Most of the things on the USB stick were of interest only to me; it’s a snapshot of my dad’s life in 2015: photos of friends and family in Argentina (thankfully no nudes).; articles he wanted to share; newspaper photos of boxers, actors and tango dancers that he used as the ba...
as coach Clive Woodward noted yesterday, his absence could prove a motivating force with "everyone doubly determined that we're not going to let him down".Yet as long as he is away, you cannot help wondering just how badly he is going to be missed.Woodward likes to perpetuate the idea ...
