"Any fears I might have had that, 'Well, you're too old for this now, you can't get out on the field with the players, you can't do the coaching and manage the team in the way you always did.' No, that's not true, I can do."
"I'm really pleased with everything that's happened here, and it won't be easy for me now to wean myself off it again because being out on the grass and being with a group of players who were so receptive, so good to work with, so keen to do well."
