Oh right, okay.

Striker for Celtic.
Interviewer:
Is he any good?
Kerr:
Yeah, he's the most-- he's probably-- I would say he's the most popular player in Scottish football.
Drew:
He's scored more goals than Henrik Larsson at this-- at this stage.
Interviewer:
Henrik Larsson was like the best thing to happen since, like, what, sliced bread. Or so-- so I heard, I mean, I don't know.

Mhm. Yeah.

Henrik Larsson was a striker as well.

I don't know, you better ask him, but--
Drew:
I don't think Henrik Larsson was too happy about it either, he was--
Kerr:
No. He had to play Celtic that year then and scored against them and he-- he actually like--
Interviewer:
Talk about conflict of interest, right?
Kerr:
Yeah, I know, he was-- he didn't celebrate on the park or anything. Apparently he was, like, upset that he'd done it. I-- that would suck.

I come home one night and the lassie across the road, [name], she was a hairdresser and she was in. [name] was sitting on a stool in the middle of the floor and she'd that skullcap and she was practising her colouring, pulling his hair to and streaking it.

And dyeing it, you know.
Jean:

Interviewer:
Aye, still is to some extent, yeah.
