I met Craig at Clayworth Primary School. He was clever, funny and generous, an enthusiastic rather than talented footballer; some things never change. I looked up to him then, mainly because he was older, taller and smarter. I only caught him up in height. I owe him for many things and two stand out, the hangover I had on my wedding day and also the funny, brilliant best man speech he gave that day. He was always a great friend, always full of banter and will always be missed by all those who were lucky enough to have known him.
