I was there at the Derby match at Goodison (I think?) when he was given a handbag by one of our fans - said 'thank you' and put it behind the goal, great bloke! :)

Remember being in the boys pen when someone ran out of the Kop and presented him with a handbag. Funny as fuck but he took it in good spirit. RIP
