Footballing connections

As said in another thread I played PES against Raúl Tamudo (Espanyol's centreforward and all-time topscorer), since we had at the time a mutual friend. He tore me a new one (always been more of a FM guy).

 

Also, in one night, at the same party, I met Andrés Iniesta, Rafa Nadal and Pau Gasol. None of them were famous yet (well, Gasol a little).

 

I used to live in Cesc Fábregas' hometown, and my brother knows his family and has spoken with him on occasion (not the nicest person in the world, he tells me).

 

Guardiola lives in my parents' town, when I go there, I usually bump into him. My parents buy their meat at the same store as him.

Me & Gimp both went to the same middle schoold as Watto & Thompon. Then the same high school as Watto. There year won everything at football.

 

Me,Gimp & CP40 lived in the same street as one time Newcastle reserve Tom Heron who also was the cover star of there early 90's catalogue. Seen Tom recently on the bus, hair gone, smoking & piled a few pounds on.

My old man played at reserve level for Sunderland, alongside some of the FA Cup winners and once got a bollocking for going in hard on Bobby Moncur in training.

 

I used to play a lot of footy with Danny Graham as well (me and NUT went to the same secondary school)

 

Once had a kickabout with Gazza on Pelaw Fields, he was there with Cheryl watching Dunston FC

Thought of some more.

 

I have a friend who was a scout at Fulham until about 18 months ago.

 

I have a friend who was very closely linked with the story about Rio Ferdinand's missed drug test, and a few of my friends were out partying with Downing one night in a club when he got in a bit of a state (are these 2 stories related? ;))
