Not a City player encounter, but I once trod in a roadside turd deposited by a certain hard-drinking ex-rag manager.
i bumped into Negredo in disneyland paris in 2014.........(negredo is the one with the beard just in case your wondering :-)
ive also met Craig Bellamy a few times around Cardiff.
Not city related but ive also had a piss next to dion dublin at the madjeski stadium in the late 1990's and Roger Hunt the formula 1 world champion held me when i was a baby back in 1975 but my mum has lost the photo :-(

One of the current medical staff sorted out my back a couple of years ago.
Ronaldo used to go in Total Fitness in Wilmslow and I saw him on Water St as well once, to be honest he's an impressive looking chap.
I cooked Peter Reids meals when I worked at BUPA Whalley Range and went up to see him, really nice guy.
Alex Furguson is a cafe in Wilmslow last year, looked very old and a bit confused.

About a month after he'd signed I drove past just at the right/wrong time to see Mario smash his Audi R8 into the side of a Merc which pulled out in front of him on Chester Rd, just off the Mancuian Way roundabout. Pulled over to say I witnessed it all but the other driver had already admitted he was at fault and wanted to fuck off quickly when another car of Mario's mates turned up.

Dont know if this counts but...Around the time Franny took over i went to the souvenir shop at maine road for a 68 home shirt, i eventually got Summerbee and a no7 on the back..anyway driving away from Maine road just past the Main Stand entrance i see Buzzer talking to some dude outside a door obviously that lead into the ground, so i quickly headed towards him and the dude and just when i got there they had ended their convo and Buzzer was just about to go through the said door and closing it behind him when i jumped out of the car and shouts Mike Mike, he pops his head out the door and i said could you sign my shirt please? he simply said NO he was to busy and had to go...i shrugged it off and in 2004 my EX had a little girl and i persuaded her that the daughter be called Summerbee.
Anyway, my Daughter was around 4months old and on my birthday in mid november my EX was acting a little strange in the days leading upto my birthday, we were playing Blackburn on the Saturday at home(etihad) and she was hinting that i look smart, wear something a bit smarter than my jeans, now she knows how i simply dislike anything like that but i humored her..anyway she said as its my birthday she would drive me to the game and collect me,so i was obv fine with this and had a bit of a sesh already on my mind. So the day came and as she had promised we sets off around lunchtime which i thought was a tad early but went along anyhow...She parks the car in one of the designated spots outside the ground and i was like, you cant park here!! she said OH YES I CAN and proceeded to get her and little Summerbee out the car..i said what why where how type thing and she said just follow me...so here we are, heading towards the main entrance, baby in arms and am thinking wow, she must have set up a lunch or something in the City restaurant, or something???????? We gets to the main entrance and she approached a steward dude and had a whisper to him, 2 minutes later Buzzer came out the door and said Hi, happy birthday, follow me..WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUKINGHELL..My EX was just smiling and i was just in dreamland..We gets in the lift, me, Mike and obv my EX holding the baby... He takes us through alsorts of doors and finally stops in this lovely room with dickie bowed up guy behind a little bar, he then introduces me to the bloke and said ANYTHING at all i need then this guy will get you, this is your day and you will be sitting in my seat for the game as i will be flitting about and my wife Tina cant make it today so you and your Mrs have our tickets..WTF WTF WTF WTF WTFUUUUUUUUUK... Then, in walks Tony Book and his wife Sylvia(iirc), we chatted like old mates and his Mrs was telling us how much Booky simply loved the matchday and has not changed one bit since his playing days, his love for the club is greater than his love for her blah blah..top top people.
So, we then takes our seats on what was a truly bitter bitter cold day and at halftime my EX takes our little one inside as it really was Bitterly cold,, so there we were mixing it with ALL my heroes,i was drinking the finest Brandy on tap and all freeeeeee and seemingly the more i drank it wasnt really affecting me such was the day..I went out for the second half and it was that cold there was hardly anyone on our row, even the ex mrs stayed inside with the baby, wisely..Anyway, the 2nd half got underway and i looked along the row and sat next but one seat to me and the only person on the row was Mr Francis Lee..i said hello Francis, he said hello and i believe its a happy birthday to you:):):):)..the game went on and City were awful, i looked at franny after yet another poor bit of play and said this is dreadful, he said "i hear you" and throughout the game he kept putting his hands upto his face as if WTF..Oh and Mr Pearce was then the 2nd in command and throughout the 1st half was sat at the end of the aisle just one seat from me(ish), he was manager soon after iirc...
I forgot to say that before kick off (approx 45mins(ish) Mike wouldnt let go of little Summerbee, holding her in his arms it was like his own kid, he was beaming and proceeded to go to the dressing room, knocks on and opens the door and shouts Keegan and one or two other players out, Distain and iirc sweep came out to see what was happening and Mike proudly pointing at the little n told Keegan et al what the fuss was about, "Summerbee, Summerbee he kept saying and pointing at her as she was in his arms..keegan just shook his head and said "you do know you wont get your kid back now dont you", Distain had a chuckle and stroked her head saying she was beautiful then they all fukd off back in the dressing room and Mike took us down the tunnel and round the edge of the pitch for Photos..He then said anytime i am stuck for tickets then give him a bell, i inturn said tbh mike i am a season ticket holder and would much prefer it in 111:):):).
The day came and went and when i asked the EX how on earth she had managed it she said she had rang up City asking how she could set something up for me?? fuk knows how she managed it but her words where "i finally got through to some bloke who told me to come down to the ground and have a quick chat with him, it was an oldish guy and when i finally got in the room and chatted with him and he was very nice and very clear in speaking"..yip, it was only John fukin Wardle lol and he had set the whole thing up.
I have never told that story publicly as i hate to name drop and am really not into the fuss and mither but thought i would share it here..
Also i am not very good at writing essays or paragraphs and am sorry if it was long winded and boring. Peace out blues, CTWD.
