Great interview
We all have regrets Jamie. Unfortunately we can’t turn the clock back. You were brave enough to take a pen but how many players did not. Listen it’s the past Jamie. You can only do what is right a the time. Great to see you doing talk sport. Unfortunately you are heart on sleeve nothing wrong in that basically you care and show it
Seriously. It’s a ladies level nothing wrong in that. But my opinion is. The ladies game is fantastic. But you can’t compare say like boxing. We now have a lady riding in speedway against men. Seriously would be amazing if she does well. Lia Thomas ??
He went and played for Man United and was the best player there, so he moved to Man City and was the best player there - Aguero often cites him as the best he ever played with, the player KDB could have been. He moved to Real Madrid and was the best player there, won 8 of his 11 Balon d'Or awards there. He then played for England and was the best player there, keeping Gerrard out of the side. After 130 caps and 148 goals for England he defected to Brazil's national team and was the best player there.
He then changed career and won the Snooker Masters with 9 consecutive 147 breaks in the final, he was the best player there.
He then entered Mr Universe and won that, he was the best competitor there.
Then he became President of the US and was the best ever, he figured out a way to solve all the financial issues of the world and stopped all the wars as we all lived in peace and affluence.
Possibly the cherry on the cake was when O'Hara built a time machine and took Adolf Hitler under his wing, making him a messenger for peace, hence the esteem he's now held in... If he hadn't told us we wouldn't have known. Then he knocked out Tyson Fury, Usyk, AJ and a cloned, prime Mike Tyson in the same afternoon without any training.
He got paid £800bn for his appearance on Big Brother and donated it all to medical research, which allowed cures for every single disease to be discovered.
Amazing that he's so humble about all of this.
Wasted alot of time writing shite
You've defo had a nose bag you bro 😂
Only a nose bag could make a man wrote all that 😂
Hope that was worth wasting an hour for
@@WangPaste💯😂😂😂
@WangPaste won't hear from him fir 4 days until restock 😂
It’s a good job you didn’t go Madrid… we might not of ever seen zidane 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣👏
Looooool😂😂😂😂
Honestly this was one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to from an ex-pro. Tells it how it is, and brutally honest. As football fans, isn’t that exactly what we want to hear? Too much now we receive watered-down generic bullshit from players that doesn’t tell us anything. I could have happily listened to another 2 hours of this podcast.
2005-2011-Tottenham Hotspur 34 appearances
2006-2011 Loaned out to- chesterfield, millwall, Portsmouth and Wolverhampton. Making a total of 69 appearances in five years.
2011-2014 Wolverhampton making 41 appearances for the championship side.
2014-2015- Blackpool 27 appearances for the championship side.
2015-2016 Fulham with 37 appearances for the championship side.
2016-Gillingham a league one side for which he made 2 appearances.
2017-2020 Billericay 47 appearances…
So when was it Real Madrid thought you were ever good enough to make a bid for you. What a load of BS from the man himself. Laughable.
Jaime (I had trials you knOw) Hara
Yep that’s all they were extended trials.
You need to get a life my friend 🙏🏼
O'Hara 😉
when he was a kid you plunker! he was talking about the Real Madrid academy. Only weak beta males hate on others for no reason.
There is no good age but 17 is a tough tough age to lose your mum. Sorry to hear that Jamie. We all make mistakes mates, yours were just in the public eye due to your job.
Appreciate the honesty though this was a good listen.
All 17/18 year olds think they know best lad!
Saying he basically made bale killed me😂😂😂😂
A man who loves the sound of his own voice
Always thought Ohara was an arrogant knob tbh, but this was a good listen. Gives you an insight into what money and fame does to young man’s life. Very honest and open and young players can look at this.
O'Hara has done good. He owned both the good and the bad of his career. The fact a 17 year old who lost his mother at a time he was still developing and still achieved what he did in the game and life yet still became the man he has become speaks volumes.
