What a pair of Legends. Totally respect Ian for what he has said about Leeds. All the other pundits laughed but Ian said Leeds will be up there soon enough. Now we are. Kalvin has been our rock. He now wears an England shirt. What a player he has become. MOT

I've watched this so many times, thanks to all kalvins family for gifting us one of the most grounded and superb players I've seen for a long time. I was born in wortley, my mum worked in armley and my eldest son played on mushy for wortley boys. MOT
Ian is a proper geezer and a true gent respect 👍🏴
I really enjoyed this, two top fellas.
Hate Leeds, of course, but I love this boy. What a lovely lad and Leeds deserve to feel proud. I'm proud he's an Englishman. On and off the pitch he's a credit and I can't help wishing him success (and I support United)

Great bloke and a fab player from a Liverpool fan best of luck
Just got a programme signed from Phillips. Thanks mate.
I know footballers get paid crazy money, but especially this euros squad this year always remain so humble it makes me so proud. They all come from normal backgrounds and truly worked their way up
We at Graveleys on Elland Road love Kalvin! He is just lovely!
He is ahead of this time, his eye for a forward pass, protection he gives the defence, he gives Leeds a platform to play on..
@creativeamerican8811

He is a phenomenal player. He doesn’t only protect the defence, he manages to protect , intercept and set up an attack in 2/3 touches sometimes. Just reads the attacking passes and acts on his judgement like he’s a 35 year old Midfield Veteren. Seriously he’s INSANE. I rated him last season but that England performance the other day, I’m still speechless tbh. But seeing this explains a lot, he’s a real lad and he loves football. Simple. Take a bow tho.

You can tell how humbled and grounded he is..ready for anything and will give his absolute best💯 top man kalvin Phillips
What a great down to earth lad.
he smahed it tonight keep it up lad
It's been one hell of a ride for Kalvin recently. Gets his boyhood team up to the Prem, finishes 9th in the league, scores on the last day against West Brom and is just days away from playing at the Euro 2020 final for England. Granny Val would be so proud of you Kalvin
Awww Ian Wright hes lovely to him usnt he God bless them both.
Proper players there. enjoyed this.
Two great & grounded guys.
Feel like a proud da! that Phillips connection is what I was needing
Know those fields so well. Played in goals for my local pub team many times in the late 70's early 80's.
Such a nice down to earth young man. You can tell he is respectful by the way he speaks and conducts himself. RIP to your mum she would have been mega proud mate

Wonderful moving interview.
A great player already and an even greater prospect. The future of England's midfield.
My husband has been a Leeds supporter for years although we are Londoners but I have watched Leeds games and the documentaries on Prime tv etc last couple years and the team manager and players are brilliant examples of what role models should be Bielsa has made a team worthy of every neutral fans respect. The players are not falling out of night clubs drunk or on the front of tabloid papers. Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford for example are brilliant players and really nice people. The reason England are doing so well they have a squad of players not prima Donna's in my opinion 🙂👍
Fantastic player. I'm a Wolves fan but my Uncle and cousin are Leeds fans. Brilliant performance by him for England the other day and seems a top bloke.
What a guy !
Kalvin seems like a really nice lad. Playing brilliantly for England 🏴 in the Euros…keep doing what you do Kalvin and the rewards are sure to follow…from a Stoke City fan 👍🏴
This is quality
I can't express how much I love Ian Wright. What a wonderful man! So grounded and humble - much like Kalvin Philips himself

great piece. I remember watching Ian Wright play against Leeds at Elland Road, he was at the peak of his powers at the time and you could feel the tension in the crowd every time he touched the ball, aspecting him to score. What a legend. Kalvin will become as much of a legend as Ian Wright, if not more so.
