Meeting Sir Les

Hello, I'm Ivan, I say to this big guy in a suit sitting at a quiet corner at the Sports Bar of Devils Bar.

"How are you, he says. "I'm Les."

Well, if it isn't Sir Les! He isn't actually a knight, but he was one big warrior on the field for England, Newcastle and Spurs until a couple of years back.

"I'm still very much involved in football," says Les, who is here for a short stint as a football commentator for ESPN StarSports.

"I would still like to be part of the game, maybe to go on to be a coach ofa team," he adds.

Just then he gets the attention of several foreigners. I find out in a while that they're from England.

"He was a great player for England and Newcastle," says Mark, who says he isn't from Newcastle but supports the team.

"England would have won in Euro '96 had he played." "

Tell me Les," asks one of the lads. "Arsene Wenger or Alex Ferguson?"

"Wenger," says Les after some persuasion.

That's me with Andy Tait of ESPN, Dennis Foo, the big boss of Devils Bar and Les Ferdinand, former Newcastle United and England player.
