Met that gordondaviesmoustache once. He was a right poncey, stuck-up twat.

I've met a few ex players and on the whole they've been great, the one who disappointed and was an utter bell end was Buzzer, no time for him now and I cringe when I see him.

Bumped into Buzzer at Manchester Airport a few years ago , he was with his missus , and we took the same lift , told him i was a big blue and it was a pleasure to watch him play , chatted with him for a couple of minutes when we got out of the lift and couldnt have met a nicer more down to earth bloke. He was boarding a plane to Milan so probably looking forward to his holidays and in an approchable mood.

Yeah but you might be the tenth person that day asking for a pic or an autograph,or they might be trying to eat with their families,they might have just had a Barney with the wife and be pissed off,i don't think you should expect them to be nice to everyone because they get paid well,talented people are not reality nobodies who have to spend all day doing selfies to stay in the public eye either

It’s funny, cos personally I tend to agree with you, in the sense that in those circumstances I would never go over and speak to them or disturb them, or even say hello. But I know others would, and I don’t think it’s right if they are rude to people who are polite and gracious to them.

Met Richard Edgehill in the failsworth co-op car park, me and my dad ran out of the millgate to get his autograph on a beer mat. He was brilliant. he did say we'd stay up though and we didn't, but I won't blame him. There was plenty of that to come...

Been mentioned on here a few times, good player who got worn down.

Non-City related I used to work on the railway in the 1990s and would run into Graeme Sharp quite frequently, at the time he wasn't driving(maybe a driving ban don't know), but even though I didn't care for him as a player he was a really nice guy in person.

I think he is a bit deaf isn't he?

This was 20 plus years ago, don't think he was deaf then, just an utter bell end.

Mike Sheron was a nice lad

Met him a couple of times

lol, The Boo, don’t get me started! After doing ‘The North Face’ of the A6, ending up in there you were never at your best.
Never ventured to Acton Court, but did visit The Valley Lodge, Hamilton’s, and the mighty Quaffers. None could match Rotters of course, but boy they tried.

I nearly married a barmaid from Quaffers, used to live over the road from stepping hill, first house when I was 17, interesting days, you didn’t mind getting in a ruck in the boo unless it was with the ladies ;-) special mention to the grove inn for the odd balls
