"I think it's the most I've enjoyed a game of football since I stopped playing. I thought it was a really good game. Wrexham were excellent. My favourite game since I stopped playing was Barcelona v Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals last year, but I think one has taken over. I really enjoyed it."
"It's an incredible tribute for everyone connected with the club. It's great for us as a club that the wider audience saw what the team's all about. It really was an electric atmosphere from minute one."
