I started to write a piece about how well I knew Packie. No, that's not what it's about. I just want to say that during a chat over breakfast in the Ham Marquee one year at Sidmouth, I was adamant that he should return to his homeland for his final years. He was under a lot of pressure to stay in England, but I knew in his heart he needed to be at home. Well done Packie, you are loved my so many.
I'll come and heckle for you any time.
