Quotes

 * If you look at the younger players coming through, they're not that good really. Most of them would do well as half-decent amateurs – or not even amateurs, they're so bad a lot of them. I've probably got to lose an arm and a leg to fall outside the top 50. So that's why I'm hovering around – because of how poor it is down that end.
