as it happens i do know him.
i went to a Boro match with him once, away at Brentford, Pulis was our manager, st pats day 1-1 Traore scored for boro - boro tickets were all sold out, but he had a spare in the brentford side stand, not far from the dug-outs and he asked me if i wanted it.
after the game we were in the pub on the corner (the one along from the away end) went in the back room were the pool table is, and had a couple of beers, talking to boro fans, i knew a couple - big football fan is Mick Lynch, Chelsea is his team, but he goes to watch Brentford mainly as his Boy (whose ticket i got) ) supports them and his girl played for the Brentford womens junior team.
he also knows his music and was at a lot of the very early punk & new wave gigs in london - it was around music/gigs that we first met.
