Peter Manley was one of the worst. He came across as a right obnoxious bastard. I played in the Budweiser Open a few times and met and played a few top players. Most of them were decent blokes and dead down to earth, including Kevin Painter.
Wes Newton is a smashing guy. He lent me his shoes to play in one match.
The last line reminds me of the Inbetweeners where Simon trades shoes with a tramp.
