IT WAS a rare show of real emotion from this quiet man, this unassuming manager.
David Moyes ran onto the pitch, towards the joyous West Ham fans, as Jarrod Bowen finished with such exquisite beauty in the final minute of this incredible final.
He had gone through agonies in a contest he admitted beforehand was the biggest of his entire football career and those agonies would not have been a surprise to him.
Nothing has ever come easy in his 45 years in football.
He was 60 a little over a month ago, and the fact this trophy is his biggest prize shows just how tough it has been for him.
It is no wonder, really, that this meant so much to him.
He did win a Scottish Premier Division title as a Celtic player in 1982, but wasn't a regular, and his greatest honour since was a second division title as Preston boss way back at the turn of this century.
