It looks to me like it was hacked back a few years ago to the thick
branches. The hacked ends then sprouted lots of water shoots, and you
have lots of thin branches going everywhere.

That's what I thought Martin. I would have gone for taking those water
shoots back within one or two buds of the main frame, then take out
crossing and weak or diseased growth. (Only that way round because
getting rid of the water )
All the 'wobbly, knobbly ' twigs I would have pruned back to again, two
shoots on growth from the original prunings.

Still I probably am not giving good advice here so I'd better listen to
the experienced fruit pruners!
