Markman Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 In Brighton this week for a conference and stood behind me in the Taxi queue was none other than Liam "Chippy" Brady - I could remember when he came down with Arsenal a fair while back now (1978?) and I think Arsenal won 3 - 1 and Brady was out of this world - pure quality - he said he remembered the game and wished us good luck this season - top player and bloke!

City Exile Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I spent an hour at a dinner sitting next to some old West Ham player.Apparently all he had done was get a hat trick in some game or other for England in '66. Didn't half milk it if you ask me - he is not the first player to score three goals in a game for heavens sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MaloneFM Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 On a tube going form Highbury Arsenal v Leeds. In the corner of the carriage one Norman Hunter.'You're Roger Malone' he said. 'Yes Norm, now, I'm reading the paper-bugger off!'Obilgatory quip over. I said to him 'You're Norman Hunter' and he looked at me like 'go on ask me what Billy Bremner was really like' and I said 'I used to watch you down the Gate'.This put him off for a minute till he said 'Ashton Gate? The City?'. 'Yes Norm and if you are ever back down there a few old gits owe you a pint.'He kept saying 'do you?' and 'did you'? every time I said we thought he was a legend. He couldn't believe it. He got off the train and waved like I'd made his day. Norman Hunter. Still a legend. And a giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Red Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 2001 whilst on holiday in Prague I was waiting in a hotel lobby for a taxi when David Pleat comes out of the lift. I believe he was scouting for Tottenham.The following photos were taken in 1980 after West Ham's home game against Sheffield Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Recently is a bit subjective - used to drink in the company of Ritchie, Gow, Cheese, Cashley and the immortal jellylegs Grobelar - still got the football he got for me signed by the Liverpool team in the late 80's somewhere.

My husband shook his hand but he appeared to be in a hurry as we were in the pub full of city fans and I think he was worried he was goign to get pelted by us after losing 5-1!Also saw the Holland squad last year in Portugal they were staying near my hotel.

Unsworth was a quality bloke, got speaking to him about the two FA cup games we played against Everton in the 90s. He realed off the goalscorers and how the goals happened better than I could!

Boxing Kangaroo Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I met Sam Allardyce in The Long Bar at Wembley a few years back, it was the England-Germany match that turned out to be the last game held at the old Wembley. Big Sam is a top bloke, seemed very friendly. Around this time last year Mick McCarthy (and his wife) were sat opposite me on a flight from LA to Las Vegas.Seen/met various players from both Bristol clubs out and about in Bristol of an evening. I don't think they count as famous players though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the games he would lumber his big ass way to the back of the open end and would be hosed down by a few fire engines.You could see his arse from Ashton Park.
