Superjack Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Scott Murray was in my pub tonight. Insisted the staff down a Jagerbomb with him. And he paid for them. Top bloke. But then we knew that. Any other stories? Let's face it, there's not much else to talk about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuarr Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Gavin Williams was on his own at the cinema I work at and I watched him go upto the concessions counter and heard him say 'Give me the biggest, most expensive popcorn and drink.. Oh and give me 2 packs of Maltesers too' He then pulled out a wad of £50's rounder than my thigh and revelled in the fact the person serving him had to get a manager to check the £50 was real and get change for him.. Then he went on to ask if the manager was single. Bit of an arrogant show off if you ask me. On a better note, I've also met Gerken and Henderson there too and they're both top blokes. Finally, Nicky Hunt always used to come in with Lee Johnson and buy Ben and Jerry's and Pic n Mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I stopped Brian Lara in Birmingham City Centre. He really didn't want to shake my hand or stop for a photo but I'm bigger than him. So he did. Wasn't overly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted July 1, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Years ago after a midweek fixture a mate and I were invited into town with a group of several City players & Louis was telling people in one bar that he was the team's bus driver and that me & my mate were the team's star strikers. Then later the same night, we'd all moved onto the casino at Canon's Marsh & Tony Thorpe started prattling on about how lucky we were as common people that these footballers had deigned to spend some of their precious time with us.

cidercity Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Get most of the players coming into my workplace, most are very pleasant Evan nicky and little Lee were good blokes. The only ones that are right up themselves were jcr and partner and the left sided Scotland winger we had, such a twit I have forgotten his name.

Rule The Waves Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I stopped Brian Lara in Birmingham City Centre. He really didn't want to shake my hand or stop for a photo but I'm bigger than him. So he did. Wasn't overly impressed. Didn't know Brian Lara played for City? Worst by far - Leroy Lita in Romeo Browns few years back. His face looked a bit different by the time he left, and that was the City fans in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I held the door for Cole Skuse in North Street Post Office.

Taylor10 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Scott Murray was out in a bath night club a year or two back. I chatted to him for about half and hour or so about everything City. He got me a beer and told me how the club had way too many over rated and over paid players! Something we all know too well, as well as knowing he really is a top man. Legend.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Lee Peacock bought me a drink on more than one occasion in 'The Works' Nightclub simply for introducing myself as a City fan. Top bloke. Saw Steve Phillips in Reflex shortly before he left us. At the time his future at City was in doubt, I said to him that I'm sure fans would remember him very fondly if he was to go, however I also said "just dont go to the f**kin Gas Steve".

City Rocker Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'll never forget the words Norman Hunter said to me when I was about 11 years old and I met him outside Ashton Gate after training: "Aye, I think so lad". Legend! I have unfortunately completely forgotten what my question was though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bywaterred Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Bumped into Jon stead yesterday in the mall. He was a nice chap. Stopped and chatted. I asked him if there were any exciting signings on the horizon, he said we may see a premier league striker soon... He wouldn't tell me who it is but did say it looks quite promising. I did ask him if it was owen but he just said nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I was delivering in town about six weeks ago, and Louis was sat outside a cafe in Welshback having lunch with his family, he still spent 5 minutes to have a chat with me, top, top man.

Carey 6 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Bristol City used to run a programme called 'Summer Challenge' if i remember rightly, i went on it two years running and Clayton Fortune would sometimes drop in and come speak to all of us, top bloke.

Sargent Pepper Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Had a few nights out with City players over the years. Spent an evening chatting to tins in his local in nailsea. Ended up out with the entire team after the JPT win and vaguely remember Peacock buying us rounds of three different aftershocks and necking them straight each other. Scotty was a little worse for wear that night. A very emotional Danny Coles dragged me up to sing you'll never walk alone and incidentally a very quiet and timid Leroy Lita sat in the corner looking quite shy. Got chatting to Jamie McCombe after he won player of the year award and ended up going out with him and his brother John. Both top men. The worse experience was as a young teenager bumping into Keith Welch in broadmead just after his howler at WBA And him being pissy when I mentioned it. I'm sure he was just fed up of people bringing it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he joined the Gas, me and 2 mates went over and gave him stick, said Basso was a much better keeper than him and he went completely mental at us. Very funny laughing at him, he was looking like he was gonna explode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterrimes Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 The best moment for me was the evening of the "Thumped em at Trumpton" 4-2 derby game nearly the whole squad came into Wedlocks for a beer when the team coach got back. I remember Brian Tinnion spent ages talking to us. Going back to the 80s John Bailey could often be found in Wedlocks during the afternoon too and he was so funny. I always found Tommy D to be a good guy too who would stop for a chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Horsman Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Going back a few years, Donnie Gillies was always a nice fella as was Geoff Merrick who was happy to stop and chat to a wide-eyed 15 year old who bumped into him in downtown Johannesburg when he joined a 'rebel' tour after leaving City. I couldn't believe it being a City fan living 6000+miles away and seeing one of my boyhood idols strolling down the street!! I believe Chrissy Garland was part of the same squad. Met Ade Akinbiyi and Paul Mortimer at The Mall once, Ade was polite, interested and happy to chat, Mortimer barely said a word and kept looking at his (******* expensive) watch......

Went to the Forest away leg of the Semi-final league cup with my old man, Donnie Gillies and the "Doc", I was only a nipper but remember it well, got stuck in a traffic jam and Gillies got out the car to get some cans off the mini bus in front who were more than generous.....

Cunnyfunt Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Been on the piss with Noble and Keogh.. Jesus Noble was a wreckhead. An absolute menace!! Been out with McCombe and his bro also.. Top guys. His bro was unfortuante to get a hiding on Park street unprovoked then moved back up north. Alex Russell and S.M (a mentioned) were sound guys too. I remember Junior Agogo buying me and my mate 3 Aftershocks in Fushia telling us to neck them with him!! Another random one... I walked into the bog in Pam Pams and Shoaib Aktar ( fast as **** pace bowler) was crouched, watery eyed in a ball swaying from side to side pissed out of his mind. Very odd.

TRL Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not met, but witnessed agostino, while taking a slash in the works, have some guy take a piss on his leg, to which ago screamed, "do you ******* know who I am", to which a plastered gas head said, "yeah, that's why I did it! **** off you shithead *****" Ago had been lording it about, it was quite funny, granted if it had happened to me I would have been mildly peeved! How ago didn't smack him I dunno, it looked like he had gone past rage and was about to murder someone! I remember Bailey buying me a drink and him telling me they had a party in a telephone box at Everton for Atteveld when he joined us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTimeRed Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 When in Liverpool a few yrs back I was getting taxi into town when the driver asked where I was from. After chatting he asked if a mate of his could jump in for a lift which I said was ok and when his mate got in it was none other than John bailey to which we got chatting about city then a little further down the road we picked up Howard Kendall turned out they were drinking partners. They both payed for the fare and said to me what pub they would be in if I fancied it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
