Paul Carmeichael's serve and volley

Lishmoan,

Another day, another dollar's worth from the exclusive Broughton Academy of tennis. Paul Carmeichel is the latest in the long line of tennis greats to serve up some goodluck banter....strawberries and cream anyone?

Ahh the good ol days life was good. Lishman was always there with his pink Agassi raquet and that delightful forehand topspin to smash a few balls against the wall at lunchtime or for a warm up at Broughton on a Friday evening when it always seemed to be sunny.

Yes indeed I have fond memories of our time taking the tennis world by storm. Obviously the world seemed smaller then! I do remember one too many lunchtimes playing tennis against the sportshall who would have thought hitting a ball against the wall could be so much fun. I also seem to remember he lost afair few balls of mine on that fateful sportshall roof in his bid to replicate an Agassi special (even though he was always more a Sampras style in my humble eyes). We were easy pleased back then.

Anyway, Alan all the best and hope that your keeping well. Perhaps next time you're back in Preston town we can all meet up to see who's come on the most. I get the feeling Veg will still be king...


Take care buddy
Paul
