Ex footballers who dislike you

Bryan Robson.
He was stood behind Trevor Francis when I asked Trev for his autograph. As he finished signing and was handing the paper back to me Robson stepped forward and said 'I suppose you'll want mine.'
His face was apparently a picture when I replied 'what the fuck would I want yours for'.*
I didn't see it as I'd turned to go but I heard Trev laughing.

*For the full effect say it with the disdain I said it. :-)
 
Shay Given was an uber **** to me once.

Pulled a big time charlie trick on me that when a mutual acquaintance explained the circumstances to him that led him to be a massively entitled prick , he apparently felt bad.

I was glad he felt bad because he acted like a total bell end

You should pick on someone your own size
 
Pat Rice once told me and my mate to fuck off at Stockport train station, cos he we called him a **** when he wouldn't stop for a picture after City had beaten Arsenal at home. Arsene Wenger stopped though!
 
I was driving along a one way street in Manchester, and Buzzer came towards me in his car, in the opposite direction. He gave me the V sign. I panicked, thinking I was going the wrong way, and quickly looked for the nearest side road to turn into. I then found out I was going the correct way and he was going the wrong way. It was near his shirt shop, off Deansgate, back in the eighties.

I don't bear grudges though, and I forgave him a few years ago.
 
Another time, I'd arranged a friendly game between a team I organised, and another local team in our village. Both veterans teams, and Danny McIlroy played for them.

I did a write up on our club website, and took the Mickey out of McIlroy big time, as he was manager of Northern Ireland at the time, with a very poor record.

All McIlroy's mates took offence on his behalf. McIlroy knew nothing about it as he didn't use the internet. Ai I suppose this was being hated by proxy.

Should of got hold of Sammy instead
 
Bobby Charlton, although he doesn’t know me from Adam!

I played in a charity game at Macclesfield’s ground with some very big names. I was YOUNG and was apparently expected to chase everything and then give it to some famous ****.

I chased down a ball, brought it forward, passed it to Bobby Charlton. He lost it almost immediately and I just looked at him deadpan with a “What the fuck?!” look on my face. He was not amused and told me (in no uncertain terms) to go get the ball back!

My Dad was a mate of his and was playing too, so I ran as fast as I could to get the ball back…FOR MY DAD!

I had seen Charlton almost push a kid backwards downstairs at an Altrincham game when the kid went for an autograph. He pushed him, but the kid saved himself! From that day I thought he was a ****!

We saw him (as a family) in Manchester Airport once. He was all tan and coming from some fancy football camp overseas and we were white as ghosts going on holiday to somewhere. I hung back because I didn’t like him, but my Mum & Dad were very chatty. He got noticed a lot, but didn’t acknowledge anyone.

Tbf, when you’re Bobby Charlton in and around Manchester, I would imagine it’d get tiresome, so…
