Met loads of players over the years (Paul Lake, Patrick Vieira, Tommy Booth and Trevor Sinclair being exceptionally likeable).
Also, I met Khaldoon at Manchester Airport, last January.
I gushed out a "thanks for EVERRRYthinng!!!".
He shook my hand and promised:
"I'll get you a league this year as well!"
And then he said so long, turned around and headed off down the concourse.
I stood there, staring like an eejit as he walked away...
"Call me..." I softly whimpered...
I know know how that blonde kid felt at the end of Shane.
