00:00Wembley lad, something around your neck?

00:02What's your feeling about you?

00:04It's amazing, it's amazing to come back and hear that album

00:08that I'm familiar with and win in front of my family, my friends and the fans.

00:14It's amazing to me.

00:16Is that something?

00:18Nah, it hasn't something to me, so I haven't really been thinking about it.

00:22So during winning the FA Cup, it's another bonus.

00:26Where was I staying? Do you have a tyrant who's from?

00:28Yeah, definitely. This is what you play for.

00:30You play for to win medals, win trophies,

00:32and that's what I was able to do today.

00:34It gets a good start.

00:36But I think everything else, you've got a complete solid application

00:39that I can see in your performance.

00:41Yeah, I knew, like, I could tell from their line-up,

00:44they have good winners, so I'm just trying to prepare myself for that for the whole week.

00:48And I know how good I can be defensively.

00:52So I just try to show that today.

00:54When they get ready for the penalty, Tori,

00:56when you look at Dean, what's your thoughts,

00:58and what's your thoughts when he makes that save?

01:00I know how good Dino is,

01:02so obviously I was just hoping he saved it,

01:05and he pulled off an umbrella.

01:07So I'm just happy that he's engulfing me.

01:10On the other side of the pitch, your fellow full-back, wing-back,

01:14got a player of the match.

01:15Can you just give us some words on Danny, his performance today?

01:17It's just an engine. That's the best service to describe him.

01:19Don't stop.

01:20And we're just blessed to have him.

01:22I know in the locker room, the changing room at the end,

01:24I think, Joel, did he do a little speech to the players,

01:26or did everyone do a bit of speech to everyone?

01:28What was it like?

01:29He's a senior player,

01:31and our captain needs someone that we ought to look up to,

01:34so he had a little speech and he managed and stuff.

01:36Did you say anything before the game,

01:39like in the hotel last night?

01:41I was just preparing for the matches normally,

01:44just like any other game.

01:47Is that how you're interested in the other game?

01:49Is that how you have to see him to win today?

01:51We know what's on the line,

01:53but you just want to continue the same routine.

01:56You don't want to get ahead of yourself,

02:01you don't want to get too low,

02:02you just want to do stuff that you're familiar with,

02:05that's what you don't want.

02:06It sounds like the manager says,

02:07that's how he's sort of drunk it into this team,

02:10this squad,

02:11not to get too high,

02:12not too low,

02:13not too far ahead,

02:14not too far back.

02:15Is that something you can lift up from him as well?

02:18Yeah, definitely.

02:19He's been here before,

02:20he's been in the band before,

02:21he knows what it takes to win,

02:23so definitely.

02:24I don't know if Jose always step up

02:26in the big round of games,

02:27that's what I've played.

02:29Yeah,

02:30he's one of the best players in the Premier League

02:32to see that as we can make out,

02:34we're just blessed to have him,

02:36and it was a great goal,

02:37and I'm just happy for him,

02:38and for the team.

02:39Waking up those stairs,

02:40have you visualised that before?

02:42You obviously know the stadium

02:44from growing up around here.

02:46What was it like walking upstairs,

02:47being on the balcony,

02:48seeing Prince William with the trophy?

02:50Is it all a blur,

02:51or what's it been like?

02:52It was all a blur to be fair.

02:54Obviously,

02:55I've watched previous Echo Cup matches,

02:57and watched the TV walk up the stairs,

02:59and it always looks like something

03:01that I would want to do,

03:02and doing it was just,

03:04it was a surreal moment,

03:05I wouldn't know how to explain it,

03:06but I'm just blessed that I was able to do it.

03:09And you mentioned your friends and family,

03:10how many tickets did you have to get?

03:12A lot.

03:13A lot.

03:14A lot, yeah, a lot.

03:15How's that gold medal going around here?

03:17It's beautiful, it's beautiful.

03:18It's something that I've dreamed of,

03:20so I'm just happy that I'm able to wear it,

03:22and we're able to win a final defence.

03:24And how does it feel

03:25to have won the first race in all the 20 years?

03:28That's an amazing feeling,

03:29that's what we set out to do,

03:30and we came here today,

03:31so we're happy that we got it over the land.

03:33Are you going to throw in the shirt,

03:34and find a nice home for the medal?

03:36Yeah, I'm going to do it to my mum.

03:40Congratulations.

03:41Thanks a lot.

03:42Cheers, Phil.

03:43Enjoy your celebration.

03:44Cheers, Phil.
