Never meet your heroes.....

[Jogon 127]

Being a Kinky loyalist I was utterly devastated when he completely blanked me when I tried letting on at the Trafford Centre bitd (he was at the cinema for the East is East premiere iirc). Naturally his Mrs was 9/10 and about 3” taller! Still hurts to this day....not fit to lace Spanish Dave’s boots the twat.

Tricky Trevor Sinclair obliged with a friendly wave (same venue different day) when I shouted to him ‘how’s it going Trev?’ Truth was I couldn’t place him and knew his name only after his reply did the penny drop who it was....nice chap.

Pissed up in Cardiff (after Rags v Wigan LCF long story). Bumped into Jeff Whitley who was equally pissed (did he play for Cardiff?) who proceeded to slag off Keegan for a full 30 minutes, saying that Pearce was Keegan’s teachers pet/snitch.

Bert Trautmann....absolute gent as was Sir Tom Finney.

Tommy Booth, what a prick when I met him.

Met Pep, Phil Foden, Joe Hart, Mahrez and a few others at Manchester airport when they we’re heading to Chicago a few years ago. Pep, Foden and Hart were class with my little lad who had a city shirt on and city back pack. Mahrez was a right misery. Should of known bloody mahrez.

Met Tommy Booth years after he finished playing same with Peter Barnes nice blokes.

Tueart, Lomas, Goater, Doyle, Lee, Buzzer, Huckerbey and Dyson also very nice. But none of those were planned, just happened.

I've in the main tried not to meet players as I think I've been lucky & a lot of them in general would be a bit arsey I'd imagine possibly from being muthrred all the time.

When I was a kid we went to see City train, it was when Alan Ball was manager.

My younger brother, probs about 6, gets his hair messed up by Alan Ball as we all had a pic with him (along with the players). My two older brothers (i was about 8 so joined in now and again) told the younger brother for about 3 years Alan Ball cursed him anytime we would play football and he'd fuck up. Right set of bastards we we're!

Met Lakey on the train going to the parade in 2011, was packed out and he got on at Davenport and I just shouted out there's lakey like a big kid, cue everyone straining their neck looking at me but I didn't give a shit.
When we got off at Piccadilly I said any chance of a photo and he duly obliged, he was with his family I might add but he had time for fans asking for photos/autographs. He's my favourite ever city player, my definite hero and to meet him, talk to him and get a photo was the icing on the cake of a great season.
