Celebrities at The Cottage + other notes

A few final thoughts from yesterday...

Never say that we don't attract A-listers to The Cottage. Did anyone else spot Patrick Mower (aka Rodney Blackstock) going back into the ground after the match yesterday? Those of you typing his name into Google now are clearly not fans of the TV soaps, so i'll put you out of your misery...he is in Emmerdale.

Overheard as Niemi was signing autographs: "Don't give him your pen, he'll probably drop it."

Mike Riley is human! After years of hurling abuse at that particular man in black I spoke to him briefly (and, er, had my picture taken with him as well) outside and he was a really smashing fella. Was signing lots of autographs for the youngsters too.

Amusing to see Chimbonda sitting in the driver's seat of the coach signing autographs and chatting to fans for the best part of half an hour.

Patrick Mower was also the 70's detective Hazel (I named my Hamster after him!). Was he supporting Fulham or Spurs? I may have to add him to my "Famous Fulham Fans" list.

You're showing your age Chopper...although i think we're probably around the same one! Sadly didn't get a chance to speak to him to find out either way...will try and find out
