It’s in his nature to be the way he is.

I came from a really awful background and an extremely turbulent and traumatic childhood. I see myself in Ravel Morrison. Chaos was his normality, his self confidence was there but out of necessity because inside he's hollow and doesn't truly value himself. It takes a lot to become a rounded person from that start. What you can see in Ravel as a grown man now though is that all the bravado and aggression has left him and he's a shy and timid person when out of his comfort zone - like in front of the media as he says here. Good luck and all the best for the future Rav, lad. I'd love to meet him one day to get to listen to his stories. I'm sure he'll have a good life as long as he can stay happy and keep good, stable people around him.

Jamie Vardy is completely different. He applied himself and worked hard at Fleetwood and took his big chance with Leicester with both hands. Ravel has been given the chance by eleven clubs now in eleven years and not proved to a single person that he’s good enough to make it. Ado Den Haag terminated his contract after three months. Ravel is an absolute joke, and interviews like this manipulate people into thinking he’s misunderstood and has had bad luck. He’s stole a living and only has himself to blame. How many other players out there have been given this many chances and still manage to screw it up?

Had to come back and just say what a quality podcast, the rawness of Ravel's emotions was as touching as it comes, Thank goodness for the access to that emotional context

Ravel was supremely talented emotion listening to the lad fair play keep pushing big up Jamaica and Ravel

Surprised he didnt mention his first spell at Birmingham. Was class for us, and the fans loved him. Played regularly and was his springboard for doin bits at QPR and West Ham. Seems a decent lad.

Wow what a podcast. I genuinely wish Ravel the best, had the world at his feet as Rio said, but goes to show how off the field influences can really make or break your chances. Incredible!

That was hard to watch but glad I did. I had high hopes for Ravel when he was at United. I really don’t think he understood how good he was. All the best to him and his future. Hope he can help Jamaica get to the World Cup.

Great that you guys have given Ravel a platform to give his side of the story. Just goes to show you never know what happens behind closed doors. Thanks again for the content guys! 👍🏽

Thank Ravel, we know more about you and your personality than we ever did and it takes courage to do this . Man U fans will always appreciate and thank you for being a shining light for our youth system. Good luck fella! You’re a star!!!!!

I love Ravel...15 yrs he was a baby and had no guidance and after it became a habit for him...Ravel glad you are family today, enjoy fatherhood...well done guys ❤

Brilliant interview with Ravel Morrison he has lots to give, share and be a mentor to future upcoming young players

One of the most fascinating interviews I've ever heard with a footballer. Off the back of this I hope clubs and the leagues look at themselves to see what more they can do to help younger players coming up. To think that Ravel was having genuine issues getting into training (as nobody at home that drives) and a big club like Manchester united can't help with that is disgusting. If a young player has the talent to be part of the youth setup of any big club, these clubs should be doing everything to ensure that those from a low income background don't have these struggles. As a united fan it doesn't sit right with me that on one hand we'll fly to London by private jet, or even fly new signings in by helicopter...but on the other hand they completely failed (and may well be continuing to fail) their young players who have genuine transport issues in terms of getting to training. Even turning up on his bike, I bet he was too tired to train! The leagues also really need to look into clubs/managers pressuring players into changing agents for their own financial gain. Maybe that's a harder one to resolve but it's not right. Rio it would be great to here other stories from footballers that have delt with similar issues to Ravel. Even those that may be less known. Only once more stories like this are told will things change to the benefit of the next generation of kids coming through different clubs.

Great comment. 100% agree. As a 34 year old guy this interview really hit me. It was incredibly sad. Had to stop halfway through to gather my thoughts. I hate to admit it but I assumed he was a trouble maker and I'm known for not being quick to judge. But you don't know what someone is going through. A lesson for us all.

A real talent. There's still time, I wish you well Ravel. Hammers fans will always love you

Always thought he was a bad kid but after watching this ive gained alot of respect and will be paying more attention to his careeer and wishing him the best for the rest of his career!

Unbelievable interview this! Brilliant to hear Ravel’s account. Sad to hear some of it though. Fair play to the boys for just letting him talk too

This teaches us that not everyone around you wants your success try and attach urself to people that will make you better

As a young person you will always think you are missing out if you’re friends are going somewhere that you aren’t, the reality is something completely different but only time tells you this. Ravel comes across as sad, humble, reflective, everything I didn’t expect. The gaffas words did bring me to tears. Best of luck going forward Rav. 👏👏👏👏

Moyes should look the way to take Ravel to London, give him a contract, pro personal help and get the best out of him... Would be LEGENDARY to see em Rav and Linz together again as Hammers. All or Nothing matter. These souls with some past would become one of the biggest stories in english football upon revival.

