Seve Ballesteros

[Leo No.8]

Really want to catch the upcoming Peter Alliss interview with Seve for BBC Inside Sport, to see how he is getting on with his recovery after the brain tumour. Loved what he said about what had happened to him in the bit on the BBC:

 

Reflecting on his recovery, Ballesteros says: "Patience has never been my strongest point and to spend 22 days in intensive care and 72 days in one room you need tremendous patience. There were times when it was tough.

 

But he adds: "I've had a very good life. I'm sure that some people will feel sorry for me or maybe cry when they see this programme.

 

"But I feel very happy and a very lucky person because throughout my life I have had so many great moments and I feel that I live two or three more lives than the average person.

 

"This thing that happened to me is a very little thing compared to other people who have tougher times.

 

"They didn't have the opportunity to live life so intensely and as well as I did."

 

A fantastic character Seve, one of my favourite of any sport.
