And still one of the most entertaining angling presenters on tv, even after so many years.
He really does carry out his job/hobby with a great passion and enthusiasm. :)

Always amazed the England Match Fishing Team do not get more honours given their record. I think only Scotthorne has received an honour. Not even sure he has. The two managers deserve honours also.

Sad days when they have to make the court jesters the knights, shows the decline in standards. Better chance of a knighthood if you play someone else rather than yourself :)
