HER STATEMENT

Anyway, here it is:

"He is old enough to be my grandad. The whole thing left me confused and physically sick."

"I was smartly dressed in a charcoal pinstripe trouser suit, not club wear, certainly nothing revealing. I just wanted to have a few drinks with friends."

"When we got to the jazz club at about 11.20 it was quite quiet, 20 or 30 people. There was a band playing and we went and stood at the bar.

"We were greeted by Dimitri Jegels, who co-owns the club and is a friend of Brian (her four times married boyfriend). I chatted with Dimitri about some problems I was having with Brian. He was very sympathetic.

"Dimitri was chatting to Randall and must have told him about Alex Ferguson being there. It didn't bother me that he was there, I didn't know him. But Randall was quite excited and went over to his table to get his autograph for his six-year-old son.

"When I went over there, Alex Ferguson was sitting on an oblong table with about six others, all men. They were all casually dressed. I asked him to sign his autograph again and spelt out the name of Randall's son. He was fine about it and just smiled. I then went back to where Randall was standing at the bar. From where Ferguson was sitting he could see the bar and he began staring at me. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I avoided eye contact, but I could feel his eyes on me so I kind of turned around so I wasn't in his direct line of vision."

"He was drinking red wine and he seemed a little bit drunk. I couldn't tell if he was slurring his words because he has such a strong accent, but his face was very red and he was sweating.

"I felt uncomfortable, not with what he was saying, but because he was giving me so much attention.

"I felt a bit boxed in by him. Also, I am a young woman and he is an old man, after all."

The Mirror then have quotes from ’a waitress’:

Staff said Nadia "threw herself" at Sir Alex who they say behaved impeccably in the nightclub. A waitress said Nadia began a sexy dance in front of Sir Alex and his party. "The band was really getting the club going and she was dancing all around Sir Alex, making a real play for him," said the waitress.

"She became very flirtatious and some of the other members of the party seemed to become uncomfortable. In my opinion she was coming on to him. Nadia spent a lot of time swivelling her hips while she was at the bar. Nadia was definitely zooming in on Sir Alex.

"At about 1am Sir Alex left with another man from his group. The girl was still here when he left, they did not leave together. I went outside and when I came back in the girl was gone."
