00:24 Congratulations, we've been your way to the stage like you do throughout football pitch,

00:28 welcome to you. It must be a bit of a whirlwind, we talked about you being the shooting putt

00:32 coming into the season, all the games under your belt, and to keep knocking on the door

00:35 of the Premier League, has it been a whirlwind for you?

00:37 Yeah, it's been a pretty crazy season, you know, I'm lucky to have the manager that trusts

00:43 me as much, and you know, as a young lad coming into the season I've only ever played a single

00:47 game, so yeah, just really lucky to have the team mates and the people around me to help.

00:52 One of the standout moments for you this season must have been your involvement in the goal

00:55 that leads you in front against Leicester at Evermereld early in the season. Unfortunately

00:59 they got taken off you and put down as an own goal, but still, to play your part in

01:03 a moment like that and to saw the celebrations afterwards, which were absolutely wild, you

01:07 knew how big a moment that was, that's got to make you hungry for many more like that.

01:11 Yeah, I'm just glad I didn't over-celebrate, it sort of looked like a, I'm just glad that

01:16 it wasn't that goal, but yeah, I've never really witnessed a crowd like that and I've

01:21 been a big fan since I was a young child, so yeah, I feel great.

01:25 What a talent he is. Thank you Archie, best of luck to you and to me as we go through

01:29 the season.
