Matthew McConaughey gave a great chest-thumping inspirational pep talk to the Texas Longhorns team

Alrght, alright, alright...

Alrght, alright, alright…

JOE always loved playing underage football when we were growing up but there was always one thing that we felt was missing.

Yes we scored goals, won matches and lifted trophies but we always pined for an inspirational motivating speech from our manager, just like the movies.

Our pre-match pep talk usually went like this, “Eh go out there lads and give it your all and remember, if you lose then you’re all walking home”. Cheers gaffer.

It seems that Matthew McConaughey took a different approach as the True Detective star took time out from his recent McConaissance to deliver this cracking speech to his beloved University of Texas Longhorns football team.

The Oscar winning star reflects on the nature of what makes American football so special before getting the whole team to join in on an epic Wolf of Wall Street style chest-thumping harmony.

The speech clearly worked on the Longhorns too, Texas shut down Kansas 23-0 last weekend to claim only their second win of the season.

If that wasn’t rousing enough for you then we suggest taking a look at this moving speech that a baseball coach gives to his young team.
