Met Dave Watson, Gazza, Dave Weir at a pre season game at Plymouth Argyle where gazza scored a thirty yarder from the side blinding goal, i asked him after the game if he meant it? he just laughed and said "of Course!" really sound lad to chat to actually.

Had some boy racer drag off with Reidy one night coming home from a game, all the way down the lancs then onto the bypass, did him good style.
He was in an XR2, I was in my 205 GTI, tbf he never stood a chance.
There's your example right there though of then and now..... A top flight footy player that was PFA and Players Player of the year, an England international, playing for the Champions, and I a 21'ish apprentice am driving a better car than him, and not only that I can actually AFFORD it as well (just), it may well have been his runabout but if so then the moral is... get a faster runabout or you'll be embarrassed at every set of lights on the A580. Think Azteca Stadium, Maradona leaving the centre circle and stepping on the gas, pulling away as the injectors kick in and all you've got is a twin webber gasping for air.

The said Rick Astley blew me off with even realising in some big BMW, It was a big schnitzer with some fancy arse stez added by harmonn kardon, he only lived about 2 miles away.


I would've at that time probably had some U2 on I reckon..... cassettes like.

As in AC schnizer? There's one been parked up by my in-laws for 5 years. White m3 90's just rotting away on a drive. Looks like a proper AC one as well, not just badges thrown on
 

You might find that wheeler dealers programme on discovery interesting. They do some good motors on it
 
I met Andy King in the Kingsway in Southport. Came across as a lecherous old drunk. Well spoilt my hero worship of him.

I also met Duncan Ferguson when I worked in a Rufford Pub (the village he cracked some plebs skulls in when they broke in to house). Spent an afternoon playing pool with him and getting pissed. 4 of his mates drove down from Scotland to join us. Was well weird. Strangely I can't remember what we talked about. Think it might've been that 10th pint that made me forget.

Although my fave one was Coling Harvey. Top bloke. Would chat about Everton for hours
 
I remember when I was in primary school, we went to this thing at Liverpool's academy, and our group ended up being like the press, if you will, to Jon Otsemobor and Steven of Huyton, as like a training thing to prepare them for dealing with the press in the future.

Unfortunately we had no control over this sort of thing - the head at the time was a scout for them.
 

I met Tim Howard after the USA game in Chicago.
It is surprising how unavailable the players are for the other leagues. In our MLS league the players are so readily available its almost nothing to say you have met one or 10 at this point. I have had beers with several. Obviously, its a different situation for EPL and other leagues. Just interesting to note the difference.
