Hi
Second
Who would bully an absolute unit like Chris Wood? It just sounds like you're signing your own death warrant!

Like if u agree
Where's his new Zealand accent
Nice to see that premier league is doing these episodes, inspires us to become what we dream of one day. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
It's awesome seeing kiwi players like Chris Wood, Ryan Nelsen and Winston Reid thrive in the PL. Really boosting the game here in NZ
As an Aussie I like seeing players from smaller soccer playing countries (New Zealand, Gabon etc.) represent their nations in big leagues like the prem.
Good choice on person to interview @premierleague
LIKE MY COMMENT. JUST 4 NO REASON
Poor you got told not to play footbal
Enter in the link
Look at my latest vid of me getting a duplicate kenny dalglish and yes I wanna jump out my window now
As a Leeds fan I think it’s overlooked what he did for Leeds in his time with us. Gave Leeds fans something to cheer about at a time there wasn’t much for us to cheer 😂
Hes a great player strong in the air aswell
What's the point of having two interviewers?
Joe is such an awkward ginger
Hope that Roy Krishna plays in the epl in future 😘
31 goals in 88 premier league games for burnley is a fantastic record for a burnley player. Very underrated!
He said he was 6 foot when he was 13, when I was 12 one of my friends was 6 foot 4
Playing Football In Australia is hard, I lived in an area where Aussie rules, was the only sport available, I had to travel 125km a day to train and play, because local teams where not really at my level (sry trying not to brag) but I would get bullied for being a baby and being soft, At one stage it was so bad , then we moved to a different state and I now play for Brisbane Roar youth and I'm honestly much happier.
it's not fair, playing a sport you love and being disrespected isn't right, we need to stop it.
Congrats on A Million. Again.
You are almost in 2 mill😄
Who else likes these types of videos?
Chris wood was a beast for the Albion
I can only apologise for my dreadful sync clap 😂
Like if I am cool
It’s so different in modern day nz, we all love football and rugby (against the stereotype) is less popular now
Great vid
I also got bullied for playing football.
Warhammer was the 'sport' of choice though rather than Rugby…
Chris Wood always has a no-nonsense look on his face. This breaks that perception. He seems such a nice bloke! More so, what a story and what a career he's had. A really interesting video. So much respect for any player who even makes it to the bench of a premier league team.
Who's here after he scored his 50th goal for burnley
New Zealand best footballer
