Just got back from taking my lad to a Uni open day.

Shuffled in late at the back of the lecture theatre but turned around to make sure I wasn't blocking anyone's view and who should be stood directly behind me not three feet away staring through me ??







Possibly one of the most menacing people I've ever come across.

With his wife. A general Faculty of Arts presentation in the main lecture theatre in the medical building.

Bigger than I remember him as a player as well.

A mate of mine (also a Red) showed Keane and his wife round the private school he works at in the North East, just after Keane had gone to Sunderland. Keane said about 3 words the whole time (and he was there for over an hour) and then wrote a letter of complaint because 2 kids had approached him in the corridor and asked for his autograph

I went to meet a friend yesterday at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel where he is staying. Apparently ten minutes before we arrived at the bar, RvP and Schnido were there.
