Had a nice chat with him for a while and some pics taken. I told him I was sat right behind Seaman's goal when he scored that FA Cup semi final free kick, but still could not but admire his awesome skill, despite the sinking feeling. Also told him I thought he was the best English player I'd ever remembered seeing play in my lifetime, exciting and very unpredictable, he instantly said in humility, that he thought Bobby Charlton was the best, for him.
