I mean, I was a very sporty kid and I sort of, I played football and tennis and squash.

I mean, I did like so many sports before.

And I sometimes look back and think, I should have really... I don't know whether I was ever good enough.

In fact, I definitely wasn't good enough.

But if I ever wanted to go back and do life again, I'd try and be a footballer for sure.

Yeah, I just love football.

But I think squash was the one thing that I think I did kind of excel at an early age.

But bear in mind, I suppose this was...

I played in the, I think it was the North Fife League.

So it's not the biggest pool of squash players in the world.

But I do remember like taking to it very quickly and rising up the leagues.

And then I played all the adults in the area.

So I was probably about 15, 14, and I was beating all the adults in the area and like the kind of,

semi-pros and stuff.

But I remember distinctly, I got called up to the Scottish Midlands for the kind of regional kind of tournament.

And I remember going there because I kind of never really lost up to this point, including sort of adults and all these people who'd been playing for like decades.

And I remember going to the, playing for the Scottish Midlands.

And I just remember suddenly coming across just an elite level sort of players.

And I remember one game,

you know, my dad watching on crestfallen and I didn't get a single point against someone.
