Steph asked what Tony is most looking forward to ahead of turning 80. He said: “I’m looking forward to working.

“I love working. My grandad used to say, ‘you retire, you die’ and I just said I’m not going to die. I’m going to carry on and carry on… I feel good. I can carry on forever, that’s how I feel.”
