Not a footballing moment, but to do with football:
My mother took me to "The Teens and Twenties" exhibition in Deansgate, 63 I think it was. The Lawman and King himself was going to be there promoting his book "Living for Kicks". Remember standing in the queue trying to think of something I could say when my turn came. I was 11-12 yrs old. He was sat behind a desk holding a pen in his hand when I asked him who we were playing at the weekend. Remember him saying Notts Forest in the most Scottish accent I'd ever heard. I told him I played for the school team and our next match was against Ardwick Tech. He asked me my name and wrote at the back of the book best wishes and signed it. Lent that book to a schoolmate years ago and never got it back.
