Met him at the Tebay services on the M6 on our way back from the lakes. We were stood together queuing for coffees.
Told him I was a Middlesbrough fan and he was happy talking football with me for 2-3 minutes. He said we are playing some fantastic football under Carrick, and is clearly showing an interest in the club. With the Carrick connection obviously.
He said Carrick will be a "top, top" manager and that he really hopes we get promotion. I asked him if he talks with Carrick and he smiled slightly and said "yea, from time to time".
I always thought he would be something of a miserable and unapproachable guy but it was quite the opposite. His passion for football was clear.
Sincere apologies for the selfie. Posted for proof.
