What's your dullest anecdote about meeting a footballer?

[fifty shades of blade]

I once saw Clinton O'Morrison walking to his car in Tesco Car Park Colchester with his Col Utd tracksuit on, one leg rolled up to the knee like a poundshop ghetto gangster. His motor was some white BMW hairdresser bag of wank.

This is more like it!

I saw Lee Todd in a pub just after the Villa game at home. Former Stockport, Bradford City and Southampton full back. We’re on nodding and small talk terms. He asked me if I went on Saturday. I replied “no, had a prior engagement” he laughed and said “for the best” and downed his dregs of Cruzacampo before turning to order from the bar.

Football friend?

Football friend?

It’s weird. I’ve lived in Wilmslow for two years. And legitimately he’s the only footballer i’ve met round here. Nice guy. Played for Stockport under Dave Jones. Did well and moved to Southampton for big money, not good enough for the PL and injuries I think forced him to retire.

He also drinks with either the brother or a friend of David White.

 

[Classof85]

Just been to walk the dog in Endcliffe Park and saw Danny Röhl out running.

Full Wednesday training kit on, smug smile on his face, as if he was on some kind of victory parade.

Tosser.

Should have Kidney punched him

 

[Notts Blade 123]

I once saw Luke Freeman at the Costa on Eccy Road, he was on the phone and was talking VERY loud (I only noticed him because of this) you could hear his Southern accent halfway down the road

Whilst riding North on the A1 early last Sunday morning, I noticed a Blue BMW M3 closing in rather quickly as we approached the Wentbridge 40 mph zone. As we slowed down, the car kept at a reasonable distance and we both adhered to the speed limit. When the restrictions ended, the blue car immediately overtook me.

I didn't see the driver, he couldn't see my face (crash helmet, me being on a motorbike) but the registration of the BMW was M9 OLE. I wondered at the time if it was Oli McBurnie on his way home to Knaresborough?

By the way, the car will need an MOT in August.

Or this….

 

[cahill]

I saw TC in the club car park, asked him when he going to write his book, said he was thinking about it and stop stalking me. The first part was true.

Good background information..the MOT bit I mean

Why did you jump to the assumption that it might be McBurnie rather than the more obvious answer that the car was being driven by a mole?

 

[Lucky Polo's]

Apparently Moles have very poor eyesight. As such a mole would fail the basic eye test at the beginning of the driving examination.

I was wrong to jump to my conclusion, for this I apologise to any BMW driving moles.

A few weeks ago I saw TC in Subway on West Street eating a salad with his wife

A couple of months ago, Mrs Trig (no interest in, or knowledge of football) and I were on our way across the car park to the club shop when we passed TC who said hello and he started to chat, no encouragement from me, honestly. It was the day of Bill Kenwright’s memorial service and he was travelling over for it.

As we walked away, I said blimey, do you know who that was? Of course I do she said…..Chris Wilder

 

[Le Cynique]

They were sharing a salad?

It was a foot long salad. Either that or they were sat in an underpass, sharing it like Lady and the Tramp.

 

[tazzy]

Was villa martin in Spain for the wolves play off when Glyn Hodges walk in with his dad and sat with us for the game seemed a nice fella
Currie was a twat we waited at least 10 mins for him to sign my boys shirts then when we got to the front he started talking to a guy behind him .after about 5 mins i said do you mind signing the shirts please .he turned round and said i am busy ,So at that i said common kids he's a fucking has been anyway

I'd assumed he just didn't have a fork

LOL !
Actually I’ve spoken to TC on three separate occasions and he’s been friendly and chatty each time. The last time was on a club open day and my grandson asked him something about artificial turf. Same session TC said Harry Maguire would play for England one day. TC obviously saw somethin.

Not been for years we stoped near the school thats if its still around and the pub was just up from it on a small centre

Our daughter lives there, so several free holidays a year.
Was it a Spanish school or the International one?

 

[sufc323]

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.

 

[Bert]

A French footballer who played for Lincoln City once came to Bert's house for tea.

Bert can't remember his name.

 

[MancBlade85]

Niall Quinn came to my primary school to do a talk once. He was very tall.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Bert can't remember his name.

You should tell him what it is, for all these stories you tell us about him.

Was walking down the gangway of the SS towards my seat and this old man walked along one of the rows so I let him out in front of me. Didn’t say thanks. I then noticed it was Tony Currie. He proceeded to the perimeter at the bottom and walked around the pitch on his own, towards John Street.
