- We do kind of look back at what we have achieved, and it has been outstanding. I am really proud of that - it has been a great moment to be involved with the Gloucestershire County Cricket Club. Now we have a chance to build on all that. It is a new challenge altogether, and I want to keep it going.
- On being awarded the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in 2004: I was very surprised. I never thought I would be considered for anything like this. We (he and his wife, Louise) were both pretty much in tears when we found out. But it was when my wife started to cry that I realized how important it was. I have seen her cry only twice before. One was when our first child was born, and the other when we beat Somerset in the NatWest final. That meant a lot to Gloucestershire people.
