On my way out of the country the other day I observed the above Liverpool & Scotland football great Alan Hansen. I was not going to make a gobshite of myself and ask him if I could take his photograph but a divil inside of me spoke up ” can I take your photo” at the same time the other thought was circulating. He said “sure” in that distinctive accent so well known from the BBC, I even complimented him on his youthful looks, then turn on my heel and away I went.
He was able to move around quite freely in the public area without any hassle apart from me and a few other men of my age group around the 40 bracket, who commented something to him. He took it all in his stride, fair play to him. I expect that Dublin airport with the very high number of foreigners both working and travelling is the ideal place to go unnoticed with the obvious exception of tours truly!

Did you get his autograph? Did you ever meet any other famous people on your travels?
No autograph, I didn’t have a bit of paper! His photo was enough. I rarely if ever see anyone famous, Alan Hansen tops the league at the moment!
Shit. I was hoping you’d say your camera was really a machine-gun.
Nah Bock, that would be for Gary Linekar!
