“If I should be so blessed as to revisit again my own country, but more especially Manchester, all that I could hope or desire would be presented before in one view.”
“It is always in my mind still that I can crush anybody. That's not an issue. But I think that is the same for most athletes. If you don't believe you can win tournaments anymore, then you can't do it.”

It was impossible. The fire was out. Only a few live coals lurked in the ashes, searing unexpectedly at the incautious touch.”
