More Quotes by Sean Longstaff

I think to be able to do it as brothers, it just doesn't happen a lot. It fills us with pride. Just before the game, I looked across at Matty and I thought how worldwide the Premier League is and to have two brothers from North Shields at 19 and 21 starting a game is pretty crazy.

I know my brother will have my back every step of the way.

If the team start picking up results, everything will look more positive and people will forget about the previous manager, as long as we're successful on the pitch.

I was 18, I wanted to be a first-year pro.

I wanted to look back and say to those coaches, 'You're wrong, I'll be the one who kicks on and makes it'. Only I could change that opinion.

I haven't changed, I'm still the same lad who lives at home with my mam, brother and sister.
