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.

Re: No RL Honours
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
