Liverpool version of Al Pacino's Any Given Sunday speech

Available for over a year

People from Liverpool record the speech Al Pacino gave as an American Football coach in the film Any Given Sunday, to demonstrate that their accent can be inspiring. England manager Roy Hodgson has been criticised for a remark he made about Wayne Rooney's accent. Speaking ahead of England's European Championship qualifier against San Marino on 9 October he said: "Everyone knows Wayne is not the sort of person, with his Liverpool accent, who is going to be able to stand up in front of a lecture room of people. But he doesn't need to. All he has to do is make certain the players he is talking to understand where he is coming from." This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on 8 October 2014.
