00:00 Excuse me. This is the longest we've lived anywhere. 34 years. Amazing, really. I was a bit of a nomad as a footballer.
00:16 It really didn't settle at all at the clubs. Three years felt and then move on. And so for us to be 34 years in Wakefield is a great place, I have to say.
00:36 The saying goes, "Never forget where you're coming from." Always that take now. Never forget. Oh, John, I'm stealing your thunder.
00:52 It's important in my book when you are lucky enough to have the career like I have to make sure that you give back.
01:06 Then it brings me on to the lady that put me forward for this prestigious award, Denise. I am humbled, grateful and out of tone.
01:24 I don't feel worthy. But what an honor. Thank you so much. And thank you everyone for making it a memorable day. Thank you.
