Strangest place you've seen an Everton player

Reminds me of the time Mo was getting loads of stick of this Evertonian about what a shoite player he was, and he could do what he did, by now Mo was really peed off with him and said to him" I bet you can't do this" and ripped a fifty into bits and threw it on the floor, mad scramble with half a dozen lads on the floor trying to put the bits together.

I’d met Mo before this encounter, one Saturday after the game in a now closed boozer in Bootle. He’d scored the only goal against Villa in the previous game - think it was a Monday night early on in the season - so in the flush of a once enthusiastic youth - I toddled over to say, great goal Monday Mo, why didn’t you start today? Could have done with you on from the beginning.

His answer was unfortunately legendary for too many wrong reasons and it probably taught me a bit about the reality of the game and how my innocence of players and their worlds differed to mine.

It went along the lines of ‘because I wasn’t bothered (he used a different word), I spent the first half avoiding the managers eye contact so I could listen to the horse racing in the dugout on my earphones, then (manager...again a different word) put me on to make a point.”

True story. Romance of football eh, we had drawn 0 0 with Wimbledon that day.
 
Met Fellaini an hour before kick off when we played Liege away some years ago in the Europa. He was just signed for us but ineligible to play. I was a bit worse for wear ina cab stuck in footy traffic getting to the game and the cab driver was telling me in French that he used to be Felli’s personal driver, and I was telling him back in perfect French it was ‘balloches’.
Que a Blacked out BMW/Audi pulled up by us in the traffic....windows of both wind down and said cab driver starts yacking away with Felli and his Mrs! Gobsmacked, I grabbed my Dutch mates shirt off his back, jumped out, and thrust it into the big fellas face to sign. He just pee’d himself, signed it and carried on yacking.
 
Chipped the white ball off the table at snooker club. Martin Keown picked it up and threw it back to me. He was playing against Peter Beagrie on next table.

Keown would have tried to trap it and fallen over, and if he did throw it back it would have gone to whoever you were playing against........
 
Reversed Manuel Fernades and his agents car out of the marriot car park and in doing so ensured they had a speedy journey to the airport to go and sign for Valencia the mext morning the pair of knobheads

Also assisted Radszinksi to a parking spot to get his Mercedes fixed as he was having issues with the gears.

He didn't sod off to Valencia the next day i can confirm
 
Surreal moment when i bumped into Mikel Arteta (literally) in Asda in Bearsden (outskirts of Glasgow) when he was playing for Rangers,anyway trollies collided and when i look up the bold Mikel(who i was surprised to see looked quite small) is standing in front of me with his stunning girlfriend at the time (who i'm sure he later married) so as we are trying to manouver the trollies around each other while apologising for our carelessness,Arteta bumps into another shopper who just happens to be Bobo Balde(6ft 6in) Centre half who was at Celtic then,funnily enough they just gave each other a look and carry on without a word !!Coulda got nasty !!
 
Joe Max Moore in TGI Fridays.

Tobias Linderoth and his absolutely stunning girlfriend in Bella Italia (he left a 1 pound tip - hated him ever since).

Yes I used to work as a server, haha.

Also Graeme Sharp's son Joe used to play in my old Sunday League team for two years and Sharpy would stand behind the goal on his own instead of interacting with the other parents.

Not Everton, but we also played against RS John Barnes' lad in Sunday League and John was there watching, in the middle of summer, wearing a kin absolutely massive bright orange winter jacket the bellend.

Again not Everton as such but perhaps worth mentioning, met Sammy Lee at Euro 2008 in Basel and he was actually a pretty decent fella considering his club of choice.

Many years ago whilst in the TA a young man came to our football training session and introduced himself as a new TA trainee who would also like to try out for the football team.

With a name like Trebilcock we thought we had a winner, especially as his dad was a certain ex player.

You guessed it - he was shoite at football and soldiering!!!!!
