I said hi to Chadli this year at Man City (I was in the corporate section and saw him when coming out of the ground).
Met Benny outside the away end along with hundreds of other yids at Chelsea one year, I think it was before the goal that never was that Gomes let in when we lost 2-1. He was loving the attention and very happy to pose for photos and have a chat. I think he was watching the game with us as well. Any other player would try and avoid the fans, he literally walked straight through them just before kick off.
Sat on the next table from Levy when having lunch in Tromso on the day of the game. I didn't say hi, on principle.

Come to think of it, I'm sure I saw him at the airport in Pisa on Friday. There were two lads wandering around in all the official gear and some large THFC containers had just been dropped off at the check in desk.
Walking round my local Ruislip Sainsburys I did a double take in one of the aisles,for there was my hero Steve Perryman shopping with his wife.
Went up to him and engaged in the usual football love in and asked him what was our chances that season,he was polite but said the current squad wasn't good enough,can't remember now who was manager ?
His wife was getting irritated at how long we were talking,but he gave me the upward sky look and winked,smiled but carried on talking.
What an absolute gent,and I truly believe I modeled my playing style on him alone COYS

All were very nice

As a kid I attended one of his football schools over Harlow and got to meet him, then met him 12 months later at Tottenham cricket day over Broxbourne or somewhere and he actually remembered me asking me how i was getting on etc.
The only player I've met, shook hands with, and had an autograph from was Jurgen the German.
Was chuffed

Met Teddy as a kid as my dad was an acquaintance of his & he used to present awards at his football coaching sessions.
I met Aaron Lennon at a cashpoint in Chigwell about 7 years ago.
I passed & said hello to Van der Vaart in Loughton & he gave me a thumbs up (didn't get a pic with him as was trying to play it cool for some reason, still regret that to this day! ha) .
I've met Tom Huddlestone out & about several times, to the point that he actually said hello to me on about the third occasion & got me a jaegerbomb! :vdvdive:
I also met Ledley King in Loughton & did get a pic.
Met a lot of the team around 2001 when went up the old training ground.
And I met Steven Caulker at Wireless festival last year, seemed a real nice guy, had a chat for about 2 mins.
Oh and Alan Hutton in Morrisons a few years ago as well! (always seems to be almost exclusively Spurs players)
seen Kyle Walker a few times around Enfield as well.

My Daughter was in Ibiza with 5 other friends in a nightclub, she was at the bar with one of her friends when a real big bloke came over and said to both of them they would have to leave the club , why said my girl and he replied they were too good looking to be there .

My brother was a Taxi Driver in Hemel Hempstead, and on a slow night he was waiting outside a night club nodding off when the back door opened which startled him with the bloke saying do you know where Chiswell Green was ?,yes says my brother because he knows a famous Woolwich player lives there. The punter says ok mate show me when we get there.
Then my brother goes on about this player being a piss artist and coke head and what a tosser he was, so as my brother pulls up outside the address to show him the back door opens and the punter puts his head through the nearside window to pay him and then realized this passenger was the coke head was in his car all the time, it was Paul Merson who laughed at him for his cheek and paid him with a tip included !!!

I shook hand with William Gallas and got a photo taken with him when he was playing for tottenham near my secondary school which is near tottenham there was about 5 of us walking back from school and spotted him ahead of us Felt like giving him some stick for being a Woolwich player before us lol
Teddy came to my school when he was at Millwall and handed out certificates...my sister met him, I think it was GCSEs or something.
I met Defoe, Johnny Jackson, Michael Brown, Jamie Redknapp and Deano RIP when we played Trollhatten away in a pre season friendly. They were in the Swedish 4th division, which standard wise is like Hackney Marshes.
I say met, but it was basically me and my mate (grown ups) and 50 little kids queing up to get our shirts signed at half time as the players not involved sat in the stand. It was more like a scaffold, but there you go.
My mate said to JD "whats Pleaty like then, is he a bit of a muppet".....JD raised one eyebrow and said "E's alright..."
I didnt know what to do, and I caught Deano's eye and said "alright Deano"....."alright" he said. RIP big man.
Jamie Redknapp and Michael Brown were listening to some brass band on the pitch at half time and saying stuff like "Oi this is his favourite band"...
Pretty funny, and surreal, and of course we lost (1-0)
