You look around and the venues are massive. There is no better feeling, it’s a great feeling.”I’m enjoying myself, and when you enjoy what you’re doing, things seem to happen for you.”I’ve been here before, I’ve done this before, so I know how important points are week in, week out, and it’s going okay so far.”‘A dream come true’ – Rock’s Premier League debut
