In the 1970's our goalie was Kevin Keelan. He was infamous for hating to sign autographs and would invariably arrive two hours early on match days to avoid the fans! My mates cottoned on to this and would catch the 10.30 train just for the opportunity to get his autograph, even if it meant hanging around in Norwich waiting hours for the 3pm KO.
Even then, I thought they were nuts!
If you're a footballer, entertain me on the pitch,
If you're an actor/actress, give me a great performance,
If you're a poet, write some fantastic poems,
If you're a musician, show me now well you can play,
Other than that (and please don't take any offence) don't expect me to take any interest in you or your life - I've quite literally got better things to do with my time! (cycling for instance
).
