00:27He couldn't have been more dramatic than this, I'm so happy to score the goal and to get
00:34the first place, we deserve it and I want to congratulate everyone, each and every one
00:40of the players, the staff members, the employees of the club, the club owners, the fans, they

00:48To be honest, I can't remember what was happening and I can't put it into words what I'm feeling
00:54right now, I think I'll need a few days to take it in, to digest everything but right
01:00now I just want to celebrate, we'll have a few days of celebration with all the fans and
01:05yeah, we'll go for it.

01:29I've really felt it.
01:30I've really felt it for a long time.
01:32I felt the depths, you know what I mean?
01:34Because it's been some really tough moments last season, midway through this season but
01:40I knew when we got our players back fit that we had a really good squad and a really good
01:45team.
01:46But yeah, as you get to know and you get into the fabric of the club and what it means
01:51to everybody, it's more than, it's more than just a football, it's a football game.
01:56It's more than a medal around your neck.
01:59It's relationships, it's emotions that are going to be there forever.
02:02These players, these staff members are going to be a part of this team forever, 10 years,
02:0720 years, 30 years.
02:08People will talk about this because here at Valley Prairie, what the players have done has
02:12been ridiculous.
02:13It's been amazing.
