    Worryingly, AP's a diabetic, though it sounds like he's on the mend.

    Get well soon.

    Of course the older the boomer the better. 1950 was the cream of the crop year.

    What Adam Pearson did was take a rotting carcass of a club and restore it to a decent level.

    He did this by total engagement with all stakeholders and concentrating full-time on resurrecting the club's fortunes. A radio station, proper online presence, the City mag, U21 international games, rock concerts- the list is a long one.

    He opened up the channels of dialogue with disgruntled fans, dealt with every minor grumble to the point not one single moaner was left and no more issues with plastic pie forks were unresolved.

    He demonstrated how to be a football club chairman and how to build up support. He waw everything the Allams are not. Seems almost heresy to mention them in the same post.

    Especially for those born on the anniversary of D-Day. Were they the ultra cream?

    If his backers wanted it enough, that could easily be sorted.

    I was once sharing a sauna with Sir Adam in Leeds's Turkish Quarter, and as we sat there discussing the merits of obscure post punk electronica bands, a stunning beauty with hair like silken flax wandered in, derobed and proceeded to sit down and start sweating it out with the rest of us. Adam calmly rose to his feet, moved toward her, whispered something in her ear and no word of a lie, she came right there on the spot. No fingers or tops or anything.

    He wandered back to sit next to me, and I asked him what he said to her to provoke such a reaction.

    His reply? "Trade secret, Tony old son. Doesn't always work though, last time out they had to shut the jacuzzi to deep clean it. Nasty old business. Gotta choose your targets carefully".

    He then stood up, broke wind and walked out.

    Smooth bastard.

    Was the trade secret was 'are you a black and white or red and white' ?
