Dennis Cirkin has revelled in the joy of gaining promotion with us, labelling us as “his club” after his first season in professional football. With that joy he shared the belief of all us, and that's that we shouldn't have been in League One in the first place.
UNREAL
“Honestly it’s unreal. First season in professional football for me, it’s unreal. I couldn’t tell you the feeling.”
MY CLUB
“Even in the first place making the move, to me Sunderland is my club now. Playing 100% in every match, this is what we wanted. Yeah, we got where we wanted to be. It’s unreal. I think it’s something that I can’t take in right now. It’s too much. I think in a few days when everything is settled down, you will look back at it and it will be amazing.”
GRATEFUL
“I played no senior football before this. I couldn’t ask for more to be honest. I think this has been the perfect move for me.”
INTERNATIONAL APPEARANCES
“I’m not really looking at that right now. I’m just celebrating but it will be a good test."
FACTS
“I feel like we were never meant to be in this league. Even before I came here, I always looked at Sunderland and thought they were a Championship or Premier League club. I think next year, when we can get to play some football, I think personally we can do well in that league.”
