What's your dullest anecdote about meeting a footballer?

[Rochdaleblade]

What kind of twat needs help buying shorts?

"Scuse me, do you have something in black with holes for legs to go through?"

To be fair, normal size shorts on Strachan would probably reach his ankles.

Saw Ndiaye in Tesco yesterday. He's a titch. Didn't realise he was a family man. Looked happy and relaxed. Did not approach him.

I'd have approached him, paid for his shopping and offered to scrape the ice off his windscreen.

Carlton Palmer came into Enterprise (Queens Road) while i was there hiring a van.

 

[The Hobott]

Don't you go to games, or do you leave early? His partner with baby always come down to the the corner of Bramall Lane/John Street and get a kiss from him as he walks round the ground to applaud the fans.

Don't leave early but never noticed her

 

[Bladepicker]

Filled up with Petrol in Morrisons Derby behind Mark Robins in his Rotherham tracksuit back when he managed them.

I went into the kiosk to pay but he paid at the pump.

 

[Sheff de party]

I spoke to Carlton Palmer when I worked at a BT call centre. I informed him I’d met him at Aston Hall on Christmas Day one year.

He completely brushed over the encounter and proceeded to ask about his internet, which I confirmed for him before he rang off.

Jake Wright was sat in a booth opposite me in Extra Time bar on Saturday for England match.

He was with a group of pals and one of them turned to us and said does anyone recognise who his mate was? I said yes he's Jake Wright, his friend confirmed that it was Jake Wright.

 

[Menage a petit pois]

You ought to go private.

Why?? They don't get their kit off but it costs a lot more to be disappointed.....

 

[Davalon]

Watched my mate throw Mark Kennedy's coat on the fire in a pub in Cheadle (said player was being a cocky cunt)

i was in harrods in london about ten years ago. caught steve sidwell was checking out my ex.

Gave Alan Cork my ticket for parking as there was an hour left on it a few years back. He thanked me for it.

 

[Maurice Maurice]

Saw Tony Currie before the Arsenal Kanu shithouse cup game walking to the ground, said something like 'Ey up TC, reight player', gave me a dirty look in return so fuck off you fat, ungrateful cunt, never liked him since.

Sure I've read people saying he's not all that nice of a person.

 

[Champagneblade]

Saw John Fleck a few weeks ago walking into Marks & Spencer on Ecclesall Road as I was walking out. We sort of half smiled at each other. It was while he was out injured though he seemed to be walking fine.

Did he bump his leg on a rogue basket and he's not been seen since?

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I saw Brian Deane visit the medical wards at Airedale General hospital, January 1994, dressed in a bright, schnazzy jumper. When I told a Leeds fan about it, he said ' you can have him back.'
Loiners have such poor taste.

I know someone who has dealt with him in Currie's role with the youth etc.
Says he's a proper, arrogant, twat. That's years ago like.

Saw him at Pure Gym Archer Rd a few times, before he went to China for a while.

 

[El Volví]

Filling up with petrol at services on the A1, opposite side of the pump was Kevin Keegan (he was then Newcastle manager).
I said "alright Kev?"
He replied "alright"

 

[El Volví]

Sat on a flight next to Alan Shearer (middle seat empty) and he just stared out of the window.

 

[El Volví]

Saw Brian Deane in a cafe in Harrogate.
I said "nice coffee in here Brian"
He said "not bad"


These are all true!

I used to coach Jake’s son, I can’t imagine he was happy with his mates giving it the ‘do you know who he is?’ Schtick. He’s pretty reserved.

Used to live near him for a few years.

Won't go into detail but he'll never be the United legend to me that he is to many others, irrespective of his footballing talents.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Walked past Paul Beesley in WH Smiths, Meadowhall once. I think it was a GT News then and then changed into a WH Smiths, although I don’t think that’s relevant.

 

[Stevo]

Went to the blades vs arsenal cup semi at old Trafford in a limo with Paul Rogers, Bob Booker and Paul Watson, long journey from Sussex, many vodka & red bulls consumed

Could have been much worse you could have met Ronnie Pickering.

My claim to lame ...I was standing behind Billy Sharp in the queue for the cash machine at the corner of Cherry St and Bramall Lane.

 

[broomhillblade]

Jostein Flo. Chatted to him on a few occasions at Reserve games (which he was watching).
A thoroughly nice, friendly bloke.

 

[Go with the Flo]

Many years ago, I was hacking around Beauchief golf course and a bloke walking his dog came up to me and said 'Have you seen who that is over there?' pointing to the opposite fairway.
'Is it Tom Heffernan?' I asked.
'It is' he replied.
We parted and never spoke again.
