Blindfolded Fan Meets Haaland — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:00] My friend loves Erling Haaland, but he has no idea that he just met him. Hello there. That's because he's been blindfolded for over 24 hours. Oh poor guy. So how will he react when he sees Erling Haaland?

[00:14] Well, I don't guess. We'll get to that, but first, let me show you how we got here. Hello mate. How you doing? You fancy a bit of an adventure? Come in, come on.

[00:26] So, I'm gonna need you to wear this. Put it on. I need to pack a bag. Okay. I'm going to ask you where it is, and we're going to go and do something fun. Yes, sir. You'll do it? Yeah, I'll do it. You will? Yeah. All right, pack a bag.

[00:38] Yeah, let's get going. Once Luke had gone away to get changed and pack a bag, it was time to start the challenge. How long do you think he can do this for? All day. All day? All day. Yeah? Yeah. We'll find out. So once Luke lost both his sight and hearing, it was time to check if he really couldn't see or hear anything.

[00:56] He's absolutely clueless. And while Luke waited in total darkness, I noticed something that I need to show you. He was literally watching us when we arrived. That's your name tomorrow. Right there. But before that, Luke would have to wait 24 hours.

[01:10] This is gonna be a long, long day. And as we got into our taxi, the driver was immediately concerned for Luke. So, I'm quite sure that he's going to be waking it up if he's not. He's gonna be on that, working on his council headphones for 24 hours from now on.

[01:23] And then whenever we take it off, he'll be sat like this. with Erling Haaland. No way. Yeah. But the first stop on our journey to Erling Haaland was Manchester City Stadium, where I would be guiding Luke around blindfolded

[01:37] and taking photographs of him along the journey, which I would show to Haaland. That's amazing. And back on the tour, everyone was staring at me, and after making our way to the pitch, where Luke accidentally stepped on his favourite club's badge,

[01:51] I took the third of seven different photos to show Erling, Then sat him down on Pep Guardiola's seat. He has no idea that he's sitting in that seat. It's cool. But as Luke sat back and got comfortable, he spotted something crazy.

[02:06] That is Erling Halland on his sock. We picked the right guy. And as I guided Luke around the stadium, it was time to ask him a question. So how do you feel about meeting Erling Halland, Twal?

[02:18] And will you be surprised when you meet him? Yeah, you will. Stadium tour complete. I nearly sent him home. But before we left the stadium, I decided to take my fourth photo of Luke alongside his hero.

[02:33] I'm looking forward to showing Erling me. I think Erling's going to find this very funny. And after heading inside the club shop, where Luke was getting so much attention, I took my fourth photograph. But after four hours blindfolded, it was time for arguably Luke's toughest challenge yet,

[02:48] eating an entire meal in darkness. This was going to take a while. But surprisingly, Luke didn't really seem to be struggling. Oh wow, you really want to know. And now it was time to make our way back to the stadium.

[03:01] I had a big surprise for Luke. He's been in there a really long time now, but we're almost at the game for the first of three surprises. Because not only would Luke be meeting Erling Haaland and getting a special gift, I'd bought him a VIP ticket to watch Manchester City play.

[03:16] And after arriving at the stadium and nearly letting Luke walk into a fence, He still seemed like he was in a good mood. I tell you what, you guys are really missing out on these tunes. And he was only about to get happier,

[03:29] as this VIP wristband allowed him to stand right next to the entrance that the players walked down as they arrived to the game. Meaning for the first time in this video, he would be able to see Erling Haaland in real life.

[03:42] But before he saw Haaland, he met Man City mascot, Moonchester, and even started dancing with him. So I had to get a photo to show Holland. I wonder if he knows the address. But it was time for Manchester to say goodbye as the Manchester City team bus was arriving And whenever the players arrived I taking off his blindfolds and he burst into three surprises a VIP at the area for thousands of pounds So after seven hours of total darkness Luke was about

[04:08] to see his favourite footballers up close. And once Donnarumma made his way off the bus, I pulled off Luke's headphones and blindfolds, and it was clear to see that Luke didn't see this coming. And now lots more Man City players were walking

[04:23] towards Luke, including Phil Foden, and club legend John Stone. But once the rest of the squad had walked off the bus, including stars like Kushtinov and Ryan Cherky, it was time

[04:37] for Luke to see his favourite player up close. But although Luke was just metres away from Hall and Nye, tomorrow he would be right in front of him.

[04:53] You get to enjoy the match. Get to see it. You get to enjoy the match. Well, this is just the first of three surprises. Three? Three. Okay. This is just the first one. You get to watch the match. Is this where you thought you'd be? Nah, not exactly.

