It was when I weigh it all up but as much as it was ace in the Torch and Wembley Way pre-game I have to be honest I was too nervous to really get into it at the time. However once Mini dived on that ball at the end (I went into shock at the time) and I was able to take it in and finally bask in a Wembley win nothing can or will ever compare to it. It was just so amazing and emotional that I am still waking up and thinking did that really happen. I am forever indebted to the players staff and owner for what they gave me and my family (finally!) and to all my fellow black and whites we shared it with.
Hand on heart I didn’t really enjoyed the game as it happened, I was just too tense. In fact the last 5 minutes felt that surreal I actually didn’t realise where I was. Not until Mini dived onto the loose ball did I come around. When the game was over I was more relieved than jubilant, only when the music staring playing and Gaz lifted the Cup did I really let myself go, danced a Dad dance with my girls (has Coldplay ever sounded so good?). When we got outside of the stadium I felt absolutely shattered and drenched with sweat, like I’d had a good kicking. All that said I wouldn’t have changed a thing, it was perfect.
