What team do/did you play for and what position?

In 1984 I became one of the first UK 16 year olds to get a basketball scholarship to go study and play in the USA going on to play for Georgia Tech before returning to top-flight basketball in Europe. I also played in Italy and Spain and then finished my playing career in the UK being voted MVP the season that I took Leicester Riders to both major BBL cup finals winning them both under coach Billy Mims.
