What happened. Rod Stewart attended a non-league match between Bishop's Stortford and Alvechurch, paying £10 as an over-60s admission. He was there to support his son's friend, Stortford right back Joe Nardelli.
- He chatted with fans, posed for selfies, and shook hands with club owner Steve Smith.
- Alvechurch won 3-0, and their fans sang cheekily in front of Rod.
- Chairman Ian Kettridge said Rod is welcome anytime.
“It was great for Rod to come and watch us. We were just sorry we couldn’t give him a home win!”
— Ian Kettridge
Rod's visit highlights his passion for football at all levels, and he may return to the club.
