Ray Wilkins
Ray was introduced to me by a supplier to Asda,Paul Mahoney, I was invited to meet during games at Manchester United, at this time Ray was the capatin of United and England. After a few meetings I signed Ray up to help me promote sport within Asda stores. Ray did everything asked of him including store visits and even brought along Steve Coppell. Ray would get me family tickets so I could use the players lounge on match days. I also made friends with Steve Coppells Dad as we sat together and chattered in the bar. One day we needed to do some photography for packaging at United's Old Trafford, my friend from Brighouse, Bill Lyle was a Utd fan so I invited him to join me. Bill was like a little boy when we were greeted by Sir Matt Busby who personally welcome us to the club. We went on to the pitch to knock up a few balls to Ray for the photography session before meeting some of the players in the dressing room. The success of the footballs and soccer kits at Asda led me to also sign Mike Channon, nice guy, he was at Manchester City at the time but not happy with how he was asked to play, wide on the left, when Channon was a roamer and goal sniffer. |
