10. On the occasion of my grandfather Harry’s 100th birthday, with my mum and dad, brother, cousins, Rob (centre) and Tim, my aunt and uncle, Jen and Tom, and, seated, Grandad and Nanna Romey.

11. The Boss. Life was never boring with Brett Sutton around – the man who turned this nobody into a world champion.
