As the dust began to settle following Sunderland's promotion back to the Championship, Alex Pritchard recalled a promise from Lee Johnson that would ring true. The former Norwich and Huddersfield man admitted he had lost his love for the game and Johnson vowed to get him back enjoying football once more.
The club would part company with Johnson in February with Alex Neil taking over at the helm. Pritchard said he's the fire in his belly once more and is looking forward to life in the Championship next season.
The Sunderland playmaker was a constant thorn in Wycombe's side as they put aside any Wembley fears to secure their place in the second tier of English football. There was a general feeling of optimism ahead of the tie but it was still a nervy occasion for supporters.
