If you met a soccer manager....

I've just read in the Grauniad that Woy Hodgson speaks six languages and his favourite author is J P Donleavy.

Underwhelmed. I used to park outside the Southend manager's house when my youngest started piano lessons. He's just a bloke with an interest in dyed blonde women and status cars with personalised plates.

Jealousy will get you nowhere...

I saw him at an airport once and went up and said in Norwegian that I recognised him! He told me he was a football manager.

I then told him I was English and he laughed and gave me a playful punch on the shoulder.

He probably thought I was some kind of twat!

Last year I was at deaths door for a few weeks.
I'm an Evertonian but I like to watch any team that can put on a good display of football.
When I was at my lowest ebb a guy that I've never met happened to mention to Alex Ferguson that I enjoyed watching United and that I was very ill. Without a thought he wrote out a get well note and the note stayed attatched to my bed during my stay in intensive care!
A small gesture perhaps but it meant a lot to me, and my familly.

That's a top story Slowgrind.

It's easy to forget that we only see a very small part of most peoples persona filtered through the optics of the media. How a person behaves when 'at work' or 'on-duty' can be very different to how they are in private.
People that also seem 'nice' in public can be peanuts in private.

This may also be true of forum members!
