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.

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.

It’s a good job you didn’t go Madrid… we might not of ever seen zidane 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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!

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.

Saying he basically made bale killed me😂😂😂😂

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.

Great interview with Jamie, he couldn’t have been more honest and upfront, good luck to him in future

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.

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

A man who loves the sound of his own voice

I've been Jamie O'Hara, you've been the best

A great listen👍🏻

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!

Really good interview, thank you

What a great normal guy, it's so refreshing to listen to someone so honest. I loved the part about gerrard

one of the best podcasts ive ever heard

The fella had the misfortune of meeting that leech Lloyd. Fancy not being allowed in the house he paid for.

Brilliant pod

Great show! Thank you 😊

I love how they were muting expletives and then gave up 😂

Recap by Tammy AI

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.

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.

How can you not love Jamie O’Hara top bloke proper lad and him of talk sport with cundy is magic!!

A good listen 👍

Quality down to earth lad who made some mistakes early in life. So what good luck to him ⚽️

Enjoy listening to him. Had no clue he was an actual player till now!

Imagine doing a full season training at 2pm on £25,000 a week and not playing . Must have been the worst thing ever Jamie

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 was a Damn good player of a generation of phenomenal talent

Such a modest lad

The mum loss early is deep and painful 😢

Fair play Jamie. Top of your profession, honest, plenty of obstacles and challenges. Not many can say that, myself included

I like Jamie on talksport, seems down to earth. Good interview.

Great fella telling it how it is!

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.

Niko Krancjar was signed to replace Modric and was very, very good.

Good player this guy, injuries are a real shame

Was doing so well until the Van Dijk comments, which were truly laughable

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

Always thought that most players poor form can be largely explained by injuries, carrying injuries and being afraid of getting injured again. There's a difference between being fit and being match fit. And at the top end these can make all the difference. Thing is teams don't publicise these injuries for fear of other teams exploiting these weaknesses or reducing the possible resale value of players.

Superb jamie honesty is the best policy keep on the upwards curve

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'

How so many players go from earning millions to end up having F all, Having someone that can give good advice is priceless

Anyone else find it odd that KZfaqrs ask you to like a video before you’ve even seen it……. Here try this cake but like it before you eat it

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

An average Premier League player who wasted his talent on off the field activities. Did well to turn his life around in the media. That’s about it really.

Proper good decent lad this fella.

He’s very modest 😂😂😂

On women in men’s football, but of course Jamie would say that for fear of losing his job.

Still not got any friends , real friends!!!

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.

Really enjoyed listening to Jamie 😊

Who the duck gave him 45k a week for five years? Unreal..

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.

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

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.

Real Madrid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂what as the chef, the dealer, the entertainment manager? What ?

Top bloke

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

Bloke knew half of his team mates have been through his missus

Brian Clough GOAT look at the teams he managed and what they won ESPECIALLY FOREST

Refreshing, honest interview.

If o hara reads this, he is an entertaining guy for sure who admits he has got lucky with the media side of things. He’s not the most intelligent or well read (which he admits) but I think we would all enjoy a pint or round of golf with him!

He's a good lad

Let’s be honest, Frank Rijkaard built the Barcelona team and instilled the philosophy. Pep was lucky to inherit that team.

James O Hara is saying Van dyk is overatted. What has he won.

Not sure about the real Madrid interest

I’d like to have seen Pep at Wrexham, over 5 years, to see it he was truly a world class manager. Banging the woke drum, for fear of being cancelled, s***house!

Great interview. Jamie is great on this and Talk Sport.

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 ?

I like the way Jamie O'Hara doesn't hide away and just tells it straight down the line. Is totally honest about money and isn't scared to quote exact sums of money. I found him really interesting and genuine

"I played with ledley King, van dijk is overrated" remind me what King won as a player?

Being a West Ham fan I saw Jamie a lot and I can tell you he was one of the best players coming through when he was at Tottenham in training sometimes he was unreal by far their best player 🙏🏽⚒

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.

Definitely did put two fingers up at Wolves fans

‘ I was like the best player’ (at QPR). With Zamora, Wright-Phillips etc ? Come off it my guy lol

If the term “Spursy” was a person

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.

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.

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 😂

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.

How many times was he the best player in the team 🤣🤣

Turned it off after 5 mins

He had 15 good games in his career.

im the best, average at best.....miles off it

Real Madrid? Sure Jamie sure, what a crackpot

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

Like him

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

Real Madrid, are you having a laugh mate no way in the World

Real Mardid would be fun 😂😂

Sad to hear he lost his mum so early.
