too young to remember Leighton in his 'prime' - Theo was always a hero til me, til he went to the dark-side.......
Saw Leighton in Cafe Continental when i was 10 and out for my lunch with my ma, so wandered over and got an autograph (though he, probably quite rightly, looked pissed aff at getting interrupted when out with his family).... spurred on by my bravery in approaching him, by the time i had got him to write out an autograph for me, a queue of about 15 other kids had formed!
fair play to him, he signed them all............ though rather grumpily!
