So farewell, or rather good riddance to 12 miserable months.
Back in January my vision of 2020 was full of hope both personally and professionally. Little did we know what was coming….. Thanks to the brilliant organisation of so many sporting governing bodies we did manage to get most things back on track, albeit in eerie silence. Three of the four tennis majors were played along with some Masters events before the curtain came down at the 02.
Football regrouped well to keep us entertained on a regular basis and there were some stand out golfing moments.
Then, having sacrificed so much the virus turned mutant and the introduction of Tier 4 has left many close to tears and preparing for a Christmas in name only.
The news is depressing and I have no wish to deepen your gloom. I only hope you have been able to deal with everything thrown at you as best as possible and pray that, after what is sure to be a difficult start to 2021, we gradually return to some degree of normality.
I leave you with my Sporting wish list for the next 12 months and sincerely hope some of your dreams come true as well.
A trophy for Spurs under Jose. Sir Harry of Kaneshire with a cup above his head would be seriously emotional!!
Sensational “twilight career” performances from Andy Murray and Roger Federer.
A winning Dallas Cowboys team.
Two wonderful weeks at Wimbledon with a full house every day.
The removal of VAR
An Olympics to remember in Tokyo.
The return to prominence of Bianca Andreescu.
Four thrilling Golf majors and European glory in the Ryder Cup.
Arsenal keep making us laugh
That I manage to reduce my golf handicap by at least 3 strokes. (Say that every year of course!)
And finally, thanks for all your support this year. Please stay safe and healthy and embrace the joy of life when these dark days eventually fade away.
Merry Christmas and Happy new Year!!!!!
