jazza Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I met Dennis Berkamp in a restaurant in Carlisle, he seemed an ok sort of guy. I saw Kenny Dalglish once on a flight back from Spain and he was a total dick, refusing to sign a wee lad an autograph and was downright rude to the cabin crew.

Supersyd Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Neil Ruddock - Magaluff - 1986 - apprentice at Spurs at the time. Soft looking b*stard then. John McGinley - Kiss Night Club in town. He had just signed for us a few days before and he was with a bird who served behind the bar at Burnden (dirty bugger). Frank Worthington came to my house when I was a kid to see my sick brother (not the best circumstances - he passed away) Big Sam & Sammy Lee in Flag Inn. Fabian D & Sasa C in Ritzty (what a big f*cking hooter Sasa had!) plenty more I think but cant remember off hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breightmet Boy Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Stuart Pierce back stage at The Pogues concert last year at M.E.N arena, he was assistant manager then. Mrs Breightmet is a nurse at Hope Hospital and cos she helped his dad she got us back stage passes. Shit the Pogues though, just a crowd full of spud-diggers.

My sisters a councillor and got me invited to both. Met Jeff Steling, Chris Kamara, David Baddiel, Ann Taylor Bolton MP in Saporro, Japan v Argentina.

Guest Biff Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've also worked with Harry Bruce who played for Birmingham City and Reading. I met Billy Elliot on the boat from Norway when he was manager of Brann Bergen and I was telling him all about Big Sam. When he became manager of Sunderland, Sam was one of the first players he signed. I didn't get my agent's fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
