"And I ended up playing tennis at 10-11 at night against two Americans and Bobby Robson found us, caught us and went off it.

"So I ran to my room and I wouldn't open the door and then eventually a letter came through from underneath the door in the morning saying 'I've already called you daft as a brush."

Fans have been bemused that he appeared from the town.
