I remember him being introduced at an AGM when he became a Vice President before he got the top job at the BOE. He stood up with his copy of the Villa v Man U 1971 programme and showed genuine enthusiasm and was very entertaining. Usually the only fun at Villa AGMs was heckling Doug.

That was the time Si Page's dad asked if he had a sense of humour and if so, was he a wit of a banker. As usual with Si's dad there was a momentary pause while the rest of the world caught up with him.
