that is thanks to that win from adam armstrong and those others playing that make fine margins that make this so enthralling. i had a feeling that they would win but it was tense at the end. ten minutes at a time and it was scary but we won, so it was good. i saw them first in 1971 and this is one of the top days in our history. a magic day. it comes out than you see how well supported the club is and it means everything to finally get back. saints' promotion means that all three play—off finals in the english football league this year were won by the team who had finished lower in the league table, with the higher—placed team failing to score in any of the three matches at wembley. sunday's win gives russell martin, who had been discarded by leeds boss daniel farke when the two were at norwich, his first promotion in management. it was not a sexy appointment but they were brave enough to give me the opportunity and hopefully we have repaid them with a day they will remember forever and it will be one of the best of my career, for sure. so ijust feel nothing but gratitude and, yeah,
