Was on his 40th (coach to Villa in the 90s) from the Kenilworth, went in and asked for a pint at 9am and he says to me "who the f..k are you?'" so not a good start.
8 hours later Im stood next to him as he gets nicked for being drunk.Coach delayed waiting for him and a few others outside Witton cop shop.
Then on my own birthday in 2006 Im on my way to my cousins 50th party and I go in The George in Cheadle and hes happy to see and serve me this time.We listen to City losing at Pompey together on a crackly radio whilst having a few beers.I dont think he knew my name but I knew his.RIP Blue.
