Last night I started reading (or, listening to the audiobook of) Christopher Eccleston's memoir "I Love the Bones of You" - there's lots of detail in the early pages about being shaped by Salford, which then morphs into a few encounters in later life with some of his Mancunian heroes, including Paul Scholes and Morrissey. Eccleston relates chatting to a producer in a cafe when they see Morrissey on Deansgate. Eccleston is encouraged to go and talk to him:

I got on my bike and followed him. He'd just walked up to Waterstones.

"Excuse me, Morrissey."

"Oh, hello." [In the audiobook, Eccleston does a wonderful Morrissey voice.]

"My name's Chris Eccleston."

"Yes, I know."

"Oh, right...I just want to say thank you." I stuck my hand out. He shook it.

"No, no," he said. "Thank you." And walked off.

I'm fairly sure it was a more remarkable experience for me than it was for him, and the reverse anecdote doesn't appear in his own autobiography. But the significance of Morrissey knowing who I am will never be lost on me.
