    I have heard of Andy Gray and Ally McCoist (they are old footballers) my dad and brother used to talk about them. Was that at a football match?

    Ann he decorated Bobby Robson's (former England football team manager) house and met him too. Dad says Bobby R was a really nice guy. I am not sure if dad met him. He did see him play i think.

    Have you ever met any criminals?

    I only know things from years ago. Was Andy Gray an expensive player, Did he play for a Midlands team? it rings a bell. Dad and Brother were football nutters and still are. A peculiar male affliction this football lark, we are fortunate ladies we have proper fun.
