Hello everybody and welcome to Five Brilliant Things on the show this week.

We've got an ex-Premier League footballer who is now a pundit on the BBC and Sky.

He was and is. Watford's Premiership top goal scorer. It's Troy Deanie and here are his five brilliant things.

Well let's start straight with, have you got a fantasy tune?

Absolutely, yeah. And um...

What's the name?

Troy's Terriers or something like that.

Okay. So it's a real giveaway that it's you.

Yeah, absolutely. I've actually made it that bad that people know it to me. Now here's a question. Go ahead. Did you do fantasy when you were still playing? Absolutely. And were you in the team? No, never ever picked myself. Never? No. You must have felt it like every so often. Yeah, conflict of interest though. That's what I kind of thought.

And now, when I'm working like any of the media outlets, I'm always conscious that I don't want to get really excited about my person within. That's so funny. Yeah, so you're exactly the same as us. Yeah, so I was, so I did Liverpool at the weekend, Liverpool Ipswich, but I captained Isaac.

Right, which was a decent move.

Yes, so Southampton scored and I was like, but I'm live on there.

And they're like, what's up?

I was like, no, nothing.

Nothing, just something in my throat.

And then he scored two.

And I was like, yes.

But that's the truth. That's how, it is that funny thing of that's how we all watch football now like if you're into football obviously you follow your team but suddenly it makes Westam Lester vital because you're like I've got Valt Fice at the back and if he can keep a clinch it you you know what? I was watching Forrest lost 5-0 to... Who saw that coming, eh? The first week I put the two set of halves in for Forrest, because I was like, oh, they've been great for weeks. Yeah, yeah. This is going to be a close game, they'll be fine. Five-nil loss. I was like, yeah, straight out. What is your first brilliant thing? Excuse me, my first brilliant thing is golf. Golf, okay. Footballers have a real affinity with golf. Yes. Doesn't go the other way. You very seldom see a golf player on his Saturday off going, I'm going to play football with the lads. Yeah, that is true. Do you know what I mean? Nick Faldo never played by the side. I'm just, as you say that, it's like really open. I don't know why. I think for our point of view, it's twofold. One, it's, you're in a team sport. So if I don't score at the weekend, it's because several different things did happen. We didn't play well as a team. We didn't defend well, the crosses into the box weren't good, and most of the time I probably fucking miss loads, so it's my own fault. But we try and blame everybody else. With golf, it's you, a club and a golf ball. That's it. There's nobody else to blame. And I always find we strive for perfection. I don't know if you're the same. You're always, you do a show and you think, how do I get the next one better? You never really sit and go, oh, that was good. You're always like, next, next. And with golf, it humbles you're so quick. Because every time you think, I played yesterday and I hit two shots. I was like, oh, I've got this. No, the next four afterwards were like, no, no, no, get back in your box. So, I don't play golf, but then I like the noise of when someone hits it right. Yes. It's that clink, you know, and you just kind of know. As soon as you hear that, you're like, that's all right. That's come right. And then there's also, because I do a lot of work with therapy as well, my therapist was saying for males, obviously being outside is massive, but something to be grass. They don't, if you notice of people, like if we caught the grass, it makes us happy. Is that right? Yeah, my therapist was saying, something with males is like,

I love cutting the grass, but I hate taking the bins out. Yes. Oh, I hear that, yeah. But they're the same job because you're going to have to do it again. Like you don't cut the grass once. It's a constant thing, but apparently with males, we've got a thing with grass. That's really interesting. Yeah, so it's like a real, for me, it's like a release from this crazy world that we're living.

I could have, if my wife's listening, seven hours of playing golf, because that's how long a round. Definitely take seven hours. But I've just been outside, just me and a couple of friends. And are you, is this a sit-on-lawmo or have you got to fly-mo? What are we doing with? Yeah, we've got to sit down. Have you? Yeah. Okay. I'm so worried where you're going to take this. No, no, no, no, no. No, but I'm interested in it. The John Deere sit-down is a good time. Okay. I persisted three years. Are you doing that with music or are you listening to a podcast now?

Yeah. One day a sit down is a good time. Okay. I persisted three years. Are you doing that with music or are you listening to a podcast?

Yeah.
