Hello to all the people of Manchester.

It has been a long while since I have been in touch. Let me start off by saying that I miss Manchester a lot and only wish that we could all come back for another run at all the trophies! Things for me are well as I am in Australia playing for the Melbourne Tigers along side Andrew Gaze. It is a nice city and everyone has made me feel very welcome. Being here really reminds me a lot of Manchester.

My summer was pleasant after having one of the greatest season's of my career. I think teams like last season's Giants only come along every so often. It was a special thing to be apart of that team and organisation. I never got the chance to thank the fans so I will do it now. You all made it worth while for everyone of us and you deserved all the glory just like us! I hope that the up and coming season is a successful one.

Don't give Nick Nurse too hard of a time on his return!

I have recently heard that the Giants have signed a very good friend of mine by the name of Wayman Strickland. He is a very good player who should really help the club in a lot of different ways. A good leader and solid point guard with experience. I only ask that you please make him feel welcome as you did me. People often mistake us as brother's, I think I am better looking though! Take care and good luck on the season!
