Welcome aboard

Well, I have taken the plunge and told a whole load of you that the blog is here. Thanks to those who have commented already or sent e-mails of support. I suppose one natural question is how good could I be? Fortunately, a Finnish player was prescient enough to capture some of my best play at the European Championship last summer. In just two clips on You Tube he was able to show three consecutive shots from me: a nine-yard clearance, a seven-yard hoop and then a 21-yard hoop. Notice how my trousers have shrunk since two years ago!
