Oh go on then...
Went to a club in central London a couple of Christmases ago and drunkenly stumbled upon Michael Essien. He was very nice about the fact that I interrupted his conversation to shake his hand. Told him he was a 'great guy' (don't know where that came from) and staggered off without another word. My housemate also met him that night later on and the funnest thing was neither of us remembered it the next morning until we saw the evidence on Facebook.
Also met Tony Adams at a charity football match. He hadn't retired yet so had a chat to him about our recent cup game against Newcastle. Was a nice guy, very genuine. Also met Chris Powell and Garth Crooks at that same match. 😆
Have also seen Ray Stubbs, Mark Lawrenson and Lee Dixon in my local. Saw Dixon for a second time when he was off to do commentary for the Euros 08. Was oddly nervous about talking to him when I got off the plane but a couple of lads were asking him whether Nasri would sign. Those were the days...
...and finally Pele came to my office last year to sign an advertising rights agreement in the run-up to Rio 14.
