Jamie comments on the Squash World, yesterday & today
Jamie Maddox created a simple facebook page a few years ago, in 2010, where he intended to exchange a few memories/thoughts with friends of his.
But from 2017 the page grew in popularity, and has since become a phenomena, with nearly 16,000 readers and lots of daily posts.
If you don’t know Squash Stories, have a look…
Here are some of his ramblings, memories, thoughts, rants. Enjoy, we certainly do…
