Uwe was in there, and whilst I try to make a point of not going up to famous people if I ever see them out as it's not fair on them and just serves to make you look like a ****, I couldn't resist when on the way for a slash, I saw Uwe stood on his own.
I went straight up to him and said - 'I just want to say that I think that you're brilliant'. And with that I walked off. He did thank me as I was walking away- at least it seemed like he did at the time!
I only remembered it just now and I'm surprised at how unembarrassed I am by it. But let's face it - he is fucking brilliant.
City through and through. Love the guy.
It would have been bad form not to say something to him. A proper modern day City legend, and a top bloke too.
