Yes

David Speedie - he was drinking with an old friend of mine in a pub in Richmond. Really quite shy, but that might have been because I was drunk and kept bowing to him for his goals against Everton and Man U. Nice fella who knows how to drink.

David James - met him in the players lounge at Palace. Nice enough, but seemed a bit of a Jack the lad and he insisted in finishing his drink before rejoining the team bus, even though Souness wanted everyone back.

Nigel Martyn - after same game, bloody nice bloke and very accomodating

Sven Goran-Ericsson - Barcelona airport, the morning after the night before in 2001. Me and one other spent 15 minutes discussing the pros and cons of playing JC at full back. Nice bloke, very patient and smaller than he looks on telly!

Rafa Benitez - golf club south of Croydon before the Palace away game in 2005. Very smiley but English was patchy so ended up with a thumbs up, piccie and more smiles!

Rick Parry - same place, very grumpy and did not like being bothered, even though I was the only one who knew who he was save for the receptionist, who's job it is to know that.

The whole LFC squad - same place as above as I stalked them with my golf clubs. Got lockjaw just as they approached and looked like a dumb mute as they walked past! 35 years old and I got stage fright!

Paul Jewell - Sopwell Hotel in St Albans when Wigan were in the Championship. Very nice guy, loves LFC!

Met Rio in a club in Leeds. Was an absolute A-hole. It was just after he'd scored against us in the league and I jokingly asked him to take it easy on us next time we played. Got to rate him - he scored an OG in the fixture!

Met Shankly when I was about 5. And asked if I could shake his hand.

"Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye sannnnnn!!!!"

He made me feel like HE was the one proud to meet ME. Legend.

[alunevans]

Souness, did a piece at my dad's workmans club in the gorbals. Super nice guy, down to earth, and when you speak to him about tactics etc he blows your mind. He is super smart when it comes to football. We spoke at length about games where he had switched the tactics on the fly and why he'd done it. He really, really, knows his footie.

It wasn't the Bristol City game was it

[Rocket]

Salif Diao - I taught him everything he knows

[Neil Young]

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

How did your brother feel about it?

[cadmium]

Just after the 1996 FA Cup final we were checking in for a flight to Florida and in the queue next to us was John Barnes. While we were on holiday it was my 15th birthday and my Dad asked Digger to sign one of my cards for me (i'd gone to buy a drink at this point), which he did. Then my Dad says to him "I'll tell you what John, he wasn't half disappointed with the cup final" "weren't we all mate!" Responded Barnesy, and swiftly left the queue. Not the best tactical move there Dad!

[Marky]

Lee Hendrie - he was deadon like.

[kewellnthegang]

Lee Hendrie - he was deadon like.

[Neil Young]

Lee Hendrie - he was deadon like.

Samuel Eto'ooooo and Thiaggo Motta in a nightclub in Barcelona.

Houllier albeit very briefly.
