We left it pretty late, so I&#8217;m happy we got the three points. It&#8217;s still important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always going to care about this team, so I want to leave them in the best place that I possibly can. Obviously, super emotional. I&#8217;m very honoured to walk off the pitch and get the reception that I did. The fans have been amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to keep it together the best that I could, but I&#8217;ve been here a long time. I care about the club. I care about the people.
