About 10 years ago, I was travelling by rail back to Glasgow (where I was staying) from Edinburgh after visiting a friend. As my friend is Scottish, we had spent a good part of the day in the pub!!! I was meant to travel in Economy class but because of my alcohol-induced courage, I decided to be mischievous and I snuck into Business class. A little while into the journey, we noticed a familiar face walk past to go to the toilet. It was one of the players from the Newcastle United soccer team. Curious, I walked up to the next carriage and much to my surprise, the whole of the Newcastle United team were on board. Alan Shearer was captain of the team at the time and I thought he was a real spunk. I plonked myself down along side him and struck up a conversation. He was there drinking wine with John Barnes and they offered me a glass. I couldn't say no. The team were on their way to watch a Glasgow Rangers and Celtic match. After a little while, I decided I had better leave them alone and went back to my carriage. I was lucky not to get caught out by the conductor because when he came around to check tickets, I was sitting with Alan Shearer. The conductor seemed a little intimidated and didn't bother checking my ticket. That day was lots of fun and one I will never forget. I even have the photos to prove it.
