Post-match he delivered a farewell speech, "Massive part of your life and without their support, you can't do what you do. I owe credit to my parents for giving me a beautiful and great upbringing. My brother Steve, and I followed in his footsteps. And then Candice came along and sort of got me in line."

"We've had a beautiful family and I cherish every moment I get with them. I love them to death and I'm not going to keep carrying on because I'll get too emotional. But thank you, Candace, for what you've done. You mean the world to me, and I appreciate it. I think it'd be quite emotional to watch the guys go out there and not play and knowing that I was able to come out here and do what I could do."
