josh_baskin Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 I was standing at the front of the queue today at the baggage checking terminal with my parter at George Best, Belfast City Airport around 4pm today when i noticed a man with his young toddler son with matching orban hair and his very attractive wife. Hardly a shock to see him at a Belfast airport i know but it was Neil Lennon who was getting on a Flybe flight to Glasgow. I really wanted to ask him if he had any interest in the post available at city but i didnt want to seem intrusive as he was holding his son and his wife seemed to be having problems with the baggage.
Matt Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 My mum was in Dublin last week and Niall Quinn was on the same flight as her. Nothing to do with this really, just saying she saw an ex footballer at an airport...
Daggers Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 ...his wife seemed to be having problems with the baggage. They all come with it, the trick is to smile and nod so that they think you are listening and agreeing.
Moreton Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 They all come with it, the trick is to smile and nod so that they think you are listening and agreeing. I was in the car park out side Toys R'us when i Bumped into Emile Heskey
Guest Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 They all come with it, the trick is to smile and nod so that they think you are listening and agreeing. That's the easy bit, don't forget we will test you on it at a later date.
Matt Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 I was in the car park out side Toys R'us when i Bumped into Emile Heskey Did he fall over?
josh_baskin Posted 2 June 2008 Author Posted 2 June 2008 I just kind of clammed up big style and the second he was out of reach for me to converse i thought of about a million and one LCFC related things i wanted to ask him.
dandannieldanok Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 Ahhh reminds of the time back in November of last year when I boarded the same flight as Bruno N'Gotty with his wife and kid only to board the same flight back as Bruno N'Gotty, wifeless and kidless I'll never forget the nod of appreciation when I called out "Bruno!" across the passport control hall.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 I met him the summer after he left LCFC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...tic/1439081.stm - Holloway was QPR manager. I wasn't expecting to see him, it was at Loftus Road and the Celtic team had got back on their bus. I just opened a door and Lennon was stood right in front of me. Bearing in mind it was at a QPR v Celtic friendly in London, he spoke first - taking a quick glance at my Leicester shirt... "What the **** are you doing here?"

I'm damned if I'm waiting for sequels - is there somewhere I can download the entire story so I can finish it all off tonight?
MikeyT Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 I was driving through town about a month ago and was stopped at the traffic lights near St Margarets bus station waiting for them to change to green and i had Stearman in front of me in his really cheap looking car . Just thought id share that piece of useless info with everyone!
Webbo Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 I was once with Brian Little in the departure lounge at EMA but I didn't want to intrude and talk to him either.
sdb Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 I was in the car park out side Toys R'us when i Bumped into Emile Heskey i'd have hugged him and never let go
Fez of Mahrez Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 I was once with Brian Little in the departure lounge at EMA but I didn't want to intrude and talk to him either. Ooooooooooooooooooooooh yeah. Dear diary. Jackpot.
lildave3 Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 Ooooooooooooooooooooooh yeah.Dear diary. Jackpot. Giggidy.

I'm damned if I'm waiting for sequels - is there somewhere I can download the entire story so I can finish it all off tonight? It was my 17th birthday, I went with a mate of mine who supported Celtic. I sort of stammered that I wanted to come down and see how him and O'Neill were getting on, so he said "ah right". Then I was stuck for something else to say and stupidly blurted out "good news about Muzzy" cos Izzet had just said he was staying with us rather than going to Celtic. He looked at me as if I was an absolute moron and went "for youse lot, yeah" and walked off. It's great meeting your sporting heroes. Next week - how I got told off by Curtly Ambrose for being rude when I was 11 (that's actually a true story).

dandannieldanok Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 i'd have hugged him and never let go One of my friend's cousins was married to Heskey (not sure how long ago now), and Emile used to buy him and his brother loads of stuff (including the use of his executive box at Anfield when Leicester played there in 2003/2004) and go round their house. Lucky bastard.
Flynny Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 Walshy was in town today. I did a double take and stared a second too long. On his phone on High Street. Hardly postworthy but while we're here, innit.
Finchy Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 Last year i was sitting next to Trevor Francis in the departure lounge at Coventry airport (aka a garage) while we waited for a flight to Barcelona, i think he was going to commentate on a Champions League game. He's not my hero i just thought i'd mention it because there seems to be a airport theme going on. I met my hero Muzzy Izzet on the open top bus parade in 1996
Monk Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 I met Neil Lewis & Jamie Lawrence down a back street and they challenged me to a duel. I won
Mr Happy Posted 2 June 2008 Posted 2 June 2008 Walshy was in town today. I did a double take and stared a second too long. On his phone on High Street.Hardly postworthy but while we're here, innit. I almost ran over Walshy on my bicycle, he was walking along narbourough road talking on his phone :w00t: Couldn't believe it was him
turkish14 Posted 3 June 2008 Posted 3 June 2008 couple of weeks back seen stearz,weso and mattock outside the noodle bar up by bbc radio leicester,was goin to post but thought someone off here may go and lynch them,as we'd just got relegated also if the lads did eat here,they certainly have class........
