Encountering City players / staff in everyday life

I used to have lunch with Mike Summerbee in the early 1970's as he was a regular in my mum's cafe. George Best was sometimes with him, who was quiet and shy believe it or not. Buzzer wasn't.
Nicky Summerbee, in the Oast House in Spinningfields.
David White around Xmas 2012 when we did something together for Radio 5 Live at Media City. John Hartson was also there as was Fanzone Danny. Also saw Noel Gallagher in the coffee shop there that day.
Gary Owen in Madrid, September 2012 when we played there. He was with Kevin Parker and pleasantly pissed.
Colin Bell, Dennis Tueart, Joe Corrigan, Glyn Pardoe, Tommy Booth & Steve Fleet at the launch of Gary James' 'Manchester: The City Years' book. Think that was August 2012. Also had a good chat to DJ Mark Riley at the same event and then CEO Graham Wallace, who took a picture of me with King Colin.
Franny Lee, when getting out of his car at a home game. Does that count?
Maybe not quite everyday life this one but was invited to the team hotel in London the night before a game at Arsenal and met:
SWP, Carlos Tevez, Micah Richards, Dedryck Boyata, Joleon Lescott, Shay Given, Roberto Mancini plus saw Mario and VK.
David Bernstein, who I had lunch with, in 2006.
Kenny Clements. Can't remember when but he was a driving instructor and I was sat at some traffic lights in Oldham alongside him and a pupil.
Barney Daniels in a few places. He worked with my ex and we bumped into him in Asda on Pilsworth, then I used to see him in the Roch Bank pub on Hollins. Also he was our relief postie when the normal guy was off.
Eyal Berkovic and his family in the car park of Prestwich Lidl.

Non-City:
Liverpool owner John W Henry at Victoria Station in London.
John Hartson (as above) at Media City.
Teddy Sheringham on an escalator at Heathrow.
The late Matthew Harding, outside his office in the City of London.
Ramires, just after he signed for Chelsea, in the First Class Lounge at Euston Station. I think they were playing us that weekend.
Sat behind Ian Rush on a plane back from Dublin.
Never met either but spoken on the phone to Ron Gourlay, the former Chelsea CEO, a couple of times in 2010 and to Claudio Ranieri on Xmas Day again in 2010.

Fuck me, you must have been fucking buzzing when you saw this thread title. Did you pay someone to make it? ;-)
 
Bumped into Yaya the week of the semi final in 2011. I pleaded with him to beat the scum. He smiled and told me not to worry as we would win and "I will score I promise!". Man of his word!

Swales and Bish at Warrington Supporters club 1989. Swales was there the night we had strippers. Bish nearly signed a bank mandate for us until his agent stopped him.
Neil Pointon bought a house off us in Chorley Rd, Bolton. Recently met Garry MCCallister when he was looking to buy a large Villa in Leeds and then bumped into him at Roundhey Park with his kids.
 
Going for tea at Stephen Ireland's house was probably the most surreal moment of my life.
 
Asa Hartford pissed up in the press club with some good looking blonde half his age who worked in the ticket office. She give me her number and said if i needed away tickets to give her a ring (never did) also sorted me out with a few lines :)

My brother stayed at Terry Phelan house once and confirmed he is a daft rag cnut.

Think I might know her. Won't say her name, but was she from Middleton?
 
Met a few:

Sat with Shaun Goater and his wife in the players lounge at Maine Road
Tony Book, Vieria at the legendary mannings Embassey Club
Peter Barnes, Ian Brightwell, Richard Edghill in the legends lounge along with Fred Eyre
Tommy Booth in Wetherspoons in Middleton
Peter Swales in a now gone pub called the Broadway tavern mid 1990's
See Brian Kidd most days walking his dog around where I live
Met Mark Kenneday, Danny Tiatto, the Whitley brothers and Nicky weaver in a bar at deansgate locks
Met Steve McMahon in the salutation pub, he had just finished training and was having a pint before home, I was dodging some lecture
Will Greenwood at the recent Arsenal game
Miserable Noel Gallagher at the palace match earlier in the season. Asked for a photo of my son with him but he moaned if he did one photo everyone would want one. Wish I had now asked Mike Pickering instead. I will the next time, I hope I get the change to ask Noel to actually take the picture.
Kompany, Sergio in abu dhabi and Mike Summerbee.
