Last April I was at Manchester airport with my family ready to jet off to Tenerife
We were stood at the embarkation gate on one of the piers waiting for our row numbers to be called and as I'm stood facing my Mrs looking down the pier, I can see this bloke walking up with a fit bird who dwarfed him and she looked about 6ft 2
As we blokes do, we try our hardest not to take a butchers at the fit bird when we're stood with our wives, but as this couple got closer I couldn't help myself, only to see that the bloke was Zabba
As he walked past I said, "Eh up Pablo" He looked smiled and said "yeah, good" (I got the feeling that he didn't think he was going to be recognised)
Him and his bird continued to walk up the pier and I said to my wife and kids "Pablo Zabaleta, you know, plays for City" My kids went mad "Aww Dad really!! Can you ask him for a picture?" To which I totally refused. There's no way I'm hasseling a bloke who's off for a couple of days break
They went to the gate where there was a Barcelona flight
When he answered "yeah good" I very nearly said "You are coming back aren't you?"
