After deciding to retire it was a pleasure to recommend David James -- so I know the position is in safe hands.

Paul Robinson has not even reached his peak yet. I like Paul. I like the way he goes about his job. He's not flash, he just gets on with it.

We worked so hard to bring it back to life, and it has been destroyed in 72 hours flat.
