A few seasons ago, my retired father took himself off to an away game down South (Yeovil I think) on his own. He checked himself into a travel lodge somewhere, for the friday night, and popped into the pub for some grub. There was Mr Dickov and his entire coaching staff (before they got taken off him) talking tactics over a drink before bedtime. The players were already tucked up in bed.
My dad said hello and introduced himself as a Latics fan. Paul bought him a pint and invited him to sit with them.
Not wanting to get in the way, my Dad had a quick drink with them then sat at a different table to order food. When he eventually left the pub he found that his food bill had been paid.
Top bloke.
