The place is Birkdale during the British Open Golf, and a case of mistaken identity back in the late 1980’s, as related to me many years later by a friend

 

Seve, he’s my favourite golfer

I recognise him from TV

Look, it must be him

 

He’s going into that supermarket

Let’s follow to be sure

For certain, it must be him

 

Be discrete, play it cool

Keep our distance

I am sure, it must be him

 

Look he’s at the till now

Talking to the checkout woman

…Oh, it isn’t him