[05:05] No? Where do you think you'd be? I don't know. Where else do you think you were going, then? I was going to hope you were there. Yeah, well, you get to watch the game. But while Luke watches Man City all the time, today I had bought him a VIP ticket.

[05:17] Have you been in this entrance before? No. Nope. But today, that was changing. And after making his way into the VIP entrance, we took a seat at our table. After we each made our score prediction, I had a big question for Luke.

[05:30] Who's your favourite player? Definitely Harry. Predictable enough that? Listen, my son's in love with me. Your son's in love with you? No way he's in love with him, yeah. Put it this way, we were open the, you know the well cooked cars, or stickers and stuff?

[05:42] Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were contacting the cars a bit. We stopped messing him an album. An album? Oh my god. He didn't care about messing an album, he didn't know who they are. Luke didn't know it yet

[05:58] but I had managed to get hold of that card to show Hal and himself but before that Luke was enjoying every second of his VIP match experience actually piling his plate full of food

[06:10] and while he was eating his dinner Hal was on the screen behind him but with kick-off just moments away it was time to head out to our padded seats right on the halfway line. I can't believe it. Is this better than the normal thing?

[06:23] Yeah. It's unfair. It's what you don't wish you were blindfolded for this. Once the game was over, Luke would have to return to darkness again until the moment he knew talent.

[06:35] And luckily for Luke, Man City started strongest, creating some great chances. And it didn't take long for them to open the scoring thanks to this ridiculous, batty assist from Phil Foden.

[06:48] Yes, Dave! Yes, Dave! That's awesome, Phil, isn't it? Oh, my God. What a hit! But Man City weren't slowing down, and the football was getting better and better, which Luke was loving every second of it.

[07:03] Enjoy having midges when you're getting a burn full back on, Phil. So that's exactly what he did, eating one of each dessert before taking his seat for the second half. A question. What? Are they Man City shoes?

[07:15] I suppose so, yeah. They look like Man City shoes. Are they Man City socks? The parlour's here. Parlour's a sock! And that's Rodger scoring a goal in the Champions League final. Tom on the left foot, Rodger on the right foot.

[07:27] Oh, there you go! I knew it. Is that on purpose? Yep. Do you watch many of the games of your son? Yeah. Do you ever get to a game? He's not been to a game yet, no. He's had a kick to the right one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[07:39] Have you watched it on TV? Oh yeah, 100%. He loves it when everyone heads it. Oh, the header? the header. And Luke Stone would have loved this game as there were so many headers at the start of the second half But despite being 2 up Luke was still watching on nervously and because Man City were winning comfortably there was no need to bring Haaland off the bench But after coming on Turkey was controlling the game pulling off some ridiculous skills to beat his opponent and just minutes later he played

[08:06] a perfect pass to a 6-3 third goal. But with just minutes remaining, a defensive look would soon have to put his blindfold back on. So I'll get to the last clap.

[08:21] Alright, I'm good. So after watching his team win, it was time to carefully guide Luke out of the stadium. He still got 16 hours of darkness to go. And once we made our way out of the stadium, we got into the taxi and began a long drive to make sure Luke had no idea where he was.

[08:38] Then after over an hour on the road, we arrived at the hotel and I began my plan to keep Luke in total darkness. taping the curtains closed and removing anything that would tell him where he was.

[08:50] Once the room was totally clear, I turned off the light. Okay, look, I'm going to take off your blindfold. The bad news is, you're still in the dark. This is your hotel room, and I'm going to leave you here overnight. One more thing, I need to ask for your phone.

[09:03] Is that okay? Yeah. Yeah? Okay, alright, good man. So after a long day in darkness, it was time for Luke to get some rest, because tomorrow would be the craziest day of his life.

[09:16] Hope he's ready for a long day. Hello, sir. Of course. And once Luke was back in the blindfold with his headphones on, it was time to prove that they really worked.

[09:28] You ready to meet Alan? I'm fine, how are you? You're more than welcome. And after checking Luke out of the hotel, we made our way to our final taxi of the video.

[09:42] It's always so awkward to be Uber drivers man. Oh. So after the most awkward drive of my life, we had arrived at our final location. And it was clear that Luke was starting to get nervous.

[09:54] Just a few hours sitting in a room and we'll be there. Yeah, that's small, aren't you? And I was happy that Luke was comfortable, as he would be sat in his chair for the next four hours. Until Halland arrived, and that time had finally come.

[10:12] So he could die from the 21-hour dose once or twice a month. I fucking hate it. I'm unnerved. You should be.

