fraz77 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Saw Andy Carroll drinking in the ever-classy Pier 39 in Whitley tonight. Was with his missus, but wasn't giving her a beating, yet. Classy choice by Carroll, could imagine him being up on the podium with the pervy DJ from there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPalAl Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I know I am a bit late posting this, but at the beginning of August this year, about 7pm on a Sunday, me, my wife and he kids were flying to Turkey on our hols, and we were upstairs at Newcastle airport killing some time. Me and my son, who is 16, were wandering around when we saw 2 lads sitting in tracksuits. As we walked past, I saw the Ajax logo on their tracksuits. We looked at each other as if to say "eh? Who are they?" A moment or two later a few more of them came wandering into the lounge area. Dan, my son, says "Its Klass Jan Huntelaar!!" I then realised that Ajax had been playing Scumderland in a pre-season friendly. We were quite excited (I know, I should be mature at 40, but I am not ) and a bit starstuck. He is always on FM and knows a canny bit more about European football than me, and was naming loads of players as they came up the stairs. They were all sitting round, listening to their iPods or talking to each other. I did recognise Rommedahl, Sno, Gabri and a few others when who should come in but Albert Luque! I laughed as I said "Look, there's Luque", which must have been a bit loud as he looked over and smiled, maybe because Dan had his Toon shirt on. They hung around the cafe a bit, and Dan was chuffed to see Oleguer, who had only just signed for them from Real Madrid (? I think..). Luque was nearby, so we went and had a bit crack with him, and I have to say, he was a genuinely nice guy. You might have thought that, after the way things went at the Toon, that he wouldn't want to see another Newcastle fan again, but he was really canny. The best bit for me was when their manager came up. "Fuck me" I thought. "Its Marco Van Basten!" One of the greatest footballers ever was there! Dan got his photo taken with Van Basten, Huntelaar and Luque and Gabri together. I did ask Huntelaar when he was gonna sign for us, and he smiled and said "you never know.." (Maybe after Real Madrid? Kinnear was a bit slow with that one) One of their directors came past as well, with a bad limp (I assumed he was one of the directors, as he was in suit with the club badge on the pocket, while everyone else was on tracksiuts). Both me and my wife recognised him as a famous ex-pro, but didn't know his name. Anyone got any ideas? About 5'10" ish, thick set, maybe in late 50's now. Thought he was either Dutch or German international. Must have beeen famous for my wife to recognise him as well. Any suggestions? It was a great start to our holidays, and I make no apologies for behaving like a starstruck teenager. I know that was a few months ago, but I did lose a bit of interest in NUFC recently, so didn't think anyone else would be interested in this either...

Nice story, director could of possibly been Danny Blind. He played for Holland and is heavily involved with Ajax . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
