I made the mistake of asking bobby charlton for his autograph in 1968 ish.
He told me to bugger off, the miserable twat.
I'm glad his head wobbles all the time. The size of it is beyond the human body's ability to control it.
Was going to post about a few people I have met as an Airline Pilot, but this post stopped me in my tracks! Was it at Altrincham's ground? My dad used to play there for Freddie Pye and Bobby Charlton was in the Director's Box. I watched a little kid climb the STEEP steps upto the box, only to be pushed half way back down by that rag! I was shocked, because Charlton was a good friend of Freddie Pye and my father. I talked to my dad about it (I was only a nipper at the time) and he said it must have been a mistake, but that timeframe is about when it happened. Was it you?
A few Top Men:
Muhammed Ali
Tony Hawk (skateboarder/video game billionaire!)
Denis Law (I know, I know, but he IS a top man!)
Dennis Tueart (very gracious to me at Maine Road)
Rodney Marsh (met him at Maine Road and played against him when he was with the Rowdies)
Kaz Deyna (Played in a game with him at San Diego Sockers)
Ken Barnes (Pete's dad and City Chief Scout for donkey's years)
and woman:
Shirley Manson, lead singer of Garbage. Sat next to her on a flight after a TV appearance. Well fit... and polite!
and........Barack Obama! Met him outside a Chicago White Sox Baseball game with my son. He had two LARGE bodyguards with him and people were starting to leave, but he stopped to talk to an old man in a wheelchair BEFORE he was running for Prez. Took my son over and told him, "Son, this man is going to be the first African American President of the United States!" He turned to us, smiled and went back to talking to the old guy in the chair. This was almost 4 years ago when he was an Illinois Senator. Worked on his behalf during the election, voted for him, and not too big to say I shed a tear for him the night he won and when he was sworn in just over a week ago!
Total tw@ts!
The rock group Blondie (and I had her poster on my bedroom ceiling during my teens and we went to their concerts). Had them on a flight and they acted like stupid teenagers in the terminal in L.A. Sad part, they are all in their 50's (at least!)
