You know you’re obsessed with Marto when you have over twenty video tapes of his innings (these also include news report and even…um…the odd tv commercial) and over 20 cassette tapes of cricket commentary you taped off the radio and you have listened to them so much the tapes are starting to wear thin and when one recorder did chew up the cassette you frantically unscrewed it, laboriously threaded it back on and breathed a huuuuge sigh of relief that it was still working. In fact some cassettes you’ve listened to so much you know exactly what Tim Lane’s going to say next and what Barry Richards will say after that. Added to this you collect all newspaper clippings with any reference to marto so you have scrap book upon scrap book of marto articles. You also always used to Google news search him so you have hundreds of computer files containing online marto articles from overseas newspapers, websites etc. Marto’s retired now. He’s no longer in the news. I’m in a better place
(Should I have just admitted all that???)
