With my shakes, I cut a strange figure in the field, as I stand trembling, shuffling from one foot to the other. But that’s the thing with PD. The tremors vanish when you move. A quivering jelly can sometimes execute a spectacular diving catch – as I did in one game to the amazement of my team mates. And myself.
