Now retired, he lives near his favourite city Chester with his wife Linda Fraser-Webb and now only goes to sea as a passenger.

Nice socks, but they are way too small. Says they fit size 6 - 10. I kept 3 ( I wear size 8) and gave 3 to my daughter (size 8.5). We both agreed that they were just too small.
