"All I can say now is that this is for the Arsenal players, for the Arsenal fans, for the manager and for all of the staff.

"I have had lots of texts and Blackberry messages. My phone is full. I had a text from Arsene Wenger. He said congratulations, you deserve it.

"I replied thanks you very much and said this is for all the Arsenal club, manager and players who have helped me be where I am today. I am, really proud. I will never take this medal off, I have two now!"

"My family came to support me because they believed my chance would come. It went brilliantly and I am very, very proud.

"It has been hard but believe me now it doesn’t matter at all because it is one of best moments of my life."
