00 How many times did you play for Tram here?
00:01 I played in the 23, so I never made first team.
00:04 But don't beat yourself up on that.
00:06 There's only a few thousand people make it every single year
00:09 as a football player.
00:10 And you made it and you recovered really well.
00:13 And that's the untold story of the football players
00:15 who have to drop out where their dreams are shattered.
00:17 Yeah.
00:18 So you've picked yourself up and done really well there
00:20 and you've obviously gone and retrained.
00:22 Billy, I mean, you're everything that I would ever want to invest in.
00:28 You've just brought a product in here today
00:31 that I personally can't invest in
00:33 because of my team-mates and my colleagues.
00:35 So, unfortunately, I'm out.
00:39 But I would like you to come and see me.
00:44 There are a lot of football players,
00:47 probably played in the '70s and '80s in particular,
00:50 who sell their collections of memorabilia down the line
00:53 and they sell them through auction houses.
00:55 And I think they would love to sell their memorabilia collection.
00:59 I would much rather sell my football collection one day through you
01:02 than through an auction house.
