- Daveeed’s asked if he would like to have Rafa’s life/fame.



Rafa u look good with colors n all white keep up your top form best wishes always happy birthday .bob
Daveed is so quiet/sweet in his presser. I’m sure he’s a great friend to all his fellow spaniards.
Daveed is a lovely man with that deep furry voice. It’s Pico I feel sorry for at the moment. As Rafa’s friend he must know how much it would mean to him to win the title and yet he has to go out there and do everything in his power to stop him achieving it.
I’m all mushy inside seeing & listening to Daveeed, such a seemingly quiet strong self presence.
