"I seem to have met quite a few dangerous people in my time, in one way or another, and one sticks in my mind: a dear, old friend named Keith Moon, drummer for The Who. And I first met Keith at a ... charity soccer match in which Monty Python was playing the rest of the world, and Keith was playing for the rest of the world. And I was rather annoyed at the way that the players in this charity match were taking the game rather too seriously. And I come along dressed as the colonel figure from the series, and just generally strolled around making a nuisance of myself: ordering people about, standing in the goal … and that kind of thing. And Keith must have felt similarly bored with the way things were going that afternoon, ... [for he] left the field himself and drove back on in someone's car, and scored several goals before anyone could catch him. That cemented the relationship between us, I think, and the two of us went off to the bar afterwards and drank very, very, very, very, very, very, very many drinks, and I taught him there a game which I'd like to show this evening because I'm trying to popularise it around the world."
