Premier League footballers aren’t used to interviewers failing to turn up, but that’s exactly what happened during a recent shoot at Brighton. Well, sort of…
Three of Fabian Hurzeler’s squad – Tariq Lampley, Adam Webster and Bart Verbruggen – thought they would be speaking to Yani Ourabah, star of GOAL’s Front Three, on behalf of Experience Kissimmee, the Seagulls’ shirt sleeve partners.
But after arriving at the set, the trio found out that Yani was nowhere to be seen and would not be turning up to speak to them – in the flesh, at least.
Instead, Yani dialled in for a video call live from Kissimmee in Florida, having failed to drag himself away from the blue skies, beautiful scenery, world-famous theme parks and larger-than-life attractions.
Speaking while riding a rollercoaster in the Old Town entertainment district, taking a trip on an airboat in the Everglades and from the region’s stunning Space Mansion, Yani chatted to the players while showing off the sights and sounds of Kissimmee.
“Kissimmee looks sick,” admits Lamptey, while goalkeeper Verbruggen added “we’ve got to get to Kissimmee” after seeing Yani enjoy just a few of the incredible experiences on offer.
