What a moment this is! ❤️🤍
Lynden Gooch - Scored the winning goal in our first win at Wembley since 1973.
Dan Neil - Captained us back to the Premier League.
Luke O’Nien - League One to the Europa League.
#SAFC | #TilTheEnd
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 ❤️🤍
