Aaron Paul

I didn't even look for my family before the game.

You just sort of go out and you're completely in the zone.

You don't pay attention to the 80,000 that are in the stadium.

You don't pay attention to nothing.

All you're thinking about is the game.

And it's only afterwards, really, when it sinks in, when you're driving home or whatever you're doing, that you actually realise what you've achieved.

It's a really, really surreal day and a surreal feeling.

It's a strange one, Aaron.

That's the only way I can describe it.

It happens so fast.

And thankfully we're here to sort of tell the stories afterwards of being winners.

It's funny you mention that because again in that evening, Neil Ardley, the then Wimbledon manager, mentioned about taking the boys out the day before.

So that was 100% focus on the day.

And he pointed out and he said, you get to Wembley, all the Plymouth boys are on the pitch taking photos, sort of like, you know, wandering around and we are in the game.

I mean, when you've got leaders in there like Paul Robinson, who knows what it's all about.

He's won promotion with Millwall before.

yourself, Bayo, Akin, Femwa, there are leaders throughout that team.

Daryl, just touching on your playoff success, tinged obviously with emotion.

I think my overriding memory from that playoff final was the hug afterwards with you, the hug with Carol Shanahan and what it felt like a real cathartic experience for you.

We did a hell of a lot of work for the detail going into that game.
