“I want to say thank you to quite a few people - the manager, coaching staff, everybody involved with the club have been great to me over the years and I can’t say how grateful I am for that.”
“To the players - I’ve been privileged to play with so many good players at this club, it’s been a great pleasure. To my family, who mean the world to me and also the people who organised tonight as I know how much hard work has gone into this. And finally, to Eric and his New York Cosmos for being able to put a team together. Also I’d like to thank Nicky Butt and Gary Neville, it was great playing with them over the years.”
“I just want to say thank you to everyone. It has been a special night, but I am glad it’s over, really. I just hope I’ve given the fans some decent memories. I would say thanks to them for being so amazing and that I am just looking forward to being one of them now, and watching this team go on to win more trophies.”
