On the way:
Tall, he stands at the door of the train, standing aside politely for the flurries of hurried commuters to blow in before before it pulls away. That's the stiffest kind of breeze that can be expected on a sunny morning like this.
His tight curls are thinning on top, his nose is delicately boned, finishing in a beginners' slope ski jump, eyes gently hooded, his stubble immaculately cropped.
His is a simple elegance, something of the Thierry Henry about him, in his day a classy ambassador for a classy football club, as he carefully folds down his blue and white checked cotton shirtsleeves. His dark blue jeans are pressed and hang neatly down long legs.
His cuffs secured with their white buttons, he pulls on his navy blue cap with its red band at the back - oh, and there's a coincidence, the word Arsenal is printed above its peak.
He turns out towards the clear blue sky, it's a good day to be alive.
And spits onto the platform.
