After the game I had some shop returns. I brought them down to my usual after-match selling place together with some of the last issue which I had left over. I sold them and apologised to two people who came up to me just after. I assume one of them was you.

Bye everybody, I had a great 24 years serving you all.

I'll never bump into you again. No more going to the Ads after a game or having you denying me three times before a game because you had no fucking clue who I was...no, I won't let it go...

Anyway, time to man up, grow a pair and accept it. Hopefully see a few of you tomorrow.

Didn't even stick around long enough to see his regulars.

I guess he Leeg too tired and emotional after selling his last copy.

It was a pleasure to meet Legion for the first time today, and knowing he's going to miss his job as a fanzine seller, I thought I'd give him one last chance to utter a stock phrase.

As I approached and was within earshot, I turned round to my boy and said "Wait here, Daddy's just going to get a programme".

Folks don't take kindly to folks who turn up late and don't take kindly to folks who give it legs round here.

Nice to meet you, LeeB.

We sold out of the latest issue well before kick-off and only had back-issues left.

Thank you to everyone who has made the last few years such an enjoyable experience.

Aye, I was only a part-timer but it was a pleasure (even in the inevitable rain) to flog such an esteemed organ to the masses.

I'll subscribe to the on line version though, if only so I can slag off Stu Griffin for his rubbish articles.

Three times? Really sorry,  your visits were too few and far between for my fading memory I'm afraid. But you only had to say!

Anyway, had a great time at the Ads, all the best mate.

Haven't seen him yet Fred but thanks. Kind regards to you and your lovely wife Elaine, or Dr Who and Rose as I often referred to you.... Or Amy Winehouse and Blake...

Thanks. Steve, it was a pleasure. I've always said that the fanzine-buying Villa public are lovely, pleasant, well -mannered people. Pure class, like their club.

Really pleased that my final ever sale went to CT (Lee) of this parish.