Loved every single minute of it! Thanks for making this show. Great to hear from Jamie about his career. Honest lad. I just hope he is going to take off with his new found passion. Best wishes from a Spurs fan.
I love how they were muting expletives and then gave up 😂
I've been Jamie O'Hara, you've been the best
i watch talksport with jamie on it- this is a very honest interview and hearing his story and being open about things i have alot of respect for that
What a great normal guy, it's so refreshing to listen to someone so honest. I loved the part about gerrard
This is a brilliant Chanel.
You do a fantastic job in interviewing but letting them speak, and not making it all about yourself.
I’m gobsmacked you have only 12.7 subscribers, this channel deserves (and will be) a 100,000 plus.
Keep up the great content, Ben!
100% agree with there is very few real leaders in the current gen of players. Before the 2010's, big, elite clubs very rarely got trashed. The last 10 years I feel so many big teams get trashed. Brazil losing 7-1 to Germany. Barcelona beating PSG 7-2. Bayern winning Barca 8-2. The countless times Arsenal have got hammered, but still finished in the top 4. PSV beating Feyenoord 10-0. It's like the players can't crisis manage when the shit hits the fan.
Great interview with Jamie, he couldn’t have been more honest and upfront, good luck to him in future
Really good interview, thank you
The fella had the misfortune of meeting that leech Lloyd. Fancy not being allowed in the house he paid for.
She shagged half the PL before she even got to Jamie. Everyone knew what she was. The guy is a mug.
I'm assuming he didn't watch the big brother involving her & Shilpa, Jade, all that debacle, if he had he would've stayed well clear seeing what a nasty spiteful piece of work she is. Teddy certainly saw it & did one quick 😁
O'Hara won the first of his 6 Ballon D'ors when he beat Messi and Ronaldo in 2009. he went on to win 5 Champions leagues in a row at Madrid. And he scored a hat-trick in the world cup final v Germany. Which lead to him getting a knighthood. Then he became the manager of Tottenham and go them relegated
A great listen👍🏻
Great show! Thank you 😊
Shut up
one of the best podcasts ive ever heard
Brilliant pod
Niko Krancjar was signed to replace Modric and was very, very good.
Krancjaaaaarrrr yh forgot about him. SOLID player he was!
How can you not love Jamie O’Hara top bloke proper lad and him of talk sport with cundy is magic!!
I have never heard of Jamie O´Hara but thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Quite a character.
With all due respect he had a great 18 months. He was never one of the 'top prospects in the country' he was a 20 something player breaking through in the PL , he was never this huge prospect he's making himself out to be. It never happened.
I think he probably was a top prospect as a youth player but in the pro game he was just decent. In his mind, he probably still thought he was the same top prospect…which is the right way to think
Proper good decent lad this fella.
Enjoy listening to him. Had no clue he was an actual player till now!
Fair play Jamie. Top of your profession, honest, plenty of obstacles and challenges. Not many can say that, myself included
Quality down to earth lad who made some mistakes early in life. So what good luck to him ⚽️
Such a modest lad
A good listen 👍
I also completely agree with him about Jude Bellingham but unless Southgate goes soon then his talent is going to be wasted in the national team.
The mum loss early is deep and painful 😢
O’hara was a Damn good player of a generation of phenomenal talent
Let’s be honest, Frank Rijkaard built the Barcelona team and instilled the philosophy. Pep was lucky to inherit that team.
Great fella telling it how it is!
I like Jamie on talksport, seems down to earth. Good interview.
As a huge sports bar fan, this pod was right up my street. Some call him arrogant but Jamie is made for media, a good career aswell. He’s entertaining and brings in listeners, also, he’s a lead host, one of the harder things you can do.
