Nice bloke in football shocker.

David Dein came out to visit my school last year. He does some outreach stuff for free for the FA. He was excellent. Really friendly and engaging.

As he was leaving, he told me to contact him to get some free tickets for when Norwich play Arsenal. We weren't even promoted at that point. Forgot all about it; today I got an e-mail from his PA offering me the tickets. Unfortunately I can't go so had to decline. What a thoroughly decent bloke.

        From what I understand, he has a few season tickets, some of which he clearly donates out. (n/m) (NCFC) - avenging canary, Apr 27, 22:21:25
