Lord's Taverners

Boycott asked me to go and join TalkSport, so I did about six tours with them, commentating.

Generally then started speaking at events, which I'd never really done in my career, and ended up doing hundreds of those, doing a lot for the Lord's Taverners.

I was president of them, as in David Gower is now.

um and and ended up sort of becoming an auctioneer i'm not i wouldn't say i am an auctioneer but i think what happened is that people were used to take on speakers and paying people to mc and paying somebody else to do this bringing on a paid auctioneer and then all of a sudden they realized if you can get the mc to auction as well it can save you money so i ended up doing um I ended up doing a lot of auctions, and I used to get really nervous about the auction.

Um, like I've...

Like when you play with the Lord's Taverners, it's former players, and they do not take it seriously, right? Until something snaps.

So you probably go into those games and they're a lot more casual.
