00:00 A bit emotional to be honest. I think you obviously for the last couple of years
00:04 I've been thinking it has been in the back of my mind a little bit and I just
00:08 felt like it was the right time now to kind of have that weight off my
00:11 shoulders and to kind of enjoy the last couple of months being here at City and
00:16 doing as much as I can to help the team win as many games as we can towards
00:22 the end of the season but it's not like a decision that I've taken easy. I think
00:25 it's obviously something that I've been a part of for 30 years of my life. This is
00:29 all I've known is football and I've been grateful enough to be here
00:36 and another few amazing clubs that have helped me along the way and I've had so
00:41 many great memories but I think they always say you know when you know and
00:45 the last two years I think mentally that has been really rough in terms of not
00:48 just for me but my family as well and I've given absolutely everything and I'm
00:53 proud of that for doing that but for me personally and for my family it was just
00:56 to kind of get out there and then enjoy the last few months.
