[LNB]"I have had a lot of little problems and then the big problem with the knee last year, but now I am fit and can hopefully stay fit.[LNB]"I knew that I had to have that operation on my knee and I knew that it was going to take a lot of time. I wanted to come back and come back stronger, sometimes it takes a long time."
