It's all very false.
He talks as if we meant a huge amount to him and he "loved every minute" etc etc.
The reality is he half-arsed it for nearly 2 seasons, refused to play in certain positions, faked injuries, cost us games by being a fanny and getting sent off, and contributed very little other than pens. Then he down tools for the end of the season as we were chasing Europe and went off to learn Spanish. All while we shove £150,000/week up his arse like mugs.
If he really cared about us he'd have insisted in helping us turn our form around and get higher in the table.
The media circus is all designed to gloss over that and retrain our memory, and it's fine, but it's not the reality is it.
