There's not a notable weakness there. Obviously he's a great talent. He's tremendous.

His footwork is like Chicka Ferguson.

But I'm sure he would recognise the players around him who help him. They propel you forward.

I'm pleased for the joint venture because I was obviously a part of the organisation.

They have done tremendously well. To be honest, it would be nice to be there.

Enjoy the action, don't get swallowed up by it.

They all know their jobs. They have to go out there and play freely.

I've achieved so much in my career but this is probably the biggest honour I could have received.

To be sat with greats like Billy Boston and Eric Ashton and to be mentioned in the same breath as Harold Wagstaff is just absolutely wonderful.
