When I was living in Jersey in the early 90s I came home for the weekend. Couldn’t get a direct flight back and had to go via Guernsey. Sitting at the departure gate reading the News of the World a guy comes up behind me and asks if he could have a look. Turned round it was Alex Higgins - and he was on the front page!
I showed him the paper and he said “Oh don’t worry, I know what it’ll say about me” and walked off.
On the flight he was great, chatted to people and walked up and down the plane giving out bags of sweets. Turns out he was off to Ollie Reed’s for a break.
Also once got on a flight to Barcelona with Gary Lineker. He was an arrogant cock.
