I think I have told the story before. The wife was very proud one Christmas a few years back, before I started writing for the fanzine.
She had purchased me a copy of Dave's book on Villa managers. The bit she thought was immensely exciting however was that she had a signed copy.
She was probably expecting me to gush in excitement when she pointed out the scribble inside the front cover on Christmas morning.
My response: "I am having a pint with him after the game".
Also, on the famous front. Blackburn away league cup semi.
In a pub before the game and met Guy Manners who used to post round here. I think I was selling him a spare ticket.
After the formalities I mentioned my real name rather than user name.
He took a back step and said "I didn't know you were THE Stuart".
My only moment as a -Z list celeb and it made me very uncomfortable.
