00:00Your childhood hero was Maradona
00:02Yes
00:02Ok, and
00:04You met him in 2005
00:06Yeah
00:07What was that like?
00:08It was one of the best nights of my life
00:10It really was
00:12I was in
00:13We were shooting a film called Miami Vice in Uruguay
00:17I was about
00:19I know you're not clapping Uruguay
00:21You're clapping the film
00:22Yes
00:23Thank you very much
00:23It's gone to Raiden
00:25It was a troubleshoot
00:27So we were stood down for a week
00:28And my dad was over visiting
00:29And he never really visited much when I was shooting
00:33And I always wanted to go to Buenos Aires
00:34Because of Maradona
00:35Because of Mexico 86
00:36And he was a god to me
00:38And so I said to my dad
00:39Do you want to go to Buenos Aires
00:41We go for three nights
00:42We get a couple of steaks
00:43Have a couple of looks at some Elwins
00:45And Elfler's dancing the tango on the street
00:47As I believe it happens
00:48And we went
00:48We had a great night
00:49First night got to the hotel
00:50They booked us a table in a restaurant
00:52Me and Elfler went to the restaurant
00:53The restaurant recommended a nightclub
00:54We went to the nightclub
00:55We got a corner table
00:57Ordered our first drinks
00:58And then I heard a commotion
00:59At the front door
01:00About 40 or 50 feet away
01:01And I looked over
01:02I'll never forget
01:032005
01:04And there was flashlights and bulbs
01:06And there was about 15 or 20 people
01:08In a semi-circle
01:09And they were backing up towards us
01:11And lights going off
01:12And I'm not joking you
01:13It just opened
01:15The gap opened
01:15And there he was
01:19Five foot five inches
01:21Of poetic genius
01:24And he honest to God
01:26Well we've actually
01:27We've got some photos
01:29So take a look at these photos
01:31Now this is a lovely photo here
01:32Take a look at this
01:33There you are
01:34You're at a club
01:36You're having a nice time
01:37At some point
01:38You put on his jersey
01:40It gets better
01:41So look
01:42At some point
01:42You've got his jersey on here
01:44There you are
01:45And then you start
01:46So you get a little closer
01:47Look
01:48Night's taking off
01:49At a good time
01:50And then finally
01:51A magical moment
01:53Between the two of you
01:54Look at this
02:00I mean
02:01What a night
02:03When you're meeting your hero
02:04And someone you idolize
02:05As much as I idolize him
02:06Gender doesn't come into it
02:08Of course
02:09Colin
02:10Colin
02:10I'd love to know
02:11How the night actually ended
02:12After seeing that
02:14How did it end
02:14That was first, second, third
02:16And home base
02:16It didn't go
02:18Not that I'm a fan of baseball
02:19I know anything about the game
02:20But yeah
02:21No he was magnificent
02:23And you know what
02:23We met the next night
02:24You met up again
02:26Yeah we met up again
02:27I think
02:28Oh my god
02:28It's amazing
02:29He wanted to give me that jersey
02:30That you showed
02:31And what a class act
02:32He was cool
02:33His daughter was there
02:34My dad as I said
02:35Was with us
02:36One of the best
02:37Honest to God
02:37I mean dad was a professional footballer
02:39So he was just
02:39My father
02:40Couldn't believe it
02:42He had a jersey for me
02:44That Maradona jersey
02:44And he signed it
02:45And only when I got back
02:46To the hotel room
02:46Did I see
02:47He didn't sign it to Colin
02:49He signed it to Papa Eamon
02:50My dad
02:51Oh
02:52Yeah
02:52So initially I was like
02:54Oh
02:54And then I realized
02:55What a class act
02:56Yeah
02:57There to Papa Eamon
