Had a great night with Trevor Sinclair & David Dunn in the Fantasy Bar some time ago as well. Both smoke like feckin chimneys and we had a laugh winding Dunn up saying Fergie was outside asking about him and he believed us!! He couldn't put his fag out quick enough. Not the sharpest knife in the draw that lad. Ended up sitting & drinking with them well into the early hours, top lads.

Is David Dunn a City fan mate? I heard he was and actually comes watching us a bit, but my mate who's a Rovers fan is sure that he's always supported Blackburn.

I think he's a blue. I followed him to the ground recently
Nice lambo with a number which was a lot like D DUNN, but no idea how

The weirdest ones was meeting David Platt, In bari, in Italy, (whom he was playing for at the time), as he was walking near the sea front, not long after he had joined them. At the time i was in the navy, and I was with a bunch of mates, and he was quite friendly, especially when i said I lived in Crewe, even offering tickets for the next Bari home match, pointed out my best mate and i went the same school as his wife (she was 2 years above me at Shavington School), and my mate had given her one in the chicken shed at school (i was very pissed). At school she was what we call very "User friendly".
The other weird one was at Butlins in either 1979 or 1980, in Phwelli. They had a Football training school set up, and who was running it, none other than Colin Bell. He spent most of the time chatting to my dad (who he had known at City), instead of actually training the kids.

Was out for a stag do the other month in town, and we were in the Living rooms when the whole villa squad who had just lost a blackburn arrived, one of our lads was a massive villa fan and apparently has some links within the club, seemed to get on quite well the likes of reo coker, carew, and gardener, but unsurprising of all, must be that agbonlahor is, as he appears on TV, miserable, arrogant, no, VERY arrogant, cocky, stuck up his own arse, looking down his nose at everyone, and just seemed like a generaly twat, totally ignored this bloke who was with us, despite the other players appearing to know him well enough to have a laugh and joke with him.

So let me get this straight. You meet feller walking on his own in distant country who you regocnize. You go on to him, let him know that you know who he is and tell him that you know a guy who has porked his missus back in the day?
How to make friends and be succesfull!

Artur Numan was a gent and couldn't have been more forthcoming as was Mols, the De Boers were quiet but nice enough. The most striking thing was Mols' misses who has to be the least attractive footbllers wife ever. Met a lot of the Rangers 9 in a row squad and the current side at the time through Andy Goram who I used to play Cricket with just after he returned from his spell at the swamp.
SaId hello to Frank Lampard and his Dad at COMS just before the uefa cup final. Sat next to George Burley (likes a drink), Jan Wouters (stunning and very friendly wife who kept asking me for a cig) and Dick Advoaat at hampdump once.
Most were all really pleasant. The only cunt sportsman I've met is Ricky Ponting but that's O/T
