Unwitting Footballer Encounters

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

Waiting for my flight back to MCR from Barcelona, and all of the Barca team stream past us to board their flight - they were off to play Arsenal in the Champions league final.

Just to be clear about my like of this post: I don’t condone what that blue did, but this got a chuckle, so worthy of a like. ;-)

Over his head? And was it chuckle 1 or 2?

You’ve broken the code! ;-)

I bumped into James Milner at Universal queuing a couple weeks ago in Florida.

Couldn't fecking believe it. People were asking for autographs but the kids in our group all had City tops on and so there was zero interaction.

I know it was killing him inside not being acknowledged by us for the best part of an hour waiting for Gringots ride.

Probably thought we were glory hunting yanks!

Should have made a comment about being LEFT at the BACK of the queue in your finest Manc accent, that would have cheered him up no end.

I knew you were notorious mate, but people should leave you alone when you're on holiday

Bruce Grobbelaar in a bar in San Francisco.
Conversation was a cracker
“So Bruce What you up to in San Francisco? -pause- During Gay Pride week?”

Was he there for the same reason as you :)

. . . and once he was in the middle of the queue @tolmie's hairdoo should have shouted, "Look James, you're finally in the center of something."

Met Andy Gray (the ex-Palace player, not the Scottish one) at a stag do. He was a football agent then, probably still is. Great bloke. Shit at quad-biking though.