Cundys taught him well
Love the sportsbar
Talksport is poison
Was doing so well until the Van Dijk comments, which were truly laughable
Good player this guy, injuries are a real shame
Jamie is brilliant. Down to earth. I definetly feel like Jamie would have been too kind of a person for some people to use and abuse his fame and money, He has solid self-awareness. I don't think he should put himself down so much. You're on the same pedastool as all of those so called 'great pundits'
I’ve literally never heard of him which says it all !!!!
I think Jamie is spot on about modern footballers not having the fire in their bellies. Look at Dele Alli when he first broke into Spurs first team. He always played on the edge and many of us Spurs fans were worried about him getting sent off every game. Then look at him in the past few years. Huge difference. He lost it at the time he signed the £160 per week 5 year contract.
he says a few funny things but he is very sound and clearly has a good heart
How so many players go from earning millions to end up having F all, Having someone that can give good advice is priceless
He’s very modest 😂😂😂
Real Madrid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂what as the chef, the dealer, the entertainment manager? What ?
A great deal more than you anyway
@@seanb25 probably as a ball boy
Imagine doing a full season training at 2pm on £25,000 a week and not playing . Must have been the worst thing ever Jamie

Recap by Tammy AI
Still not got any friends , real friends!!!
Jealous are we
James O Hara is saying Van dyk is overatted. What has he won.
I’m an Arsenal fan and watch/listen to more ex player, current player and every other football related content and I can genuinely say there’s nothing fake or disingenuous that I can see in this…Jamie is pretty honest about how he fell off a cliff pretty early on and the reasons why. The comment about him being bang average as a youngster comparing him to Joe Cole is totally out of time frames so the only bullshit here is the comments. If you want to hear/see some actually questionable answers then watch Ben’s podcast with Matt le tissier…great player but not sure about his view of himself or the situations he found himself in if I’m honest…Jamie is a genuine bloke imo and being a gunner I would love to say the opposite.
yeah i much prefer watching ex players or recently retired players who played 2000s late 90s early 2010s before society went tits up
Anyone else find it odd that UA-camrs ask you to like a video before you’ve even seen it…….
Here try this cake but like it before you eat it
Must admit not many people we know would be able to walk away from 1 million quid.we don't see that side of things.at the end of the day he might have taken a path he didn't want as regards to the celeb circuit etc.but all he wanted was to be a footballer.fair play to that.
Not sure about the real Madrid interest
So to clarify
He was best player at his school , district, county , Arsenal's academy , Wolves marquee signing , best player when training with QPR and Blackpool player of the season ?
He must've been good when young, but wasn't consistent. Obviously he wouldn't be a top player in a top club.
@@nigelxavier883 he wasnt
@@dansmithnodq6854 It seems like hd could play well, so O'Hara was given trials at big football clubs, but couldn't keep up with the standards required.
@@nigelxavier883exactly
Bloke knew half of his team mates have been through his missus
Complicated personality! Fame got to his head and didn't perform. He was the best player when young in Kent, not in the top leagues!
Pls show this compassion tho when on radio
Arteta is going to be one of the best managers ever you can’t say he’s over rated then say he’s spent too much money and haven’t won anything he’s spent that because he’s had to rebuild arsenal from scratch
Who the duck gave him 45k a week for five years? Unreal..
Know what, I’ve changed my opinion on him. Always thought he was a bit of a dick but this shows he’s actually alright.
How many times was he the best player in the team 🤣🤣
If the term “Spursy” was a person
Definitely did put two fingers up at Wolves fans
He had 15 good games in his career.
Ok can you state all those 15 games. Cheers 👍
why is he talking as if he's superstar?
"I played with ledley King, van dijk is overrated" remind me what King won as a player?
Lesley king was a great player, he would have got a big move to a bigger club and won loads if his knees weren’t made of jelly, and I say this as an Arsenal fan
Really enjoyed listening to Jamie 😊
‘ I was like the best player’ (at QPR).
With Zamora, Wright-Phillips etc ?
