"At my first Copeland Trophy night, Des came up to me and introduced himself, he said he thought I could be a good player, but told me I was too soft."
"He'd been inducted into the hall of fame that night and I watched him splitting packs on the highlights. He told me he was going to make me tough and when I first went to his house he threw a ball on the ground and told me to pick it up."
