He explains exactly what makes Guardiola such a unique coach, and shares his first impressions of Mikel Arteta back when he was learning under Pep.Scott also reveals which of his team-mates always thought he knew best, what Erling Haaland is actually like away from the headlines, and the one player in training nobody wanted shooting at them. He also builds his ultimate 5-a-side team from City’s stars.He opens up about his unusual role at the club, explaining why he chose to join City and how he adapted to life as a third-choice keeper, before reliving the nerves and adrenaline of his one and only appearance.
