Have you ever met a footballer on holiday?

Met Paul Brooker in Alcudia on the Northern part of Majorca back in 2002

Still remember his face when one of our group of 8 see him walk onto the beach with his mates and go "Its Bozza" - He didn't have to say anything but i'm guessing "oh shit" went through his head. Was polite though and did the pics !!!

He was completely trolleyed on the nights he was out (inc asleep in one bar) and on one night where i was in after the night before the others met Paul Terry with him. Our very own Lee Steele was also driving up to meet them but got lost on the way and gave up.

Steve McManaman in a cafe in Polis, Cyprus. He seemed like a really nice bloke.

Harry Redknapp in the Shell Bay Restaurant, Dorset. He spent most of the time on the phone despite being there with his wife and a couple of friends!

I've had most of my encounters with footballers at race tracks. Chatted with Le Tissier at Goodwood, and both Kevin Campbell and Michael Owen at Wolverhampton. Le Tiss and Campbell were great company.
