@WiseMenSayPod Interest in the wider sense that ITV lead with the racism incident as their lead story, BBC clumsily crow barred it into the match report and gave it no time at all, really poor from them which contributed to the throwaway comment!

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 ❤️🤍

Last night, one of my dreams came true.

For years, I’ve dreamed about playing in the Premier League. Some people laughed at me. Some coaches I had when I was little said I’d never make it. Lots of people told me I wasn’t good enough and to give up.

But I’ve always held onto that dream of playing at the highest level. Deep down I believed that if I just kept working, kept learning, kept showing up every single day, then one day it might happen.

Last night, that dream that 4 year old me had….came true.

And if you’d told me I’d make my debut at left wing, up against my mate Mo Salah, I’d have laughed as well.

From non league in 2014, to being released by Watford in 2015… there were moments where it felt like this day might never come.

Sunderland, you’ve been my home for seven years. I never knew I could fall in love with a club, a city, and its people the way I have. You’ve given me space to grow, to fail, to learn, and to find out who I am as a player and a person. To play even a small part in rebuilding this beautiful club and helping it climb back to where it belongs is something I’ll always be proud of.

Making my Premier League debut… I’m incredibly grateful. Taking a moment afterwards to stand with my mum and dad and breathe it all in… that was special.

But that debut chapter is written now. The focus is on pushing on, improving, growing, and helping drive this club forward with this unbelievable group of players.

Seven years ago we were in League One. Fast forward to last night and we have a team giving everything, disappointed to only get one point against the Premier League champions. If that’s not a moment to stop, reflect, and feel proud, I don’t know what is.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey; my family, my friends, the staff, the supporters, and my teammates.

It’s just the beginning ❤️
