There is a little excitement in the office today as Spurs and Argentina legend Ricky Villa pops in to sign some copies of his autobiography in our warehouse. It's undoubtedly one of the least glamorous places he's ever set foot - but the fact that our office is based in Wood Green ensures that we have tons of Tottenham fans in and around the place, all of whom rush down to where he's signing (donning high-vis jackets for the trip, naturally) to get their copies signed. I'm initially reluctant to bother - very much not being a Spurs fan - but eventually reason that it'd be silly to miss the opportunity to say hello to a successful international footballer.
It's not every day you get to meet someone who was in the 1978 World Cup winning Argentina squad, nor someone who has scored a famous winning goal in the FA Cup Final. I venture down to the warehouse and shake the old man's hand, also making sure to get a photo for the work Twitter account. His English isn't great (which is handy as I can't really think of much to say to him at the time) so I shuffle off to leave him to his tireless scribbling in book covers.