Come off it my guy lol
TalkSport........ he's got the chops to be a Politician this one! 🤓
Top bloke
Refreshing, honest interview.
😂
Real Mardid would be fun 😂😂
I think there is a lot of poetic licence in his stories to be honest and he doesn't appear like the most honest of characters.
I was listening, giving this guy a chance until he said Virgil is overrated. “Couple good seasons at Liverpool”?! Is this guy actually serious or tryin to wind people up? He’s won every trophy with Liverpool. Get in the bin O’Hara.
Real Madrid, are you having a laugh mate no way in the World
Chatting truth about MUFC and young players. I feel this.. it's the england spirit and fight gone now. Alot players play for say England and basically are african. I'm black but feel it's the immigration in teams. Kids in 80s loved England and teams. Nowadays it's money and cars 😂
True. England is just a passport to them. I don't blame them; in-group preference is only natural.
Some don't even say they are English 😂 I'm on about Grealish and Rice as well. You aren't where you are born you are what your heritage is
@dondamon4669 I laught when I see all Europe. France England even Germany now get african migrants to play for money and power. Also different now and white players have be on job. Alot muslim players don't drink and are fit as fiddle. Alot drinking culture with English lol
@@dondamon4669 I agree but in the case of Grealish and Rice, Ireland kind of nabbed them as they have one grandparent or something.
Brian Clough GOAT look at the teams he managed and what they won ESPECIALLY FOREST
Respectfully Jamie, you joined Arsenal in 1998. They were nowhere near the level of Man United’s academy who had just seen Nicky Butt, Neville brothers, Giggs, Scholes & Beckham come through in 96 & go on to win the Champions League in 99. Arsenal’s academy were not even better than West Ham’s academy who went on to produce the likes of Ferdinand, Terry, Lampard, Carrick, Joe Cole, Defoe etc. Ajax’s academy too were miles ahead of Arsenal. At no point did Arsenal in fact have a top 5 academy ever. Again, respectfully, I loved you as a player growing up (genuinely signed you at every Championship Manager team I played with) but that was a straight lie unfortunately.
Some analysis of 90s academy’s
@@TB41n0 Appreciate that mate. He really got this completely wrong unfortunately & I think he is still trying to come to terms with a “failed to live up to the hype” career by pushing the narrative too far about how good he was.
I did not even mention that Ajax won the Champions League in 95 with an entire squad of Academy Graduates under Louie Van Gaal. The team? Edwin Van Der Sar, Michael Reiziger, Danny Blind, Frank Rijkaard, Frank De Boer, Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids, Ronald De Boer, Marc Overmars, Winston Bogarde, Nwankwo Kanu, Patrick Kluivert to name a few.
How he says Arsenal had the best academy in 98 & he was the best player is actually insane when you read just that list from Ajax. 🥴
Real Madrid 😂 😂 he’s killing me
Jamie ( beans on toast face) O' Hara could not lie straight in bed.
He is only surpassed by his sidekick Jason ( the syrup) Cundy on the porkies front.
Makes merson seem intelligent
Fucking having himself here ain’t he
Best player at the club but the rota was full 😂😂
Turned it off after 5 mins
It's like Premier League Spinal Tap..
" I could have been a contender"
He didn't know the difference between Nigel Clough and Brian Clough..haha.
Great career compared to 99.9% of people.
Great interview. Jamie is great on this and Talk Sport.
Hearing Jamie on talksport over the years I always thought he comes across as deluded & a bit of a dick however after giving him another proper chance and listening to this interview It’s made me realise that I was right to have those opinions
im the best, average at best.....miles off it
Pretty honest interview imo but can tell he embellishes some stories, letters from Real Madrid, Man City, United etc can tell hes just saying big teams to impress cos back then city were league 1 or 2
I like Jamie but he only had a few million to last him the rest of his life….needs to have a reality check.
O hara to Madrid!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm guessing Wolves fans think he shouldn't have left Tottenham either.
