I met Dirk Kuyt when I had some form of executive seating for Liverpool Vs Man Utd. It was on behalf of Carling and for Liverpool supporters, but I went in a Man Utd shirt underneath my suit, and was in a neutral box.
He came out after the match in the lobby and I let him know who I supported, good guy. Very humble and charitable too. I also spoke with Kenny Dalglish back then, along with Ian Rush and Grobberlear who were at the lounge at HT. The former two have a massive passion for their club which is very respectable, although I felt very awkward talking about my hopes for Man Utd that season.
