That man at Caesars was its president Bill Weinberger. Morris took Bill to a Spurs game back in the seventies and he loved it. Morris also kept Frank Sinatra informed on how "the Spurs" were doing when he'd occasionally meet him during summer trips to Caesars. Sadly, we weren't doing too well at the time. It was the year we were relegated to the Second Division (1977). I doubt many Spurs fans realise that Frank Sinatra took an interest in Tottenham Hotspur! Morris sends his best wishes to you.

Morris made me a Spurs fan at the age of 12 (i'm now 73) taking me regularly to games and eventually I got to know the team of the 60's,Terry and Joyce Medwin being the first couple I met(nicest people you could ever know). In later years I told Morris I was going to Las Vegas, he told me the name of the manager of Caesars Palace and to mention that I was his cousin, I was given the royal treatment. Morris would go out of his way to do a favor for anyone, a genuine soccer fan and person. I am Morris Keston’s cousin now living in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I'd better explain that Morris didn't just socialise with footballers, but also with top sportsmen like Stirling Moss and Sugar Ray Robinson. There's a chapter in the book called 'The King Of Vegas', which tells how a chance meeting Morris had with a man at Caesars Palace opened doors to a world of Hollywood Royalty and personalities like Frank Sinatra and Shirley MacLaine.
