Joe Roberts is a fine match angler in his own right, winning some big events on a wide variety of methods and venues, from his local River Nene in Northants, through canals and big rivers. He now devotes much of his time to helping younger anglers via the Tackle Guru Angling Trust Talent Pathway and managing the England junior squads in World Championships. Having helped Dick Clegg OBE with the initial ‘Masters’ World Champs, Joe qualified the following year for the Veterans team and brought back an individual and team gold medal. Several more have followed in a glittering career and, to be honest, it couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.
