Countdown/Scrabble Champion
A very impressive story from today, Lewis Hamilton is not the only British World champion today.........
Series 57 champion Craig Beevers became only the second Briton after Mark Nyman in 1993, to win the World Scrabble Championships. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-30168522
Well done to him.

I don't think you could point to a patch of games and say he was particularly exceptional there. He had two virtual walkovers against weak performances.

Someone should write a program to generate WSC newspaper articles; I love how they're almost identical every year.

Much as I keep a mental index of what's been said here, you're being a bit hard on us for not spotting that it was something Craig said six years ago.
