Stephen Quinn hailed Hull City boss Steve Bruce after their heartbreaking FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.
The Irish midfielder also promised Hull fans that the team would respond under boss Bruce.
"We'll be back stronger," said Quinn. "We have a manager who's up there with the best in my eyes. He's the best I've played under. He's a real leader of men.
"We'll go away in the summer and regroup and I'm sure he'll turn up a few top-class players for next season and we'll go again, I promise you."
