""I heard it. It's one of those things in football. The fans booing isn't a reflection of how they feel about him. They are trying to give their team the edge, and throw him off a bit. I'm sure they appreciate what he did for the club. Obviously he loves the club a lot, I know that from speaking to him. It's one of those things that can happen in football.""
