The Bankstown boy, Jordan Mailata, was surpassed by the emotion on Sunday night, since the 27 -year -old Australian helped the Philadelphia Eagles to finish his seven -year wait to win the Super Bowl.
The Eagles promulgated revenge on the Kansas City bosses after their defeat in the NFL masterpiece in 2023, sealing a dominant victory of 40-22 in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Mailata has played an important role on his trip to Super Bowl this season, with former Rabbitoh and the Canterbury star without words for his team's heroic on Sunday.
'It's hard to explain how I feel. I thought I was going to be dragging my eyes, 'said Mailata.
'Then, what you see is what you get now. Probably, when the cameras go out and enter that wardrobe, I could cry.
'I hope the Eagles are launching a good surprise (party), because I am not in any way to go anywhere.
He added: 'I'm destroyed.'
Jordan Mailata made history on Sunday becoming the first Australian to win a Super Bowl

Mailata was recruited to the Eagles in 2018, but signed a new agreement last April, with a value of around $ A105 million and this weekend, he wrote his name in the NFL history books.
It is among the four Australians to play in the Super Bowl, but it is the first to claim a Super Bowl ring.
When asked about the incredible feat, the former 27 -year -old Rugby League player said: 'That, I like it. That's great.
He was also asked how he would celebrate after the game and a journalist asked him if he would celebrate the victory doing a 'Shoey'.
But the left Tackle of Philadelphia Eagles flatly refused, shook his head and replied: 'Absolutely not. Not in these shoes.
The 6 -foot 8 -inch and 365 -pound left backle has been a key gear in the Eagles attack. Jalen Hurts's side has dominated the teams with his infamous game of 'Tush Push', who sees the Campo Marshal twist behind Moilata, who launches a roll to Maul through the middle of the defensive line.
The work has sometimes been unbeatable and helped Philly secure a position in the Super Bowl last night, with the Nick Sirianni team using the movement in his NFC championship match against Washington's commanders.
On Sunday, Mailata returned to get the Chiefs players out of the way, with wounds running for 72 yards in the game.

Speaking about how his team shattered the Eagles, Mailata, who proudly stirred the Australian flag after the game, told Fox Sports: 'You have to want, you have to want to be more physical.
'That was a great defense we were facing, so we knew we had to answer that call. And that is not easy, you have to have the desire to do it.
The celebrations continued a lot until the night while the Eagles took revenge on the Chiefs, with a wild party exploding in the locker room after the game.
The champagne was sprinkled, the beers passed and some players even illuminated a cigar while the players danced and sang with the Vince Lombardi trophy.
The history of Mailata is inspiring. Having been born in Bankstown, Rugby League began to play for the Canterbury Bulldogs U18 team in 2015.
The tragedy almost hit after collapsing during a preseason training session and was taken to the hospital.
They would diagnose a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome that required surgery and gave a brief control to his career in the Rugby League.
Fortunately, he would return to sport and subsequently offered a contract to play for the Rabbitoh, rejecting the treatment and, on the other hand, followed a career in the NFL.
Mailata was overcome by the emotion after the game, telling the journalists that he was going to return to the locker room to celebrate the victory
When reflecting on his trip, the Australian (in the photo to the left, with the field marshal of the Carson Wentz bosses, to the right) urged other Australians to follow their dreams
And the rest is history, as they say.
On Sunday, the NFL star shared some words of wisdom to young people who seek to pursue their dreams.
“Do what you want in life,” he said. 'If you believe in yourself and someone who believes in you, I think you can travel a lot.
“It meant a lot for me to represent where I am and who I am.”
