Not LAST out. He came out FIRST. He walked across the pitch before either team had even left the dressing rooms.
Not particularly unusual for the subject of a thread to be mentioned again within said thread is it?
My bad.
Look he got an ovation because he deserved one, not because he went looking for one.
I mean if Hitler had walked out on his own he wouldn't have got an ovation would he? No.
So, the fact he walked out on his own was not the reason he got an ovation.
