Stan Flashman--comes to mind :)

When the " spare " tickets have gone ( made available to people to sending promised money ) - I think we are now down to 6 - even if he was alive today , I sincerely doubt of him deliving " goods " to his motto of " You wanna ticket for Wimbledon , Wembley or a royal wedding ? Fat Stan's your man " would not be kept in respect of tickets for The Torch Reunion ......
