Spoiler alert…I’m a big football fan. I’m also a big fan of Gary Lineker but that has nothing to do with his team affiliations (Leicester, Spurs, Everton, Barcelona, Grampus 8, Walkers – I prefer a McCoy). I just quite like the guy.

Believe it or not, many years back, I was a pretty handy tennis player. It helps being rather tall! I never had an ounce of the talent or frankly, the single minded determination to even become a coach (my dad is), let alone a pro. Then you have someone like Novak. His talent is incredible …
