eBay item number: 202363994799

.....oh, and last week me and HI said hallo to Jackie Charlton. He was at the next table to us having lunch at Dobbie's Garden Centre Café.....very nice man........

My brother-in-law once played a round of golf with Alan Shearer.............

Taken at a Citroën rally in France, if that helps...............
