Specific Questions

1] Can you tell us about your past injuries?

A] Hamstring and Ankle.

A] I want them all to know that they really make a difference. Your support never goes unnoticed by a player and helps to spurt us on.

I think John is a sweetheart. Very quietly spoken and polite. We did have a couple of problems with our different pronunciations with me saying 'you can tell you’re not from Yorkshire lad' but we managed eventually.
