A classic, hilarious video of a pre-match pep-talk by Vittoriosa Lightnings football coach Emmanuel Busuttil has resurfaced on Facebook.

The talk, from 2008’s final against Zejtun RS, happened just before Busuttil’s team went on to lose 4-0. However, the speech (or, as the team affectionately calls it, “lecture”) will definitely go down in the motivational speeches hall of fame. 

Injecting actual suggestions for the match with very typical Maltese crude humour and swear words (not to mention some amazing nicknames like Dubbiena, iż-Żgħir and Busy Bee), a lot of Busuttil’s pre-match talks have been uploaded onto YouTube over the years by Dione Galea.
