Last night, his tales took a Royal theme as he told his new friends about the time he didn't recognise Prince Harry while waiting for a physiotherapy session.

He said: "I go in there, I'm sitting there, I pick up the Evening Standard, and there's two fellas stretching, one's got a baseball cap on.

"Suddenly one of the guys says 'Hi Harry', I look up and go 'alright mate' and carried on reading the paper.

"I thought I know him from somewhere that geezer, did he used to play for me? I'm thinking who is he? Then suddenly come to me."

After checking with the receptionist that it was who he thought it was, he said: "It was Prince Harry.

"And I've mated him, I've gone 'alright mate' and carried on reading the paper."

It wasn't his only Royal story of the day, as he recalled a time he went for dinner with his son Jamie.

He said: "I walked in, and there's a girl sitting there with a fella.

"They stand up and we all say hello but I miss her name, so I sit down facing this young girl and we start chatting."

Talk soon turned to horse racing and Harry told the lady his nan had been a street bookmaker when he was a child.

"I'm telling this girl the story and she's laughing and said 'My grandmother loves horse racing', I said 'Really?' she said 'Yeah, last year when she won the Gold Cup at Ascot'.
