Comedian Milo McCabe’s
character Troy Hawke has become famous for taking his Greeters Guild persona to
shops around the country, welcoming and waving goodbye to customers, often to
the irritation of staff.
However, this time it
appeared he had been invited by Premier League champions Man City to greet the
players, leaving a number of them baffled including Jack Grealish.
“Welcome to training camp,
you have a fabulously symmetrical face,” Hawke said to the England midfielder
upon his arrival.
“I have what?” replied
Grealish, before asking his colleagues inside “did he say anything to you that
guy?”
Hawke had more luck with new
signing Kalvin Phillips, saying “welcome to training sir, you have clear eyes
and fabulous skin, you’re clearly a master of hydration.”
“I try to be yeah!” replied
Phillips, before entering with a smile on his face.
Last up was manager Pep
Guardiola, who was on the end of something of a riddle from Hawke.
“Who’s more the pep talker:
the pep talker, or the pep talker who gives Pep a pep talk?” asked Hawke.
“Pep pep talker,” Guardiola
replied, before hurrying inside.
