"We weren’t prepared for the level of atmosphere. There were around 170,000 people; all wet; all screaming. There was rain coming from everywhere and everyone was drowned. Everyone had these plastic things on then - I cannot explain it to you. There were people and creatures everywhere and he was mind-blown by the whole thing."
"I’d been before but I have never experienced anything like yesterday. I was a bit shell-shocked. It was mad. There were so many people, so many cultures, I saw a preacher at one stage. It’s the crowd of two Cup finals all together. Go into the middle of it - feel it to believe it. We won’t expect anything different. Ever again."
