I'd like to acknowledge my wife, Silvia, who is the bedrock of our family. She saw something in me 20-odd years ago, when I had nothing to my name, and she has stuck by me through thick and thin since. She's an incredible woman and I'm very lucky to have her by my side. Her parents will be watching this speech on the internet from Germany, and I want to say thank you to them as well for all their support over the years.
