Indeed.
I met various players as a star stuck kid in the 70's and my eyes were opened.

Somebody wrote to City and told them that my Dad was ill a few years ago.
Next thing you know, he receives a get well card from Kevin Keegan.
My Dad died a few days later.

Colin Bell used to be very shy and nervous with the fans back in the dayAll down to luck is it not.Sergio may have stopped 2 days hard running because he wasn't in a rush.
Then again maybe not.
As folk have said some are comfortable with the fans,some are not.

When I was growing up we had a couple of city players living in our street.
A pretty average road and the players just acted like normal people, which they were.
This clock will never turn back

About twenty five years ago I went to Old Trafford midweek to visit the ticket office to buy a couple of tickets for an upcoming City derby game at the swamp.
There were a few schoolkids milling about on the carpark, when Bobby Charlton turned up in his BMW and parked up.
Within a few seconds his car was surrounded by kids wanting his autograph, there must have been twenty or thirty, so many he could not open his car door....
This was around twenty years after he retired from playing....the point is, imagine having to put up with that every day of your life any time you went anywhere.
So don't be too surprised if sometimes your favourite player doesn't stop to talk or sign an autograph book.
