If there's anyone who deserves an easy ride into retirement, it's Albert. Not only is it befitting of his easy-going character, but he has been (and still is) a great servant of the game. Cheers Albert - we'll miss you! BTW Rob - thanks for the nifty edit thingy. Just used it to edit this post and ad the thanks. To quote the song: “It’s easy when you’re big in Japan”.
