    And now it is time for the members of the British team who were not selected to get a moment in the limelight.

    Dan Evans and Dom Inglot get a rousing round of applause as they emerge from behind the scenes.

    This time last year we were only a few miles away from here watching Roger Federer win the Davis Cup for the first time in his career. This year, it is the white tracksuits of Great Britain coming out to receive this great trophy, which dates all the way back to the year 1900.

    There were a couple of things the other top players had on Murray, the number one ranking, which I am sure will be a focus for him, and also this great trophy. Anyone who is anyone has got their hands on that.

    The Great Britain team are announced on court as world champions by the Flanders Expo tannoy.

    Andy Murray is grinning ear from ear as he strides out. His hair is soaking wet as well. I think he has had a celebratory champagne shampoo and set.

    The combined challenge of whistles, shouts, camera flashes and the weight of history could not derail Murray from his task, and neither could Goffin.

    The two-time Grand Slam champion claimed a regulation straight-sets win in very irregular circumstances, completing a Herculean year-long effort.

    Goffin gave everything and extended Murray to two hours and 54 minutes, but there was no stopping the Scot, who was mobbed by his team-mates after landing the title with a brilliant lob and falling back on the clay.

    "I just can't believe we did it," said Murray. "I play some of my best tennis when I'm playing for my country."

    Daryl James: Growing up a British GS winner was unrealistic, Wimbledon very unlikely, Davis Cup impossible, then Murray appeared.

    Daniel Robin Slavin: Have loved watching the Davis Cup this year so proud of British tennis.

    Too right Daryl. He has led a one-man revolution in the sport in this country.

    We'll only realise what we have got when he has gone.

    Kyle Edmund on BBC One: "Watching that today was so good. He put in a huge effort. We have just won the Davis Cup, it is an unreal thing to say.

    "To think about where we were five years ago, now we have won the competition. It has taken a lot of hard work. A lot of players have played their part and they deserve the recognition.

    "This is like nothing I have experience and I will use it.

    He starts scratching in the year. He could have done that before now to be fair.
