Just watched this on the player or whatever it's called now.
So refreshing to see the genuine joy and pride on the lads face when talking about his debut and of course his goal.
Love this kid already! We were sat right near where he was battling on the touchline with their LB - he never gave up and chased and harried all game.
I imagine he's probably wanted to break into the first team for ages, all the years of academy games and development...then to finally get that league debut, connect with the pass and see the net ripple and hear the roar from the crowd as we finished off the league leaders on their big day out! Lovely stuff.
One of the moments of the game for me is when he lost the ball to big Boateng who came on in the second half for them, and despite being about a foot smaller and probably about 3st lighter he just gets stuck in and wins it back. Both twins have the heart of a lion. It's inspirational to watch for the fans and hopefully his team mates too.
Almost welled up listening to him post match! Like a proud parent!
Despite all the rubbish that goes on around the club, no matter the division we are in, it must be such an honour scoring a goal in a competitive game for your home town club, never mind on your debut!
Hmm, not sure! Posted before about how it was Devon who played last pre season yet Dion came through, yet this season despite Dion doing so well last season, it’s Devon who’s been around the squad!

Completely agree, was really impressed with his desire to win that back when the odds were stacked against him! Both of the twins have desire, hunger and a lot of bottle, despite being the shortest players on the pitch. Was nice to see the other twin get his debut yesterday as he was probably watching his brother thinking will I get a chance.
Really hope they both have good careers.
