00:00 Just a huge amount of pride and honour, but I think just really grateful to have been recognised for all my efforts in football.
00:09 You know, I'm guessing it was club, country, everything that I've kind of contributed.
00:15 And yeah, I think it's just it's really nice to know that you're getting recognised for all the efforts that you're putting in.
00:21 But just honestly, really grateful. There's so many people that could have been awarded this honour.
00:29 And I know everyone behind the scenes that puts in an incredible amount of work to make a change in the game.
00:34 And, you know, I've put on equally some top, top performances and made a difference on the pitch as well.
00:39 So, yeah, I was honestly just really grateful, really proud.
00:43 And I always say that whether I win something or whether I'm awarded something,
00:47 that's my way of giving back to my family and my teammates and the coaching staff and everyone that's contributed to my journey.
00:55 Because that's the thing in team sports. You never get to where you are just purely on your own efforts.
00:59 It's all those around you that make the difference as well.
01:02 So really proud of myself.
01:04 But yeah, I'm really happy to be able to to give something back to the people that have sacrificed everything that they have for me to be where I am.
01:12 For me, like when you get individual awards, they're not something that I think, oh, yeah, I'm going to get that.
01:17 I've never been like that. I've always, you know, it's always been team, team first kind of thing.
01:22 And I guess I would just never see myself kind of winning those individual awards or getting those individual honours.
01:28 So, yeah, this is it's a really nice moment for myself to kind of be able to sit back and, you know, recognise everything that I have done myself.
01:36 You kind of get drawn into everything and sometimes lose yourself a little bit in all the chaos and, you know, the hectic schedules and always pushing for everyone else.
01:45 But yeah, I think it's a really nice moment to recognise what I actually have achieved.
01:50 and yeah, it's something that I'm really, really proud of.
