"For me and the show, we probably worked really well for each other because there wasn't loads of people doing the showboating stuff. You'd see Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, myself, so I'm in with these massive stars doing tricks. I think that raised my profile as well. But that's the way I've always played football. I still do it now. I love playing that way."
"I love expressing myself. And for me, I think that's the way football should be played."
Lee Trundle was a skilled footballer who played for Swansea City and became known for his exceptional dribbling, juggling, and showboating abilities in lower English football leagues. During his prime at Swansea, he scored 92 goals and earned three PFA Team of the Year selections. Soccer AM's 'Showboat' segment featured his tricks alongside those of elite players like Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, significantly raising his profile. Trundle expressed his love for creative, expressive football and continued playing this way throughout his career. Before the social media era, he would send updates about his performances to Soccer AM staff, who compiled footage for the show.
