Footballers you have met

[Deano]

I had the misfortune of meeting Dennis Wise today - Arrogant "little" prick that he is. It got me thinking that I have yet to meet a current footballer/manager apart from Ian Holloway that isn't a self obessed tw*t.

Sam Allardyce - Prick
Sir Alex Ferguson - Prick
Kevin Keegan - big chip on his small shoulders
Ryan Giggs - Me-Me-me
Gerrard Houllier - Didn't understand a word he said but looked feckin grumpy
Lee Sharpe - Prick
Brian McClair - Didn't uderstand him - What an accent - Scottish on speed.


Ian Holloway - Great laugh, actually a really nice fella

[Craig_H]

Rio Ferdinand - arrogant and moody
Jody Morris - complete tit
Joe Cole - great lad, down to earth and friendly.
Frank Sinclair - blagger, nice enough

[Shaggy]

Ian Rush - Hilarious, incredibly thick, so drunk he couldn't walk and had to have Carlton Palmer's 'driver' come and collect him

Mark Hateley - ditto, slimy as **** though...a proper lech

Kevin Davies - did some marketing for my Dad and briefly dated my little sister

John Lukic - lovely chap

Danny Wilson - great bloke

Viv Anderson - complete tool

[kurtangle01]

Met Kenny Dalglish but I was far to young to know anything about it. Infact if my dad hadn't kept reminding me about the day we met Kenny Dalglish I'd probably never even remember.

Other than that I don't think I've met any.

[Shaggy]

Frank Sinclair - blagger, nice enough

I saw him about a year or so ago in McDonalds on Oxford Street in Manchester. Bought about thirty quids worth and took it outside to his obscene mini monster truck.

[James]

Dennis Law - top, top bloke.

John Barnes - again top bloke.

Steve Nicol - Fine Scotsman if a bit thick.

Bruce Grobbelaar - Mad and was having it off with my Sister In Law after a friendly game in Dundee!!

Jan Molby - nice guy.

Steven Gerrard (Before he broke into the first team) - typical scouser - friendly and chatty.

Gordon Strachan - funny as hell.

Ronaldhino - just awesome with the ball up close and can't speak a word of English other than 'OK'.

Claudio Cannigia - ugly as hell but willing to stop and chat in his limited English.

Frank Rijkaard - technically didn't meet him but he gave me an evil glare and stormed off when I laughed at him.

A lot more than this but most were minor celebs.

[Dan]

Shay Given - Spoke with his lips clenched together but was fairly respectful and decent fella

Damien Duff - Sound

[spud_gun]

None

Just a guess but you live in Dundee?

[Shaggy]

Oh yeah...

Did the stadium tour at the Nou Camp the day before we played 'em in the CL in 2002 and met Philipe Christanval and Fabio Rochembach outside, Luis Enrique in the tunnel and Patrick Kluivert near one of the trophy rooms. I only spoke at any length to Kluivert, who was amiable and posed for a pic. Sadly I'd forgotten my camera and had to buy a ****ty disposable one. The light was so poor and whatever flash may be on those things failed to work and when the picture was developed, all I could see were Kluivert's teeth.

When I came back no-one believed me that it was Patrick Kluivert.

[CJ]

i have met (all in the same day at luton airport)

Pat nevin - how small
Ray Houghton - very arrogant but had a good chat just had the impression if he had, had enough that would be it. it was around when houllier came out with the stuff about fowler and Ray did say that it is the coaches ****ing job to get the players fit and in condition. Also ray was taking the piss out of
John Wark - really nice bloke. thick as **** but really nice willing to chat etc.
Steve Hodge - again a nice bloke.

my dad is a plumber and now lives in coventry but has worked at Gordon Strachans house and he is a decent bloke Strachan lent him some stuff on coaching for the local pub team my dad was helping with at the time.. also in the 70s did some work for tommy smith I think

I do m8 (unfortunately), where do you hail from?

I met him when i was working at a club on a friday night - he was at chelsea at the time and they were playing away at Newcastle the following day, so i was a bit suspicious as to why he'd be out clubbing, drinking and strutting (oh yes he was) on the dancefloor...

Next day, in the buildup to the game, the team news revealed that Sinclair was out with a thigh strain...how i laughed

[Shaggy]

Steve Hodge

Dunno why but merely the name Steve Hodge makes me laugh. I remember rumours in the playground that he was gay.

My parents took me on a tour of the Camp Nou when i was about ten. We forgot to take a camera with us and had to purchase one of the crappy disposables. The entire spool was used up in the trophy room at Barca. When we got them developed not one single picture turned out 'right'.
