A FORMER Darlington player was at the centre of Wales' post match celebrations following their 3-1 win over Belgium at the Euro 2016 Championships.
Chris Senior, who played for the Quakers until 2011, is a masseur for Premier League giants Arsenal and the Welsh national team.

At the final whistle of a game which confirmed Wales as shock semi-finalists, with a last four tie with Portugal to look forward to, Senior was shown around the world capturing the moment on his camera.

Laid on the pitch in Lille with superstar Gareth Bale and the rest of his team-mates encircling him, he recorded their delight.
Senior netted Darlington’s extra-time Wembley winner in the FA Trophy final against Mansfield in 2011.
He qualified from The Southern School of Massage Therapy in 2008.
