Bobby Robson. (Pee’d next to....one of the biggest honours of my life!).
I also had the dubious honour of nearly running him over whilst I was on my moped going to school in 1983 before World Cup in Mexico. He was crossing the road going to Ipswich train station and stepped out in front of me! The following year, I was at boarding school just down from his house in Ipswich and we often had to dodge the paps/reporters whilst they tried to harass him. He also sent me and Lady HB a congrats card that was read out on our wedding day in 2002 (as arranged by my late best man who was treated for cancer by the same consultant who looked after Sir Bobby). He was a genuinely lovely, humble man and we were in floods of tears at the first footy match at Portman Road after he died (likewise when he was on SPOTY).
But I digress....sorry Kev
