Seeing Ivan's name in Ron's latest thread jogged my memory of one of the few occasions I was lucky enough to meet him.
It was at a game fair near Mansfield and I was helping out my mate with the AW gaily painted bus exhibition unit. Ivan was on the next stand and during the show a young lad in a wheelchair was struggling to get to Ivan's stand. I went and had a word with the lad and found out he was a fan of Ivan's, so I put the lad on the AW area and went looking for Ivan. When I found him I explained the situation to him and he immediately excused himself from the crowds and went across to the AW stand and spent probably an hour chatting to this youngster.
After that Ivan was a hero in my eyes as well as that young lad's.
