[EdsBlue]

Denis Tueart.Came out with some dull platitude when I saw him hanging up his coat jacket in his Merc in town once. And this was around the time we looked like sinking into the obscurity of the lower leagues.

Met all the players and backroom staff when I sorted out the team suit for the 99 playoff ! Sold Niall Quinn a couple of suits when he was commentating at the World Cup ( He'd done his Cruciate and could'nt play ) ! Dave White comes into my shop regularly as does Andy Dibble ! Most recently, Monday just gone Robinhos Dad was with Robbies Agent picking up his suits - was gutted because one of the lads at work speaks Portuguese, incidentally the Agent mentioned Jo's and Elano's name whilst on his Mobile !

I once saw Trevor Sinclair in a petrol station on Princess Road. He bought his petrol then sat in his car reading the paper - whilst still at the pump. Nicky Summerbee once gave me a 2 fingured salute. I was in the kippax though so it might not have been aimed at me.

I once met Andy Dibble in the reception of the solicitors that I worked at and my old boss used to have an apartment in Hale where un***d also owned an apartment. I once partied 2 doors down from Kanchelski's or Sherringham or which ever idiot lived there at the time

Oh and Kinky nearly ran me over at COMS last year

Bannister Prston Ormerod by any chance ?

MVF(RIP) taking photos of me in the gym! ( Well probably taking photos of the gym with me in it)

I take it you are a Timperley lad IFeedGoats ?
I assume the gym is at The Marriott in Hale ?
A very good mate of mine purposely parked in front of John O'Shea's car so that he could'nt move off and when John politely asked to be let out was repeatedly told to "Fuck off" ! Same mate also sang Elephant Man to Steve Bruce in the Up and Down bar !

Bumped into Clive Allen outside the Rex in Wilmslow, and on another occasion Kevin Reeves near a building society in Grove Street.

As a kid back then I asked Reeves for his autograph, and as I wasn't holding anything he whipped out his chequebook and jokingly asked if I'd like him to endorse of these with a few numbers on it too.

Was walking in a village in Kefalonia June 1991 when I saw Gary Megson pushing a pram. He'd just finished playing for us and he spotted that I'd recognised him. I didn't want to bother him but he crossed the road to have a word. Seemed chuffed to have been recognised.

When I lived in Burnage Dennis Tuert pulled up on Parrswood Road and asked for directions to Maine Road ! Didn't dawn on me till he'd gone who it was.
