“And all the people along the journey that have been there for you and supported you.
“Words can’t really describe it when you first walk out. You are overwhelmed, happy, emotional and see your family there.
“That is what you want to do. Make your family proud of you and leave something behind so people will remember you.
“I have done that here and I want to thank everyone involved with the club that has made it such a special time.”
