He also mentioned some advice from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/zola-gianfranco/UDztVf85/"]Gianfranco Zola[/a] back when he was a young player.[/p][p]“You feel the pressure everywhere. The moment you walk into a restaurant or down the street, you know people recognise you. They want a photo, an autograph, they want to chat.[/p][p][b]"Zola once told me, ‘JT, there will come a day when people won’t want your autograph or your picture anymore. So never say no.’ And I remembered that[/b].”[/p][p]The Chelsea legend also spoke about his childhood, his beginnings in football, and his journey to fame.[/p][p]“I started from nothing. My parents had no money, my dad worked hard, and I grew up on the streets. So when I suddenly started going to luxury restaurants and exclusive places, I felt a bit out of place there. Honestly, at the time I didn’t even realise how famous I really was.”[/p][p][i]The full television version of this episode of the Big Pete documentary series will be available on CANAL+ Sport and the CANAL+ streaming service in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Poland, Myanmar, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Romania, and Hungary, and on the SuperSport channel in Switzerland and South Africa.[/i][/p]
