sglosbcfc Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Which players have you met and what have you thought of them? I'll start the ball rolling... Joe Jordan - top bloke, really nice guy Bob Taylor - friendly guy and cracking Mrs at the time 1990 Gary Johnson - met him a few times, funny guy and always happy to talk about City Nicky Maynard - arrogant sod, when I spoke to him he couldn't even be bothered to look at me Neil Lennon - very knowledgable about football, even back when I met him in the mid 90s, and complimentary about BCFC. Scott Murray - top bloke as everyone knows Paulo Maldini - funny guy and lover of big knockers ( but that's a story for another day, ha) Ray Houghton - rude, arrogant and confrontational with no reason what so ever, big let down for me after being an admirer of Liverpool when growing up.

Cider army1981 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Gary Johnson - top bloke had a decent chat with him. Scott Murray - legend.. Simples! Ryan Sidebottom, not football I know but a top bloke, he even brought me a jäger bomb :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich-TWSC- Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I used to serve Sunderland players at HMV Durham on a regular basis between 2007-2010. Dickson Etuhu was a nice enough chap, his missus was a very pleasant person. Andy Reid and Paul McShane were both really sound guys (quite chatty) while others like Phil Bardsley, Titus Bramble, Keiran Richardson and Kenwyne Jones were quiet. Roy Keane was intense. Never talked football with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Footballers: Rainer Bonhof Trevor Francis Alan Shearer Tommy Doherty Scott Murray Peter Shilton Jack Charlton Geoff Hurst Bryan Robson Kenny Dalglish Nobby Stiles Other sportsmen: Strauss, Collingwood, Flintoff, Hussain, Bell, Anderson, Pieterson, Monty, Mahmood Dallaglio (sp?), Johnson, one of the Underwoods (possibly Tony), Eales Frank Bruno Some of them were just fleeting hellos, had the longest chats with Strauss, Collingwood and Hussain: all sound. Sir Geoff was a class act, and also very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ashley young bought me a beer once because he accidentally bumped into me and spilt mine. Was very apologetic and polite and chatted to a few of my mates for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbcfc Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Met Lee Peacock in Magaluf. He was sat in Alex's bar and when I bought some drinks I said alright he nodded I went back and told and told my mate who didn't believe it was him so he went up and asked him he denied it but I knew it was him. Lee Matthews was always a decent a bloke who would always stop and have a chat. Richard Keogh bought me and my mates a round of drinks when I spoke to him a couple of weeks after getting promotion. Colin Cramb was always a great bloke to chat to, had a good chat at Gerry Gow's testimonial, same with Adam Locke. Most City players past and present have been nice and chatty when approached.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Met Lee Peacock in 'The Works' Nightclub, all pissed up (me and him) Met Steve Phillips in 'Reflex' Nightclub just before he left City, told him he was a good bloke and that if he was going to leave "don't go to the ******* Gas", to which he smirked in a kind of 'yeah, right...as if!' sort of way. Saw Marcus Stewart off his tits in the centre with a couple of blokes at about 6:30 one Saturday evening shortly after he signed. There is a common denominater in all these encounters.
