Lets be right about this, VanVeen became a lot more hard working and less sulky under Hurst, I always believe Hurst laid it on the line to VanVeen about what he wanted from him but fair play to the player for responding, maybe he realised he had to finally pull his finger out and graft and not rely on the bit of magic he sometimes produced that had his admirers salivating. Fair play to both parties for doing the right thing all round.
