Club cat Wimblydon doesn’t know the meaning of a day off. “It’s 365, 24/7,” he said in an exclusive interview for this month’s Paws and Rewind magazine. “Mice don’t know a day off from a piece of cheese. It’s infuriating.”
Honestly, he’s gone so big time of late.
One place there was plenty of activity was the medical department where physios Paul Webster (far left) and Rob Sadler were tending the walking wounded. In for treatment today were Abdul Razak, Tom Smith and Ahmad Benali - and no, Rob isn’t nail-varnishing Ahmad’s toenails.
