A Winning Team
The sort of team I want to be associated with…..
“One that is totally prepared, hugely committed and massively excited about
playing. I like to be involved in things that are totally professional, that show a
desire to succeed and to be the best.
I like there to be a sense of never ending ambition and being involved with
people that not only put their hand up but go away and make it happen.”
