Got chatting to Uri Geller in the Grand Theatre, Swansea the year we we were fighting to stay in the league.
A few months later we were playing Exeter ( a few matches before the famous Hull match).
Uri had given us his telephone number and and we met up with him during the half time interval and again after the game.
He had his vehicle parked in the old Initial Towels car park in Glamorgan Street.
Uri was a true gentleman and it was a real privilege to meet him.

Uri was a big fan of Exeter City and I believe he was a board member at the time.

Didn’t he bring Michael Jackson to one of their games?

Very bizarre man but probably the greatest professional charlatan of the 20th century, has done remarkably well for himself. Remember him on TV/AM claiming credit for Gary Mccalisters missed penalty in Euro 96 saying it was him who made the ball move as he was striking it with the power of his mind.

He certainly did. After Lewis was booted out at Swansea and went to Exeter.

A few details to flesh out the Exeter aspect of the story here. Geller's son Daniel was a long-term fan, I think from when he attended the nearby (private) Blundell's School, Tiverton,