As a West Ham fan, wow, this was insightful, remarkable. This will stay with me long after. I’m sure he could still do a job in the Premier League. So bad that he kind of got pushed into a corner with moving to Cardiff. He should of remained a West Ham player. Sam really done him dirty based on what was said

Can't get past how much i love this kid. Hope he makes a massive comeback, or just a solid one.

Best podcast so far this. Got to say love how invested Rio is in Ravel and his career. Goes to show what a top bloke he is, keep up the good work boys 👍

This was powerful. This interview may change the perception managers and staff have of Ravel and hopefully as a result Ravel can show what he can do on a consistant basis.

This is amazingly honest and an incredible insight into what to do and what not to do. In life, not just in football. You're still young Ravel. Enjoy football and forget everything else.

This is gut wrenching in parts with regrets - I hope the lad doesn't dwell on past mistakes too much. still got growing up to do and chart a new path and opportunities. Get playing boy, running training look after yourself and your talents will resurface. Look forward not back you can play for 5 years still. I will cheer you especially if you score for the reggae boys

Powerful interview guys. As fans we can scream and shout about players when they performing to our expectations but we can never know what's going on in the backgrounds and minds of those players. Shame he could never make it at United but he definitely didn't deserve the way he's been treated since.

Massive respect for the guy, his humbleness is astonishing

Fair play Rio in giving this lad the opportunity to talk about his career. I think a lot of fans regardless of who we all support really wanted to see this lad make a career out of his talent. I hope time is on his side and that he can do it.

I just wanna wish Ravel well if he's reading this. A lot of us know your struggle bro. Believe in yourself, remember family comes first and find a way to get the most out of the game you love. Surround yourself with the right people and never look back. You got this.

This was class!! Brilliant interview getting to see the real Ravel Morrison then see Rio say it how it is with this Utd defence at the minute...spot on 👌

Loving this channel for how real it is and the insights the channel gives us. Another great insight on this show with Ravel this time. Wishing him all the best, his career ain't done yet!!!

Happens to so many of us in life we don't realise the potential we have until its too late. You can tell he's devestated looking back at what could of been.

You guys did a great job getting Ravel to open up and be honest! Great interview

Amazing to hear Ravel’s side to his story. By all accounts a really nice young man, but not everyone has the character to be a top professional footballer & to fulfil their full potential. Money aside, its hard graft, you need focus, discipline & a whole other bunch of characteristics. Along with the right support. I felt the other lads were very empathetic & understanding without judgement. The human side to professional sport is often ignored or not understood. Excellent broadcast. More please.

That text from Sir Alex made us just go in tears 😢 . Thank you Rio for such a trademark interview

This is bare sad man. Feel for him... He's still only 28, hope to see him play at a fairly competitive level soon

So sad. The only person that didn't quite appreciate just how good Ravel was, was Ravel. I still watch his clips and wonder what could have been. Good luck Ravel. I hope you find a team to settle in, so we can all watch and appreciate your talent again.

It’s crazy to hear how highly people who played/trained with him rated him but he didn’t back himself. He had no idea how good he was and that he could break through in the team. He never had the physiological make up to make it and that needs to be studied. Good luck to him, in life as a whole.

I don't know man, self-doubt is so natural in so many people. He's a young kid at a team in its peak which is competing to be the best in the world. Of course he's going to doubt that the focus is on him. He said himself that none of the first team coaches really told him how good he was directly. All it would have taken is a few words from Mick Phelan or a few of the other coaches. Some affirmation and guidance early on could have drastically altered the course of his career.

It’s all Sams fault that he’s been given a chance at ELEVEN clubs in as many years and all of those clubs have deemed him not good enough to offer a proper contract to? Blaming others for Ravels inability to apply himself and give the commitment to his career that his talent deserves is pathetic. He only has himself to blame - stop giving him the easy way out by sympathising with him.

I can not relate to Ravel on any level but that broke my heart. Fantastic interview and fantastic TRio....Fergie’s message left me in tears.

I’m a grown man but this made me cry. I hope he gets to play in the Gold Cup, World Cup Qualifiers, and hopefully the World Cup for Jamaica.

Awh man, listening to this interview really gives you a different perspective on things. He was just a kid, he didn’t fail us, we failed him. Not just United, but West Ham and England. As a club we did lots for him but listening to it now, it wasn’t enough, he was a kid.
