During an interview with Alex Turner with L’Equipe before the headline set at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris, France on August 25-30th, 2022. (translated by METALSHOUT.COM):
Turner about England tour: “You have to make a choice between the two clubs.”
“When I was a kid, I had a shirt with his number on it. I loved the ease with which he made difference with the ball. Even today, when I’m feeling a bit sad, I sometimes watch videos of his best moves to cheer me up. And then he was in the audience and came to see us in the dressing room. Facing him, I was as if petrified as I listened to him telling stories of his time on Wednesday. I didn’t know what to say to him.
His UK days:
“I run a bit and sometimes I do Muay-Thai training. I discovered this discipline about 12 years ago. When I was in a nightclub in New York. I was talking to a security guard from the north of England and he encouraged me to train with him. And, I really enjoy it, it’s good for your body and your head, during the sessions you don’t think about anything else. But I have to be honest, I will never have the level to fight one day in a cage like a UFC fighter… In short, I didn’t excel in any of the sports I did.”
