The referee’s about to blow the final whistle at Wembley.

Noise everywhere.

Chaos waiting to erupt.

Sunderland seconds from getting back to the Premier League.

And in that tiny moment before it all explodes when everything goes quiet in your own head, Dan Neil puts his arm around me and says:

“Luke… lift it with me. It wouldn’t feel right unless you’re right next to me.”

That hit me 🥹

A lad who grew up dreaming of this club.

Who carried its weight when things weren’t easy.

Who became captain not by shouting
but by how he shows up every single day.

He didn’t have to say that.

No one would’ve questioned it.

But that’s Dan ladies and gents!

Humble in the biggest moment of his life.

Aware of the people beside him.

Grounded enough to share what he’d earned.

That’s leadership.

That’s character.

That’s why this club is back where it belongs.

Proud doesn’t even cover it.

An unbelievable footballer, but an even better man.

Dan Neil… thank you my friend…. For everything ❤️🤍

@mickroper81 That player doesn’t exist in him sadly! Years of riding the bench at city and having Southgate keep you as a bench puppet will drain even the best upcoming talent!

I’m pretty excited to see who speakman has lined up for the recruitment drive! Most anticipated window in years!🙌

[Michael Gollagly @TheMeatLeader]

@mickroper81 You’ll have us looking at Thomas Graveson soon😩😩

Seen doucoure mentioned in a few posts. More in line with the model..

[Michael Gollagly @TheMeatLeader]

@mickroper81 @Sunlundy 🤣🤣 think this says more about your football knowledge than anything else 🤣

Least you’re right about Mayenda a lot 😝

[Michael Gollagly @TheMeatLeader]

@mickroper81 @Sunlundy Think everyone has their rose tinted glasses on when it comes to this hope of Henderson coming back and being the leader/ experience we need.

Happy to be proved wrong but think it’s a hindrance more than a help.
