Have you ever met a footballer on holiday?

[oldboyroy]

I stayed in same hotel with Gary Stevens and his family (Everton 1) in Cyprus many years ago!!!

I saw Emile Heskey on holiday once, he is officially the size of a house :u0

I met McCloud at Alton Towers last year.

Don't be ridiculous !!

The evidence is on this very board in June last year....

Rio Ferdinand nearly crashed his car into mine when I was up in Manchester. Wilmslow, actually.

Does that count?

Spoke to Joe Cole in June 2008 in Discovery Cove, Florida. Top bloke! His missus looked well fit in a bikini!

I was lucky enough to meet Wes Brown & Kevin Phillips this May, my seven year old was lucky enough to have a kick about with KP.

Was that in The Gran Melia, Tenerife? James Beattie was there too.

john gannon sheffield utd , bumped into him and a 2nd cousin of mine on holiday in magaluf 1989, also spoke to colin harvey the everton manager on the same holiday.

I'm amazed at how many people have met a footballer on holiday.

I never have but have stayed at the same hotel as Kim Barnett, ex-Derby and England cricketer- not quite the same thing though.

Yes, John Terry on a EASYJET flight to Tenerife. Rude to us too!

I didn't meet but was walking slightly ahead of Bryan Robson at Sea World in Orlando in 1996. He looked an arrogant dick walking with his hands in his pockets whilst his wife (I assume) was walking about 10 yrds behind carrying about 6 rucksacks and bags. Looked like there were about 4 or 5 kids with them.

I met Ruud Van Nistlerooy in a pizza restaurant in San Fransisco just before the World Cup in 2002 - which explains why he was there

We were walking along the front in Porto Banus 5 years ago when I said to my missus, ''That looks like Bobby Zamora going up the steps into that nightclub''...... ''Cooey Bobby'' she says in her drunken manner and follows that up with a quick ''Seagulls'', and I`m fully expecting him to smile and get into this swanky club as quickly as possible but he doesn`t instead he tells his mates to hang on a mo (Jodie someone ex Chelsea) and comes back down the stairs and has a chat with us.

Quality bloke is Bobby.

I met Phil Neal in Puerto Banus many years ago, and was directed to my villa later that day by Lionel Blair
Bjorn Borg was apparently there too, but didn't see him.

 

[smudge]

Met Joe Corrigan when he came on a cruise on my ship. He was highly amused when I asked him, "Are you the famous GK, Joe Corrigan?" "Yes" he replied.
"Ex Brighton?"
You had to be there.

Let Mike Small & Johnny Byrne have it the Pink Coconut one Sat' night after a thrashing at Oldham. They took it well to be fair.
