Some Super Bowl winners book a trip to Disneyland. Others splash out on expensive houses or cars or other luxury items.<\/p>\n
But Seattle\u2019s Aussie punter Michael Dickson had some much more attainable food items on his mind in the moments after experiencing the ultimate NFL triumph.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love my family, I love my friends, I love Australia,\u201d Dickson said on ESPN when asked what his message was for his home country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get home, get some chips with some chicken salt \u2013 I\u2019m craving that.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd a parmi. That\u2019d be nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dickson was among the key players in the Seahawks\u2019 29-13 victory, consolidating a reputation that has many view him as the league\u2019s best punter.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old Sydney product kicked for 335 yards from seven efforts, including a series of pinpoint efforts that pinned New England deep against their own end zone to pile the pressure on.<\/p>\n
Dickson said the team achievement \u201cmeans everything\u201d after he emulated compatriot Jordan Mailata\u2019s Super Bowl breakthrough with Philadelphia from last year in becoming the only Australians to play in a winning team on the big day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what we do it for,\u201d said Dickson, who is the longest-tenured current Seahawk after beginning his NFL career there in 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a crazy game. Our guys balled out. I\u2019m still soaking it in.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nice to know that I can play in these type of games. If you ever feel any nerves, you just look at the guys next to you and everyone\u2019s having fun and making plays. It\u2019s the best feeling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have big dreams. I knew we were going to get here and I knew we were going to get it done and we did.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very very lucky and very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some Super Bowl winners book a trip to Disneyland.
