00:00Yeah, it was an amazing feeling. Something I've been thinking about for a long time now, you know, having plenty of time out to watch the games and
00:07You know, I just want to get back out there and today I've been able to do in a fashion that's you know
00:12It's like a dream come true really, you know
00:13I haven't played much up around the lane in front of the fans and with the team so
00:17The support they've shown me, the team shown me, the staff, the manager
00:21It's just nice to give something back in such a big game for us today
00:24Can you describe what that surge of emotion was like when you saw it had beaten Paterson's hand?
00:30Yeah, well, I mean, it's amazing, you know
00:33I've scored and I'm close to the goal and I'm close to the fans and
00:36you know, it's just that full elation throughout the body and you get to run off and celebrate and
00:40Express yourself in
00:42The way I did, you know, celebrating like that. So it was great
00:45Yeah, and it was great to you know, celebrate that with the team as well
00:48they've been amazing with me throughout my recovery and
00:52Yeah, it's just great to be back
00:54So where are you at then? Because obviously injury has meant it's been a very difficult time for Sheffield United, for you at Sheffield United
01:00So where are you on the journey?
01:03Yeah, I feel really good
01:06Obviously, it's a long long process. I've been out for a while
01:10Missing a lot of preseason and stuff like that. So I think the manager, the physio staff and
01:15The coaching staff have been really good with me
01:17I think I don't want to rush myself back in and get myself back in that same situation
01:21so, you know if I can come on and make impacts like this tonight and
01:25slowly build into helping the team and I'm all
01:28You know permanent basis and get more game time and stuff like that. That's that's the way I think it'll go
01:34Yeah, so it's not a case of right. I've scored now. I'm back. I'm starting at West Brom kind of thing
01:39It's a bit more, you might have to be a bit more cautious than that. Yeah, of course. I mean, like I said, I feel really good
01:45Probably speak with the physios and the manager and stuff like that
01:48See where they see it because like I said, I don't want to rush it. I'm feeling good
01:53Feeling really happy with how physically and mentally I'm feeling
