Temporary retirement

20th April 2005, 07:32

Hello all,

Ive not posted for a while, basically cause Ive had nothing to say. Unfortunately I now do.

Many of you from the live circuit will know my team mate Wayne. Hes the more out-going member of the team so if you ever think of Spearhead his is probably the face that comes to mind.

As you may or may not know Wayne has been having problems with his back for quite a while so hes recently had a scan to search for the reason. The result of this is that hes to have spinal surgery next month. Obviously this is serious. Even if everything goes well hell be recuperating for two to three months and the potential for problems is frighteningly apparent.

Ive had offers from other friends to accompany me to live events but at the moment that doesnt feel the right thing to do. Therefore Ive decided to withdraw Spearhead from competition for an unspecified period.

We hope to return sometime to live events but in the meantime, all of you, please do all you can to keep the sport strong. After all, we do want something to return to.

Thanks,

Richard
