From the papers
The Independent
27 July 1992
I believed all day I would win and then it all turned around. It's very weird. It still hasn't sunk in. It was the most unusual victory I've ever had, that's for sure.
The Independent
27 July 1992
I'm absolutely sick. It was an innocent mistake. Unfortunately I'm no Percy Thrower. I don't know anything about bushes.
