You know that old thing, "live fast, die young"? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but, er, die young? Die old. That's the way - not orthodox, you know? I don't live by "the rules" you know. And if there's one other person who's influenced me in that way I think, someone who is a maverick, someone who does that... to the system, then, it's Ian Botham.
Because Beefy will happily say "that's what I think of your selection policy, yes I've hit the odd copper, yes I've enjoyed the old doobie, but will you piss off and leave me alone, I'm walking to John O'Groats for some spastics."
