No, you don't get...

- What's his name?

- Michael Thomas.

You don't get Michael Thomas

moments in real life.

You don't get many

in football, either.

I'm not in such a state, am I?

I didn't need saving after all.

What?

Let's not get carried away.

You're still

a tragic human being.

Do we look particularly

tragic tonight?

Didn't see many

Miss Jean Brodies

leaping around the streets.

All too busy writing out

tomorrow's lesson plans.

Where did you find

the term "lesson plan"?

You've never planned a lesson.

I've got better things to do.

Oh, is that right?

Is, er, is George Graham

really horrible?

Why?

No reason.

Has somebody else

noticed the resemblance?

Yeah. My fifth-formers.

Hah! He has the reputation

of being mean and dour

and unapproachable and...

OK, OK. Thank you, Paul.

I think I get the message.

And driven!

# I think I'm going back

# To the things

I learned so well

# In my youth

# I think I'm returning to...

# Those days

when I was young enough

# To know the truth

# Now there are no games

# To only pass the time

# No more electric trains

# No more trees to climb

# But thinking young

and growing older

# Is no sin

# And I can play

# The game of life to win

# I can recall a time...

# When I wasn't ashamed

# To reach out to a friend

# Now I think I've got...

# A lot more than just

my toys to lend

# Now there's more to do

# Than watch

my sail boats glide

# And every day can be...

# A magic carpet ride

# A little bit of courage

# Is all we lack

# So catch me if you can...

# I'm going back #
