Who is the most talented player on tour?
Ramy Ashour.
Who was your best mate on tour?
Rodney Durbach.
Who’s the worst nightmare to room with?
Probably someone like…. Simon Parke is pretty particular about his things and where it goes.
Who did you have the biggest battles with?
Early on it was Dan Jenson, before he got badly injured and I also got my injuries, and then a couple of beast matches with Stewart Boswell also.
Who gets in most trouble on a night out?
It’s not Alex Gough because he tends to fall asleep…erm… That’s a very difficult question to answer.
Who would you least like to referee?
Wael El Hindi.
Who is the fastest player on tour?
Greg Gaultier…behind me!
Who eats the most?
Joey Barrington – he’s a human rubbish bin.

Jon White.

Ong Beng Hee – he’s pretty keen on the old practise court.
Who’s the last one to get a round in?
Have I mentioned Simon Parke before!
Who gives the worst advice in between games?
I have heard a comment from Mark Cairns. One of his matches when he was coached by David Pearson. In between games, he was told to slightly alter his grip, to which he replied “What sort of bloody advice is that?”
Which player would you most like to watch?
I like watching Amr Shabana.
Who is your most awkward opponent?
Jonathan Power for sure. He just didn’t shut up!
And finally, who would win a PSA arm-wrestling competition?
Is this the board members or the players? It would probably be someone like David Palmer would have a pretty good shout at that I’d imagine.
Thank you very much.
No problem.
