What's your dullest anecdote about meeting a footballer?

Can confirm they had a salad each, cannot confirm what salad it was. If it was anyone else I might've had a sly look, but I remember him being a mardy bastard when I used to do the TC summer camps so thought I'd save myself from a verbal bashing.

That’s reminded me of when my son used to go to the camps at the academy in the school holidays,one day he asked me to stay and watch,all the kids were sat in the middle of the pitch from 9 til about 10:30 so I asked someone why they hadn’t started playing yet and he said you’d better ask the gaffer, Currie came over and asked what was wrong,I said he’s been here nearly 2 hours and hasn’t kicked a ball yet,he replied “ you can have your fucking money back and take him home if you want” I said I don’t want my money back I just want him to play football,he just walked away. Like most young Blades of that era most of us wanted to be Currie when we were playing football and I still have my United shirt with the sew on numbers on the back from when I was about 10. They say don’t meet your heroes!
 

I was playing football in Lincolnshire last week and it was pissing it down so I had my United waterproof on. A guy on the other team saw the badge and said you will know my brother I am Paul Currie. He said he was going to get Tony to do a Q&A for Leeds and United fans if I was interested. Based on this forum I did not say anything! I am not great but I believe I am currently a better footballer than one of the Currie family.
 
In the mid 1980s (I was about 10 ish) I was riding my Raleigh grifter around a big park in Scunthorpe, and managed to ride into the dog of the then Scunthorpe United top scorer, Steve Johnson!

Back in the early "Naughties" we lived on the same estate as a number of Piggy players of that era, including Giles de Bilde (Can he fix it? No he can't) and future Blades Alan Quinn and Del Geary.
For some reason, we seemed to get most of Del Boy's Christmas cards delivered to our address. Dull enough??

Edwina? 😂
 
Just seen Hecky in the old post office in the centre of Leeds. He was celebrating his birthday with his Mrs so didn’t want to interrupt his celebrations to thank him profusely for getting promotion and commiserate for the shitshow of a transfer window from abdullah.

Also saw Craig Pawson but as he is a pig I ignored him and bemoaned the quality of officiating.

I’ve always believed Craig pawson to be a blade, you might have to get back out there and track him down
 
I bumped into Sol Campbell coming out of Waitrose once - or more accurately he bumped into me. He’s a very big bloke. I wouldn’t like to have met him on a football pitch.
 
As a surly 13 year old I accidentally bumped into Trenton Wiggan (When players used to walk to the game) on Denby Street. He was very polite and said sorry…I just made the sound of aggrieved teenager.

I met Edwina Currie with a small choir practicing in the back room of a pub in Tideswell. She’s very small and extremely flirty. Me and a mate spit roasted her in the car park afterwards (well he tells me we did - I was too pissed to remember).

Did you end up with salmonella?
 
I used to DJ at the Manor pub Old Denaby when Geoff Salmons had it for a while. By then he'd put on a bit of timber. Still a good guy though. No airs and graces. Had some good night's there.
 
Saw Jordan Slew last week at Endcliffe Park getting out of a car that most of us could only dream of. Not bad for a League 2/National League footballer - that Blackburn contract looked to have set him up for life
 
Ivan Perisic’s cousin was our airport transfer driver back from a ski holiday earlier this year.
 
When he was with us, Paddy Kenny used to get his hair cut at the bottom of Woodhouse. Saw him once or twice, but I started doing mine at home so didn't go in there anymore
