Interests
In my spare time I love to play tennis, football and chess
I played football at the illustrious Wolmer's High school for Boys during the time of the where the legendary Ricardo 'Bibi' Gardener (captain of Bolton Wanderers - UK) in my more mature years I play only as tolerated with my sons or peers. I still play a fare bit of tennis when I get the chance to keep mind and body healthy and my all time favourite pass time is a good game of chess with my father-in- law
