“I am so pleased now, we are finally a League One club. My heart is bursting. I’m over the moon, it's brilliant. It has taken 11 years to get to this point, we will remember this night forever.”
Wife Carolyn was also left over-the-moon after watching the boys secure their spot in League One.
“I have just been celebrating with the players, “ he said. “I am delighted. Look at everyone (fans on the pitch), it’s incredible. I haven't computed the fact that it’s happened.”
