00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker has said that his side created a small piece of
00:05footballing history by triumphing in the championship this season.
00:10They won the title in the last game in the last few minutes of the match away at Plymouth
00:15Argyle with Mano Solomon scoring the decisive winning goal in the encounter.
00:20I told them that so I normally be on an open bus tour always for some silverware, I don't
00:26go tomorrow, on Monday sorry, without something to lift anyhow and I was so
00:32desperate and it was lots of energy after we have achieved our big goal to be
00:37again there on it today and to make sure that everyone is on it and the halftime
00:41talk today was complicated. I need to be so concentrated right now just about
00:46enjoying and yes I'm happy that we are able to have all this medal. I think these
00:50memories will live together with the sleds but also with our supporters. We have
00:54quite a little piece of history today. I'm not sure at the moment I'm just
00:59happy when I sit in my seat in the coach and want to close eyes a little bit
01:04because really I'm totally run out of energy and I need a few minutes but I
01:08guess later on we will start to celebrate and then I will be back again yes.
01:11And Bradford City manager Graeme Alexander has described them being promoted to
01:17League One as the best day of his footballing career so far. He said that it
01:22meant so much not only to him but the players, rest of the staff and the
01:26supporters and that for him it was a privilege to be involved in.
01:30It's best, it's best day of my career. It's best day of my career honestly. I've had some brilliant times from coming in at 16 back in the 80s but it stops it because I know how much it
01:46means more than 10, 20, 30 people. It's thousands upon thousands upon thousands for a city that's been through the mill and certainly this year especially with the 40th anniversary honestly that for me it's what it means for everyone else.
02:02That's where we can get our most pleasure from and yeah it's hard to describe but I'm so glad we got over the line. It's brilliant.
