00:00Absolutely amazing. 50 years of playing squash to get this tonight really round of a beautiful career.
00:11And that's amazing. And squash has been something that's been built in you. It's your DNA, isn't it?
00:18Yeah. I mean, I'm 76 now. You look younger.

01:13We're nearly at the maximum. 30 kids over five courts.
01:17There's as many as we can handle.
01:19And at the moment we've got about 27 kids coming to MagSport Games.

01:33that I've seen kids practicing on their own.
