"The first time I ever attended a professional football match was after I
had been appointed. I'd never been to a football match, didn't have any
interest. My interest was in orthopaedic medicine. And I was very
interested in athletics for myself, I used to box for my medical school
and I used to train regularly.... Whenever there was a home match I had to
be in attendance at the ground and when my team was playing away then the
medical officer to the away team acted in the same way and looked after
the immediate injuries.... I would be sitting in the director's box,
because we had a physiotherapist who would attend to the players on the
field. I had my own medical consulting and treatment rooms in the
precincts of the club and I would see to them. But I can't say I was that
interested in the actual game as such."
