BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population.

When they were introducing us ... I was standing next to David Cone and David Wells. I told 'em, 'I'm going to slide into second base.' They said, 'No, you're not.' I said, 'Why not?' Then it got to be like they were daring me. You know, I used to be proud when my uniform got dirty. I was a relatively dirty player -- you know what I mean.

There are all kinds of things that you pore back on and think, 'Yeah, that did happen.'
