“In 1976 or 1977, I was on a school trip to Wimbledon. In those days you could get into the grounds on a day ticket and see any of the outside courts and queue for limited viewing on the main courts. Some mates and I decided to wait for the VIPs to get bored and, as they left court, ask for their tickets.
“A scruffy, goofy-looking chap came down the stairs and some people around us started calling out and pushing. In doing so, I was pushed into said scruff to which he said ‘Hello, young man. Would you like my autograph?’
“I replied, ‘No, but can I have your ticket?’
“Which Freddie Mercury duly gave me.” |
