that's pretty cool!
Lovely bloke and used to get out of his Ferrari and put his jacket down for a kick about.
Used to have a white Alsatian called Colin
As well as that Jackie Charlton RIP had an Auntie in the village and knocked on the door for an autograph. All the big lads pegged it leaving me at the door, curtains twitched and out he came.
He put his arm on my shoulder saying I was the brave one, smiling and just being a lovely bloke.
Signed my paper and then pretended to go back inside, then turned around telling all the lads to come over where he signed for everyone.
Came to our school the next day and had a game with us.
Another memorable one, got on well with Andy King and went out to his pub once for a beer with him and loads of ex players.
Once I phoned him, line went dead then I’m speaking to Ossie Ardiles for a few minutes before he grabbed the phone back.
Got to know him, his Wife and Mum really well, a truly lovely guy when you got to know him.
Was getting pissed in his office after the Hartlepool game that got us in the play offs.
Loads of stories to tell.
Still keep in touch with some ex players, club workers and have a real friend currently.
