From Simon Perrott
James,
whenever I was lined up opposite you I was both pleased and
apprehensive. Apprehensive because I knew that with your superior speed,
stamina and fitness you could shatter my illusions of being reasonably fit and
fast. Pleased because I knew we would have friendly competitive banter and
joking.
When leaving one of my first SB practices you yelled 'See you next
week?'. This simple phrase made a difference as I had been quite depressed
during my first week in Cambridge. I wish I could have done the same for you.
I'll miss you,
Simon
From Stefan Egglestone
I was only lucky enough to play Ultimate with James on Sunday mornings
last year, and never got to know him well, but he was on of those rare
people who had both a great sense of fun on and off the pitch, and also
skill, concentration, speed and a feel for the game whilst
playing. Surely what every Ultimate player aspires to. I'll never forget
trying to mark him one sunny day, losing where he was for just a second
and seeing him 40 metres away in the endzone laying out for a disc. Long
may his memory live on.
