Twenty-four hours on, Dean Windass is still coming to terms with what he witnessed at Wembley. ‘I can’t stop crying, man,’ he tells Mail Sport from his home in Hull.
‘F****** hell. I thought my crying days were over after 2008 and then he’s just gone and done it to me again. It’s just so emotional.’
Windass’ tears first started flowing at 5.38pm on Monday when his son Josh won the League One play-off final for Sheffield Wednesday against Barnsley with a diving header in the last seconds of extra time.
