Steve Thompson dining at The Custom House in Penarth, a few tables away from us.

My wife asked him to autograph a paper napkin and he was very happy to. For our boys of course.....

Re: City players you've seen out and about.

Once upon a time, as a kid during the long-ago days of Harold Wilson and Alf Garnett, I was watching a movie at the Old Capitol Theatre, when I heard some rustling in the seats behind me. I turned around and there was Bobby Woodruff seating a couple of kids. He didn't stay with them. Probably just dropping them off while he ran some errand.

That had just reminded me, that I have got Bobby Woodruff’s autograph.
Our junior school had some sporting event at Cyncoed college in the mid seventies. Our football teacher saw him and told us about the Cardiff City footballer “over there” and cajoled us to go over to him and get his autograph, while we had the opportunity.
Unfortunately, as I wasn’t following City back then and I didn’t know who he was, I initially came back with the wrong signature.
I did go back and get the correct one.

The club boardroom doesn’t really classify as ‘out and about’, does it? ;-) Fair play for having actually met Schwinky though.

Robbie James in Bradford

He was playing for CCFC and we had beaten Halifax , chatted to him in the players bar , he invited me back to the hotel he always stayed in when he was playing for Bradford

Arrived and they had the ticker tape out for him , welcomed like a hero

Told me bar was paid for and when I had had enough to ask at reception and they would give me a room

1993 I think 🤔

He was a minor celebrity up there . He loved playing for Cardiff , said it wasxa great way to end his career .

Rest In Peace Robbie James
