"Walking out on to the pitch at the start with my children and receiving the ovation I did was a very special moment for me and something I will never forget.
"It was great to see so many of the lads again from the Wembley days and I'm delighted so many of them could make the game.
"Scoring the penalty at the end rounded it off perfectly - especially with Shane telling me which way he was going to dive before I took it!
