Who have you met, and where?

  I was a teacher in Huddersfield in the '80's ,and I was out drinking with some teacher friends one night in, I think, early 1987 , when who should walk in but Mike Lyons and Phil Bonnyman! They sat in a corner minding their own business while I made the mistake of pointing them out to my friends. I would have left it there, but of course one of my buddies who had  had a pint or three had to go over to them and say, quite loudly, " Our friend's a Grimsby fan." Surprisingly, they invited me over and we chatted for 10 or 15 minutes. They had been to watch a reserve game at Leeds Road and had popped in for a pint before getting back on the motorway.
  I am well aware of Lyons' reputation amongst Town fans, but I have to say they were both very friendly and welcoming to me that night and willing to chat about the club, recent matches, and other players.I kept my opinion about Mike playing himself as a striker to myself, which is probably just as well, but I have very fond memories of that evening.

Pre-John Player cricket in the early 60's I went to watch a match at Ross Sports ground. The match was between the Cricketing Cavaliers and a Lincolnshire side. Godfrey Evens played I was introduced to a young West Indian cricket who was proclaimed to be a future West Indian captain and great. His name Clive Lloyd.
Walking down Wembley way to the play off final against Northampton I spotted Lawie McMenemy with Dave Boylen. Imagine my surprise when they looked over and said "It's Don," and came over to speak to my father.

This last weekend bumped elbows with Alan Shearer at his golf course in Newcastle, didn’t have the balls to ask about his scar.

I played in the same school team as Paul Wilkinson at Toll Bar.
I marked John Robertson in the Nottingham Sunday League and was man of the match because I kept him in my pocket - he was a washed up alcoholic and about 15 years older than me! A right nasty b**tard, tried to kick lumps out of me when he realised he was being made to look a mug.
And on the other side of the coin - I played against Aden Butterworth (sp?) who used to play for Leeds when we were both students - he ran me ragged and made me look like a right clown. I got him at the right angle between the bye line and the penalty area and thought all was under control, he nutmegged me and then threw himself over my outstretched leg for a nailed on penalty.

Graham Taylor when manager of Lincoln came over to coach my years team at Clee Grammar as a favour to Owen Roberts. It was the day after his team lost to Boston United in the F. A. cup so he could've been forgiven for backing out but he didn't. See Gary Birtles about a lot in Notts. He lives a couple of roads away from my girlfriend. He loved his time at Town.
Met Kevin Keegan in a service station on the M62 when he was at Liverpool. Knew Town's result that day which impressed me.

Had the pleasure of meeting Alan "sniffer" Clarke when I worked as a fitter for ABP, around 20 years ago
What a gent, had a good conversation talking football and how it'd changed beyond belief.
Poor bloke was only there selling extractor fans and was doing okay until my mate thought to ask where the other 4 where...div got mixed up with Dave Clarke!!..

Worked in a regional theatre ticket call centre around 15 years ago and sold panto tickets to ex Bolton, Hibs and Finland striker Mixu Paatelainen, Dev from Coronation Street rang up for any tickets we could donate to his charity and Judith Chalmers from the holiday programmes in the 80's called asking if there was any free tickets as she was Judith Chalmers.

Didn’t exactly meet him but was in a big queue For the toilets at a service station between rustenburg and Joberg after the England v USA game at the World Cup when arsene wenger walked out of the disabled toilet.
