Yes he was fantastic with my six year old and held him up up for a photo and had achat with us for a bit :ayatollah:

This was after training that we approached him.

He came in to my workplace to buy some duvets & sheets a few days before the first game againt West Ham, told me that the Missus had sent him out on the rounds to do some shopping for home furnishings! But I asked if the squad were tip top condition and had been put through their paces, and he said they certainly had worked awful hard out in the Spanish camp.
But he had an aura about him, very polite. I would guess if he held you in his arms, you would feel safe and warm! :lol:

I spent the evening sat next to hil at a LMA dinner! Up there with the nicest blokes I've met in football. Was happy to answer all questions and was even asking about everyone else on the table. Everyone has an off day so if he was a abrubt maybe he was in a rush. Give him the benefit of the doubt as from my experience he was a credit to football!

I met him at a youth academy night and he was superb. Really appreciative of the fans but also very accommodating himself. Great guy. :ayatollah:

Can I just say I met him after the game last year, and Im an autograph collector! :D He was a legend. Posed for photos, and would sign as much as possible, this being past ten, a raint night, and they'd just lost 4-2.
So I'm sorry, from my experience.. he was a gentleman! :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

He was very rude when i asked him to sign a shirt. He did it but huffed and puffed, wasn't too impressed tbh. But as long as he takes us up this season eh :ayatollah:

To be honest, Malky can take my City shirt and wipe his arse with it for all I care, as long as he takes us up. But seriously, I met Malky down the Non-Pol in Rhydfelen at his question and answer session before the season started. I bought him a pint of shandy, he shook my hand and we had a chat. He comes across a lovely, genuine guy who will do anything for anyone. Maybe you just happened to catch him on a bad day, I'm sure if you meet him again you will see what a top bloke he really is.
