I remember Killer being stretchered out of the car park to an ambulance and a young fan asked for his autograph. Could not believe it when Derek declined.

John Travolta has stunned people in Norfolk after he shopped at Morrisons and ate at Wetherspoons while filming in the county.
The Hollywood actor spent last week in East Anglia where he posed for selfies and chatted to members of the public after filming scenes for an upcoming project.
The 68-year-old was understood to be staying locally while filming at Raynham Hangar Studios at the old airfield in West Raynham, Norfolk.
On Thursday, Travolta and two friends tucked into burgers and pizza at the JD Wetherspoon pub The Romany Rye in Dereham.
University of East Anglia law student Jamie Salter, 20, talked to the actor at the pub, describing it as "a surreal experience".

Jamie of Beeston, Norfolk, said: "Meeting John Travolta was incredible. Dereham doesn't usually play host to some of the most famous Hollywood stars on the planet.
"I feel extremely lucky to have met him as it certainly wasn't what I expected to experience on a Thursday night out in Dereham.

"I enjoy going to The Romany Rye often and never would have anticipated my night going this way.
"We were sat at another table at the Wetherspoons and a couple of staff members pointed him out. We didn't believe them, but I walked past and got a glimpse of him.
"At first no one was 100% sure if it was really him, nor did anyone else want to go up and find out!

"I went over to his table, excused myself for disturbing them, and asked "is it John?". If the reply of "It certainly is" wasn't enough, the strong American accent further confirmed my suspicions.
"I went on to ask if I could shake his hand and get a picture. He told me how he was over here for a week filming for a Christmas movie at a local airstrip.
"Mr Travolta was happy to speak with me and came across as genuinely happy to speak to his fans although probably relaxing after a day of filming as it was nearly 11pm!"
Gary Middleton, 48, a part-time security guard at the Morrisons store, said Travolta had spent about an hour in the store, happily talking to customers and staff.
He told how he bumped into Travolta near the bread counter, saying: "He looked at me as I passed him and put his hand out to shake mine.
"We exchanged a few words and had a little joke together. I was so lucky to get a picture."
Travolta arrived in Norfolk after appearing on stage at the Oscars in Los Angeles, boogying with Uma Thurman in a recreation of their famous twist scene in the 1994 film, Pulp Fiction.
Comments
Not like any of the fans being critical of him have never slagged him off on here or at a match.
Works both ways
Could not believe it when Derek declined.
Well if John Travolta can do it, so can Mason :-)

Spotted in Morrisons
The star of Grease, Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction was spotted again at 2pm on Saturday buying steak and other groceries with two bodyguards at the Morrisons store in nearby Fakenham.
