At Primary school I once replaced future England and Liverpool defender Rob Jones at his favoured position at Right Back in the team. Not quite as impressive as it sounds. He could play anywhere and I was shit playing any other position. And not that great there either #crapclaimtofame

The great actor Mr Tom Conti once wrote to me in support of a theatre company I and some friends were creating in Liverpool. His words of wisdom and warning… plays which are infrequently performed are frequently bloody awful. Very true. #crapclaimtofame

Favourite movie quote on the downside of speed reading: “I, for example, would like to read Fitzgerald’s ‘Tender Is the Night’ as slowly as possible. In fact, I would pay vast sums for anyone to teach me to read the books I love at a snail’s pace” #ReubenReuben #quotes
