So it's 2009.
We're in Buenos Aires.
Diego Maradona is saying, can't see you tonight.
So what do you do?
You go out into the...
Palermo in Argentina, and you have a few beers.
Midnight, you get a call that Diego will see you now.
Nice.
You have to drop everything, including your pint, rush back to the hotel, grab the stuff, drive across town, and go to his mom's house because they've just finished watching their telenovela, and it's now over.
You go into this little house, and Diego is in the back room, and he goes through one of those beaded curtains, and he sort of emerges.
This is about quarter to one, and he's got a big smile on his face, and yeah, he sits down and starts signing everything.
Absolute pleasure.
Thanks, fellas, and enjoy the World Cup.
It's going to be iconic.
I mean, we chase footballers all over the globe.
So it's a great job to have.
