I would love to see Sean make a bit of progress he is the closest thing to Deano since Deano progressing from a JCH of 1200 into the senior top 100. Although Sean has never had a junior rank at all!
If Sean could scrape into the top 100, and spend most of his career happily in the top 200, I think he'd be extremely happy
Yes, like you, lots of respect for those who decide to basically ignore juniors and do it their way. Tiran Sanghera and Ola Pitak are two other players who spring to mind.
