magic legs Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 There's a 'brushes with the stars' thing in the Guardian's daily football email and yesterday's mail included this: “Back in the early-90s, I spotted the then-Oldham Athletic midfield dynamo Neil Redfearn (now Nasty Leeds gaffer) in front of me at the cash machine in Rochdale town centre. As he turned around, the best I could come up with was ‘I hope you’ve left some money in there for me Neil’, to which he replied: ‘Yes, of course’” Quote
gonzo Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Ryan Giggs was stood behind me in th queue at the big B&Q near the airport once. My card got declined whilst buying a piece of angle trim and some tile spacers. He didnt offer to pay for me. Quote
pato Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Mate of mine met ALF on the stairs at his house as ALF was taking a break from banging his sister (my mates not ALF's) Quote
magic legs Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 i pushed Graham Lancashire off a wall is as glorious as it gets for me. Looked him up on wiki - thought he had played / scored more than he did, Quote
Naytch Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Nick Barmby moved into the next street down from mine when he was at Liverpool. When I knocked on his door to get an autograph, his little lad Jack (now at Rotherham on loan from Leicester), asked me to play football with him, so I did while Nick's milf wife Mandy bought me an ice cream. Nice family. Quote
Guest Blixa Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I saw lots of footballers on various football pitches. Fact. Quote
Anderson Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Met Vela in the Foot Locker in Trafford, nice lad, taller than I thought. I realised afterwards he was with another youth player who I'd completely blanked. Quote
frank_spencer Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Had a kick about with the Neville's and assorted other manyoo yoof in greenmount back in the day Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Once lost some keys in the stadium. Went back to look for them and as a security bod was escorting me through the inner sanctun to find them BSA saw us comming and held open a door for us. What a gent! Then the same BSA continued to chew gum, open mouthed as Nat's coffin passed him whilst he stood as part of the guard of honour. What a cunt! Edited February 5, 2015 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Frankie was brilliant after Nat's funeral too. He was frozen to the bone and looking a tad frail too. Nevertheless he signed every autograph requested and spoke happily to everyone. Last bloke away from church. Truly a top fella Quote
seasoned Traveller Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 When I were a young YTS in travel, I booked Dave Felgates family holiday to Portugal. When he came back said he lost 2 beach towels and claimed for them on the insurance. Quote

mannyroad58 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I was in the sponsors box this season for the Wigan League game and well after the game had finished i went for a piss and on the way back i noticed Max Clayton walking down the corridor towards me so i said to the waitress Me "Here's my phone will you take a photo of me and Max" Waitress "Yes no problem" Me "Any chance of a photo mate" Him "yes mate" and puts his arm around me and gave me a little squeeze Me "just for the record i thought you were MOM tonight not Chungy" Him "that's funny because i didn't even play" Me "Who the fuck are you then" Him "Joe Mason" Me "well if you had've played you would've been" What a cunt Quote
kent_white Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Scott Sellars once came over to our Wagon Wheels portacabin when I worked for football in the community and asked whether any of us had change for a £50 note. He left looking sheepish when we told him we were all on £37.50 a week. Quote
kent_white Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 About the same time as the story above - We'd been around the Schools doing coaching sessions for the kids. After the 10 week course finished, the kids got a guided tour of the stadium. We'd just signed Dean Holdsworth and as I was walking over to the ground to meet the kids, I spotted him, wearing one of those Kangol hats like Samuel L Jackson. He was surrounded by the class I was teaching who were all getting autographs. Only one lad actually knew who he was, but the other 20 or so we're just following suit. Anyway, as I rounded the corner - they all cheered and ran towards me with their autograph books, leaving Dean Holdsworth standing there looking stupid with a pen in his hand and a look on his face as if to say 'who the fuck are you'. Just for comedy timing a bloke in a van on the car park chose that moment to shout out of his window 'Oi Dean, you can take that stupid fucking hat off as well. You're up North now son'. Quote
Traf Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I once went to a BBQ where Fat Sam ate all the hotdogs. I also saw Stelios at the gym, parking up in a disabled spot. Quote

Underpants Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Oval, England Vs Windies (Viv Richards last test in England). Hung about for ages hoping to get Sir Vivs autograph. Got bored of waiting outside so managed to blag my way in to the pavilion. Coming down the empty staircase as I walked up was Graham Gooch. I giggled Like a girl, said some bollocks and then wiped the sweat of GG forehead. What a fucking tool! Quote
Traf Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Was he injured at the time? No, just short. Quote
frank_spencer Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I once went to a BBQ where Fat Sam ate all the hotdogs. I also saw Stelios at the gym, parking up in a disabled spot. I miss Natasha. Anewman tries but his success rate isn't anywhere near as high Quote
Con Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Stood next to Stuart Pearce whilst watching the Cure at Move festival at OT. May be a bit shit at football management, but he knows his music, and is a nice chap. Quote
