COE DASH TO AID OLD TRAFFORD

ANY excuse to retell a great yarn about Chelsea fan Sebastian Newbold Coe going to collect his tickets for a match at Stamford Bridge.

- 

“I'm sorry, sir, you need to go to the other side of the stadium for match-day collections.”

The noble Lord replies: “And how long will it take to me get round there?”

To which the Chelsea employee replies: “Oh, about 10 minutes.”

Coe is indignant: “Ten minutes? Ten minutes? Do you know who I am? I'm Sebastian Coe, double Olympic champion.”
