FORMER Bude player Phil Vickery said England coach Brian Ashton had turned around the side¹s fortunes in the Rugby World Cup. 'He certainly made me very happy to go out and wear that England shirt and credit to him and the coaching team for that. It is just disappointing to get so far and so close and not be able to pick up the trophy. It is a stab in the heart. It bloody hurts. 'I wanted to be remembered as a double World Cup-winning player, but it wasn't to be. I am proud of the players, proud of everyone."
