I've met him twice on 2 separate occasions, and he was abs brilliant with my young son.

In fact my son spent 2 whole days with him training and loved every minute, plus he sat down and chatted with us with no sign of being ignorant. The 2nd time he made a point of coming to me and shaking hands because he recognised me!!
