Met Dennis in Blackpool years ago now. I whispered in my son'r ear, "That's Dennis Law that is, he used to play for City, go and ask him for his autograph". This "absolute gentleman" then told my son to "F*ck off!" just because when my six year old asked for his autograph he said "Did you used play for City?" and he obviously took exception to this. When I and a family friend went over to "explain" to him that we didn't appreciate his manners he shit himself, was full of apologies and gave the autograph, which I then ripped up in front of him.
Absolute Gentleman? Absolute C*nt in my books mate!

Strange.
I've encountered him loads of times, as have members of my family, friends, acquaintances etc & he's never come across as anything less than courtious, good humoured & a general 'salt of the Earth' type bloke, be they reds, blues or neither. That is also the opinion I've had from anyone else I've ever met who has been fortunate enough to cross paths with him.
You must have been very very unlucky.

That might well be the case, I AM generally unlucky ... but I base my opinions on MY experiences and not on what people tell me, so my opinion still stands. I've got no time for this ex-hero of mine any more, which is kinda sad really don't you think?
