I met Roy Keane, Brian Kidd & Brian McClair at a store opening once about 10 years ago. Got their autographs, too.
That's it, really.

Dude is considered reclusive. Very cool. What town?
Northampton. He has pretty much lived here his entire life. One of his novels is based on the town. The inside jacket of my LoEG says:
Dear Warren,
Happy Birthday,
Alan Moore
The factory that Kinky Boots was filmed at was on St. Michaels Road, I think. It was about 30 seconds from where I used to live.
