00:00Luke, what a journey you've been on with this football club.
00:02It's been the most special journey.
00:05Sometimes it stretches outside football.
00:07I've had my kids and my wife in the North East,
00:10so something's been very special to me.
00:12I love it for eternity.
00:14I'll always be a fan of the club as well,
00:16and unfortunately I get to play for them as well.
00:18What a day. It started so badly and ended so well.
00:21I wouldn't stop anything.
00:23I'll take both of them out for me until I'm going to win.
00:26I can't believe what's happened today.
00:27I'm so unbelievably proud of the group.
00:32I just can't wait to be moving for the rest of the evening
00:34and just enjoy what's happened.
00:35And a Premier League player now.
00:36Yeah.
00:38Yeah, it's a Premier League player.
00:42Yeah, Premier League club again.
00:43It's nice to be a Premier League player,
00:45but better that it's a Premier League club
00:46because it means more to the area.
00:49I have everybody.
00:51And all the young boys, they deserve to be there.
00:55Not just me, all of them do.
00:57So, I'm proud of them.
00:59When they said till the end, it meant it, didn't it?
01:01It did indeed.
01:02It's probably the best bit of marketing you could ever ask for.
01:05And the last few weeks have been absolutely whirlwind.
01:08I've never experienced an emotion like it.
01:10And I'm going to enjoy tonight,
01:12and I need to sleep for about three days
01:13just to kind of recover from it all.
01:16And yeah, I can't wait to spend time with the family
01:18because without them, none of this would be possible.
01:21Can I just ask, was it actually harder to watch the game
01:23after you went off?
01:25You were rather, you know, pitch up with you.
01:27Exactly how it all planned out was perfect for me.
01:29You know, how it all planned out was exactly how
01:31it was supposed to, and I can be proud of the lads.
