On Saturday night, Michael McIntyre’s big performance took an emotional turn as the famous football player fought back tears.
This beloved family sitcom returns on February 21, featuring celebrities like Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy in a “Don’t Forget Me” segment. The couple’s mission is to reconnect with people they haven’t seen in years.
From wedding singers to Peter’s childhood crush, everyone appeared. But what truly disturbed him was Barry Quinn, the former England footballer’s first professional coach.
Upon hearing Barry’s voice, Peter became agitated, and Abby quickly noticed, “He’s crying.”
Although the star athlete didn’t burst into tears, the surprise brought tears to his eyes.

Speaking about his close relationship with his coach, he said, “I will never forget him. When I was a kid, I really thought my style came from my relationship with Barry Quinn.”
The two met when Peter was about ten years old and started participating in the sport.
The footballer added: “I think at that time, at that age, it was the right time for you to develop. I was lucky to have a coach like Barry, and I think he really took me to a new level. I know that’s what shaped me into the player I am today.”

Barry also spoke about their relationship, praising the striker: “He has a great attitude.”
“He’s talented, but he always wants to improve, he always wants to be better. He works harder than anyone else and has a lot of support from his family. So he’s definitely a coach’s dream.”
The 45-year-old striker has played for clubs such as Liverpool, Stoke City, Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley during his impressive career.
