RE: Does anybody really know me?
Wow Wow Wow, I have met a few footballers, unfortunately pre smart phones.
I was in Glasgow and took my niece to her first Rangers football match.
My wife and her and I were staying in a hotel and a few of my friends were there for dinner. They were in the bar drinking and guess who but Gazza and jimmy Fivebellies were there. I was buzzing, there were drinking cocktails and smoking, it was his last game for Rangers, the press was all will he stay wont he. Anyway I asked if he would give my niece an autograph, it was her tenth brithday, he only went and wrote her a poem.
Ever since then I have not heard a bad word against hi,
Rooney picture though, that is something else, AP hehe good for The Telegraph for actually naming you, giving you credit and good for Sky letting you know the score!
Oh wow...Gazza haha.. what a legend! A sad story too. I had to google Jimmy ... It's crazy who you can bump into, hey?... Nice one, Ed. Your niece must have been so excited. I hope she has managed to keep hold of the poem - that's a lovely treasure right there!
I met David Seaman in a cafe in Carnaby Street once. My Mom took a pic of us together... he made me remove a David Beckham Manchester United cap first 😂 needless to say my mom focussed perfectly on the couple across the street from us lol but the pic is still ok... he was so nice. A real gentleman.
My best memory of meeting a footballer though...if you can call a piercing stare, and a nod as meeting lol... but he did sign his autobiography for me and a photo of himself that I handed to him... the one and only Eric Cantona ... I was thrilled. I actually went down to watch him play in the European beach soccer league in Brighton in the hope of meeting him and getting him to sign the autobiography. So I was made up!
I'll see if I can dig out the pics on the weekend... not sure which hard drive they are on ROFL.
