Think I'm with the Bowyer crowd on this one - remember shouting at him something like "Go on Lee son." and then realising that I was actually older than him, and it was ok.
Depressing though isn't it, when that realisation sets in?
I found that the definition of getting old as a player in sport was when people no longer called me "son" and I suddenly heard myself calling younger players "son."
