He added: 'My grandad passed away last year, we were quite close, he was a supporter all his life too, like my dad.' He described the celebrations as 'emotional' and said 'look how many people are here, it's crazy, I never thought in my lifetime... every conversation I've had with my grandpa used to be 'we were rubbish weren't we' and he's missed the past two years of us being unbelievable so it's quite emotional to watch us.
