But they realised they couldn't. Their fairaway was slow - it was too slow - and I was unfortunately the chap who had the terrifying vision of seeing a 42 tonne boat coming straight at you and, goodness me, when it hits you it's a pretty hard, solid, collision. The rest is history." 17. CROWD ON DOCKSIDE APPLAUD AS FENTON LEAVES FOR HOSPITAL Initials Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
