Morgan Schneiderlin has revealed that when he first moved to England in 2008, joining Southampton from French side Strasbourg, he learnt English from watching television programmes.

I was only 18 when I came over and for me it was a frightening thing leaving my family and all my friends. It has been nearly five years and when I first came, I said I only wanted to watch English TV and listen to English radio stations. I wanted to be in England so I wanted to embrace everything English to help me fit in. Some of the other players told me about Coronation Street and EastEnders and they made me watch Only Fools and Horses. They get me to translate what Del Boy was saying in French, which is very funny. I like to laugh and the humour in the show is not that different to French humour.
