00:00 - Yeah, I mean, I said when I first signed here on the first day,
00:04 if you'd have said you'll be the record Premier League holder for Sheffield United, I wouldn't have believed you.
00:09 - You'd have gone, "What? Premier League? Only Noah would?"
00:11 - Exactly, I wouldn't have believed you.
00:13 And to be sat here today in the Premier League is just mind-blowing, really.
00:19 And you have to pinch yourself at times because of how far we have come.
00:25 The journey we've been on, there's been a roller coaster on it,
00:28 always is at this place, so I'm told.
00:30 Through the years, it always has been.
00:33 Some of the best, not just times of my career, but times of my life here,
00:37 and I genuinely mean that.
00:38 Some of the memories, I mean, when the day comes to hang the boots up,
00:46 unfortunately for some, it won't be for a long time yet, hopefully.
00:52 But you'd like to think that you could come back here as a fan,
00:55 and I genuinely mean that.
00:59 When you find a home, and it's been a home for me, and it really has.
01:03 And if you offered me the chance to probably finish my career here,
01:08 I'd probably snap your hand off for it, I'll be honest.
01:11 So that's the affiliation I feel with the club.
01:13 And as you said, it was something, again, I always go back to Chris,
01:17 and it'll seem like I'm always butchering him up, but I'm not.
01:20 But he said, "When you go to a football club,
01:23 "you want to leave it in a better state than the one you found it in."
01:27 And I think when the time comes to leave,
01:30 hopefully Sheffield United will be in a better place than when I first signed,
01:34 and all the memories will be part of the history.
