King Charlie Lister honoured

It was fantastic to hear that the great Charlie Lister was to be awarded the OBE in the New Year Honours List. It's a fantastic achievement and fully deserved as he's been the King of greyhound racing for many years. Charlie actually phoned me the other day to congratulate me on my year and didn't let on on his own wonderful news. He is just a legend and if I can achieve held of what he has I'll be very happy, actually a quarter will do ! This takes the sport to a whole new level.