[10:24] Alright, big man. How are we doing? He just said, before you came, he said he couldn't stand it. He's like, why am I nervous? It's a good reason to be.

[10:36] Should I show you his head? Hello there. Can you read the sign? Here it is. It's a massive fan.

[10:48] Yesterday he was wearing Erling Haaland socks. Okay, so we're at that level. Yeah, we're at that level. Absolutely.

[11:00] No, no, no. Just a second already. Lifelong City fan. Oh, he's going to... Is he... He's... This guy's style is good. Love that. So what we're going to do is, we're going to bring him over to the chairs over here.

[11:14] We're going to show you a couple of hangs. And then, what we're going to do is take the blindfold off. Okay. He was first put in his blindfold 24 hours ago. We took it off to watch the match last night. Yes. So he was a bit upset you didn't play.

[11:27] Yes, I know. But we'll make up for it today. So he's been in complete darkness and he gets... Oh, poor guy. But meeting Holland would only be Luke's second surprise. I had a special gift for Erland. He's probably working a road.

[11:40] I can sense that he knows something's going on. I'm going to show you what we did though. So we took him into his blindfold and he sat in your seat. That's amazing. And then we got him up to the pitch And he respected the badge he didn step on it very easy Went into the store there he was again didn have a clue

[12:02] and then finally went to the games and took it off as he arrived, as a fresh arrive and kept it off, so he put your hat on and you were like, I don't need anything with it That's very loud

[12:14] He didn't know what we were doing and then he woke up today, put that on and he spent the night after Yeah, I think you know what that is. He said you smell nice. I think you know. I think I know. We need to get one last photo. Yes, come on.

[12:26] So chill. You ready? Oh! When we were at the game last night, we got talking to him.

[12:39] He's our son. Big football fan as well. Hasn't been to a City game yet. Who's your favourite player? Definitely Harry. I think my son's in love with him. Your song's in love with him? No way he's in love with him, yeah. Put it this way, we were up in the...

[12:52] You know the World Cup card? Oh, it's different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were contacting the cards with him, and we popped Messi and Ronaldo. And I was like, oh my God! And we popped... He didn't pick up Messi and Ronaldo, he didn't really ask. We opened the pack,

[13:04] all of them came out, and he was just... Oh, really? So, is that just him? It's all as well. It's a set. So, the card that he was speaking about there,

[13:16] that's what's in his box. We got him. I was wondering if you could sign it for this. I'll do it. Yeah? You do it. And then once you take it back, I'll offer to prize him and after a minute or two, you can give him this. And he has that for his phone. So what I'd ask is, to make it as shocking as possible, can you go as close as you're

[13:32] comfortable? Well, let's go as close. Yeah? So I'll be like this thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're happy. All right. Quiet everyone, everyone. Don't let him. Okay, man. Are you ready for a surprise? Yeah.

[13:44] Okay, now, are you ready for me to take this blindfold off for the first time in a long time? Yeah, please. Yeah? Please, yeah. What do you think, Fatma? I have no idea.

[13:57] No idea? Are you... I've been in that room for how long? A long time. Five hours? Something like that, yeah, at least. And you've no idea? Not really. You ready? I'll be done.

[14:10] Okay. Okay. Hello, love.

[14:22] Hello, mate. I'm buzzing over you, man. I'm buzzing over you, love. I'm not going to lie.

[14:34] I appreciate it. I appreciate the support. And your son as well. Yeah. Appreciate that. Thanks a lot. That's the... I was telling him all about it, telling him you were wearing socks yesterday.

[14:46] Yeah, I've got my hands up. Do you not have them? I don't have them. I'll get you a pair. Yeah, please. So you haven't seen me, do you? I've just shown our language. This is what we did yesterday. So you went and sat in his seat. And we brought you to the pitch. And then I brought you to see him.

[14:59] And you just didn't really seem too bothered, did you, Anna? No, you're okay. You didn't really care. No, you are. You were dancing with a mascot. And then lastly... That was about five minutes ago. So they're yours.

[15:12] What journey you've been on, man. Crazy, innit? The wholesale. Definitely worth it, yeah. Yeah? I can't believe you've got that in there. Well look, Erling's got you something. If you want to have a look inside the gold box.

[15:25] Yes please. So last night you were telling us a story about how much your son loves Erling as well, and you're opening packs. So this is what Erling's got you. No way! Take it for the wee man.

[15:37] You'll be buzzing with that. There you go, there's something to keep. On top of that we're going to get you a couple of VIP tickets so you can go again. Watch the big man of Man City. There you go. Thank you so much.
