Wes Brown MAN UTD LEGEND I drove past his house in Prestbury years ago on my birthday with my gf at the time, i thought id knock on & see if he was there. He only opened up his big electric gates for me and invited me into his drive upto his front door & gave me some signed stuff. Still gives me goosebumps today. What a genuine amazing human you are brother . Big up wes ✌️ great interview lads

Yeah, nice chap - that what Roy would say

Such a stoic, honest and deep chap. Hope it all works out for him. Seems like a top man.

Such a living legend. Calm and level headed.

He was a fantastic right back & centre half at times. That boy could tackle. He was confident on the ball going forward & was a great defender, he played with his heart. I saw him play many times home & away with United. I’ve never met him, but he sounds like a very grounded bloke who has no ego. Wish him all the best for his future. He might have lost a few quid but he’s got his dignity & that’s worth far more….

I'll never forget Wesley's performance against Barcelona away... Seems like a great fella and a united unsung hero x

Wes Brown is great, so humble and positive. Of all the players I would not like to see go bankrupt, it’s him. Top guy.

Wes I don’t think you will see this but you are brave here. I thought Ben pushed hard on your personal issue and you stayed brave. That stuff doesn’t leave you and reminds you every day how awful you should feel. You’ve learnt to shelf it and that’s brave. Well done buddy I hope you see this and please keep living for the day

What a bloody great guy. Wes should do much more of these. Very personable and likeable. Great interview, Ben 👌🏼

His attitude is amazing. No wonder he made it and survived in that successful era!

Hugely underrated. Best tackler at the club in his time. Nobody could time a tackle like Wes!

Never thought too much of him when he was at united but pleasently suprised, like his honesty and seems like a top fella

What an impressive bloke, didn't know much about Wes so happy I watched. Huge respect for Wes and his career. The ending is classic ..... top man !

A true gentleman and legend of football

Great guest & good natural flow to the Questions. Exactly how a proper podcast should be!!! Top work 👍🏻

Brilliant interview, Utd through and through, so respectful, I’d love to see Wes more on Tv, such a nice guy, top man.

Great chat with Wes, Respect 4 Wes fab player.💯👍

Wes was a top Man Utd player, loved him as the right back in 08 season!

Woow this Wes is soo articulate and thoughtful.. this is one of the most insightful interviews I’ve listened to with an ex pro.. I wish him the very best

learnt allot from WES, i like how strong minded he is thanks for sharing this video

Great player for United, very humble down to earth lad and what a great podcast! YNWA!!

Really nice guy Wes, took abit of stick at times for some of his performances but a quality player on his day trying to fight for his place in a team of monsters during a golden age, he’d probably walk into the man utd defence these days lol.

Wow…not a Man U fan but what an honest and articulate person…totally changed my view on Wes……hope all goes well in his future…I’m sure it will. 👍🏽👍🏽

Thank you for your service and helping to bring us the glory days Wes ❤

WES is a top guy knew him back in the day from Longsight! Top top guy! Humble. ❤ love bro!

Man united legend wes thanks for the memories seen him a few times round alty great interview glad he's so positive about it all good luck for the future

Just a genuine good man👏👏👏

Re: which Treble side was better; people forget the group United had to qualify from (Bayern and Barca were in it), the route to the CL final (Inter and Juventus), the route to the FA Cup Final (Liverpool, Chelsea (twice), and Arsenal (twice), as well as winning the League on the final day (against Tottenham).

Great interview. Found your channel yesterday and have watched 2 podcasts and will continue to watch more and more. Great host.

Wes is quality. Great interview from Ben.

One of my favourite player. Always cool and calm in games

What a humble, likeable, honest guy. A great professional who appreciates his past and loved his journey. What an experience to play with the best players in the world at the time. Thank you for sharing and i hope you are giving some of your time back to the next generation of young footballers in some way.. your experience would be so valuable for the young players of today

Great lad wes, a local lad, who lived all our dreams. Very good patient player. Most clubs would have a wes brown type character the local lad thats always on the fringes of the starting eleven and could be relied upon when called. They dont exist in the prem anymore

Lovely fella and excellent interview. Loved it at the end re his socials.

Keep on keeping on Wes , good man 👍

Love Wes. Great player and top guy!

My uncle was a former scout for United for the Southwest region of the UK. He told me a story of when handing a report in to Alex Ferguson in his office and how Alex Ferguson was telling my uncle that this kid coming through called Wes Brown will likely be better than Rio. That is high praise. Genuine true story.

I know what you mean but Rio was actually renowned around England in 97.. everyone wanted him including United who had a bid turned down by West Ham. Don't forget Rio is a year older than Brown which makes a big difference when players are breaking through at 18/19. To be fair even Wes's memory is shot too, as there was no game like he describes happen at Elland Road when he was 19 lol

Great interview and Guest, Wes looks the same as his playing days, good lad. Like the way u let guests speak.

I really like this kinda interviews😊. I meet Wes in Trondheim Norway at 3Lions a football pub in Trondheim, i wanted to say hi and ask for his autograph but i diden’t because he had so much people arround him and i dident want to bother him, i hope he comes back and maybe i can say hi this time 😊. Take care Wes, you are a Man U legend for sure 😊

Would’ve liked a few more questions about the actual night in Moscow. How often do you get to hear about a magical night like that from someone who made it happen. You’re a fucking legend Wes, we’ll love you forever ❤❤

What a guy 🙌

I met Wes in JFK in 2015. After Rooney refused a picture with me because he apparently '"Had to Go", I was only delighted that Wes obliged and wished me a safe flight. Top man.

Rivalry aside, this guy is a very grounded individual. I wish him well and hope he gets some of his losses back.

Well spoken guy

Solid squad player

Wes top legend true hero legend top player too respect great memories. You where rude when you tried to tell wes about what he should of done with his money instead and this it’s to late he went through it try have sone respect there I think mate. But yeah Wes legend fella great man. Really polite when questioned about that

Im a Liverpool supporter,agree with Wes ,Wayne Rooney was a great footballer,I rate him as one of me top players I ever seen live,and I had a season ticket at Anfield back in them days,so I've seen some great players here in England and over in Europe,Henning Berg and Ronny Johnson both played in me Norwegian fellas club Lilestrom,before joining man united,both won the treble and both x Lilestrom players.

Wes was awesome for SAFC when he did play, just could never get a good run going, be that because of injury or odd disciplinary issues.
