Roy understands that sport is about feelings. It’s about places, sounds, smells, times of the year, the angle of the sun, and people. It’s about tradition and lineage, about precious things being handed down to you, and you minding them and handing them on, still precious. Few who are in positions of power in sporting organisations now understand that.
