god I've met loads.
Sat with Kinky, Curley and Kit Symons in a box at the nynex (remember that?) watching Manchester Storm ice hockey. My old man used to get tickets for my school all the time when he was Junior Blues secretary. I went with School then my dad came and got me at half time and took me up to the box where they were sat. Think I embarrased him a bit coz I was screaming at me school mate so they could see I was sat with Kinky. Loved it. We all went and met the storm players aswell that night. top night.
Old man again took me into the blue room at maine road, where the players had a beer after the game. Met Quinny, Phelan, Fitzroy Simpson, Brian Laws (?????? think we played Forest), loads of others but can't remember that night coz I was really little.
Tony Coton is my Dad's mate. He gave me some signed Sondico gloves for christmas.
Did my work experience from school in the offices at City in 99. Worked with Sara Billington who was David Bernstein's PA. Had to do office junior duties for all the execs ie Ali Mac, Bernard Halford ie. Spent a day Helping Mike Summerbee arrange some community work. Best of all I was ringing round every football club doing research on something, when the chairman walked in the office. Shat meself. He spent the whole day working on the desk next to mine. He even (and nobody believes me on this, but I swear to god its true) let me pick what shirt we would play in next season. had a choice of three and I picked this one;
it was our first season with EIDOS and I also met Lara Croft. Mr Bernstein was class. A proper nice bloke.
Also spent a day on the switchboard in reception. All the players came into the office for some reason so I met Terry Cook, Andy Morrison, Whitley, Dickov, Goater. More again but can't remember. I remember buzzing off Morrison's convertible BMW M3.
Been lucky really that my Dad had contacts at City as a kid coz I was the envy of all my mates getting to meet players.
