This day will live with me for the rest of my life, as it was the day that I realised that my 6 year old son would also become a life long blue.
I always encourage him to never give up in everything he does and that he should always fight to the end, however at 2-1 down and with 4 minutes to go, I was the one slumped in my seat telling him it was all over!
Don't give up dad he said, I could see the tears welling up...what if we score? What if Sunderland score? He said. It's over son, it's over...I reply.
Dzeko scores and he's up cheering, while I'm still sat in my seat...We've scored dad, what's up? he asked.
It doesn't matter son, it's not enough, it's still over,I replied...
Suddenly NDJ has the ball and is advancing in slow motion,everything is moving in slow motion,until the ball leaves Agueros boot and the whole world explodes at lightning pace, I'm holding him in my arms and want the moment to last forever,we've done it dad he screams as tears flood out,It was that moment that I realise he is a blue for life.
