GoranBadlund Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 My little brother have been patted on the head by Kevin Keegan. Hopefully he kept his hands in that head area only... But a few years later my brother turned out to be a Man Utd-fan. So in other words he is pretty f***ed up so something more could have happened that day.

Guest Brazilianbob Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 My dad played centre forward for RAF Weetonians during the war alongside Matt Gillies who was a Spurs player at the time. Matt often said he couldn't understand why my dad wasnt playing first division football. Matt went on to manage Nottingham Forest and Leicester city in the 60's and 70's and whenever they played at SJP my dad would meet up with Matt for a pint on the saturday morning in the team hotel and matt would give him a ticket. My dad later became firm friends with Joe Harvey after he retired from football management and they used to play golf together each sunday morning until Joe died.

Cajun Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Jack Wilshere came to my parents house when he went out with my cousin. I am on "alright mate" *nod* terms with Andrew Fotiadis and we beat him and his mates in a 5-a-side despite them being a few years older and England youth players. Mathew Oakley went to my school.

Cclay Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 When I taught in Salford I had quite a bit of contact with Pat Howard as he was Football Development Officer for Salford City Council ... came in to scout for the Youth Games ... to be honest he was a bit of a dick. Cantona came in to coach as well as part of his community service ... was a much better experience. Taught Roy Carroll's twin cousins ... they weren't good at football ... runs in the family.

Guest mimifrench Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 My older brother played with Ben arfa when this last was about 10 years old in the club of Montrouge (parisian suburb)...

OzzieMandias Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Before she met my dad, my mam went out with a player from Cowdenbeath. When I worked at Dunn's garage on the Great North Road, Malcolm MacDonald would stop to fill up his Mercedes on the way home from a game. He always gave me a 20p tip. When I worked late at Newcastle Airport, I would get a cab home from Bobby Moncur's mini-cab company. Bobby himself would sometimes be driving the cab. He was playing for Sunderland at the time. Friend of mine is a mate of Michael Bridges. I once took the piss out of Paul Gascoigne at a party. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellious Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hung around with Kevin Beatties daughters when I was at school, been round his house -Ipswich and England player 70s - 80s Admirers included a who's who of English football management, including Sir Bobby Robson, Bill Shankly - who tried to sign him for his Liverpool side, Don Revie and Sir Alf Ramsey. Owned a Bar Alan Brazil used to own. Know Louie Donowa - Ex Ipswich Used to get tickets and VIP from Ipswich`s physio at the time they were in the prem. Know Ruel Fox, Nearly did a Bar with him, used to come to a club I managed. Know Jason Dozzell Ex Ipswich and Tottenham. Met Bobby Robson and accidently pissed him off coz my staff were too busy to serve him and I was stuck on the phone he was with someone important at the time, Think maybe Shepard. Went to an exclusive VIP birthday party years ago and met Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell, Anderton and shit load of others, to long ago to remember. Refused Dyer entry to my Club in front of all his mates, just to make him look a twat in front of his mates and arselicks. Good friends with Tes and Titus. Sorted it for me to meet Shearer and all the SBR team on 3 occassions. Got speeds parking pass at SJP. Got Jim Magilton so drunk he went home in an ambulance. Loads more but can`t remember. Thats spread over 20 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
