Benjani Posted 4 June 2008 Posted 4 June 2008 The most well known sportsman i've bumped into was Jimmy White walking through Northampton
lavrentis Posted 4 June 2008 Posted 4 June 2008 Well I shook Barry Hayles hand before the Wednesday game. True story but hardly worthy.
Uncle Albert Posted 4 June 2008 Posted 4 June 2008 Best sportsman I have been in the vicinity is David Beckham and Gary Neville at Filbert Street when he was injured. I sat directly behind him.
AoWW Posted 5 June 2008 Posted 5 June 2008 I saw Ian Marshall in town once, and if you didn't know he was a footballer you'd think he was a tramp, bless him.I also saw Pat Roach outside Irish Menswear. Top that Ian Marshall once asked me out, back in the days when he was at Ipswich. 'bout an hour later he threw up on my shoes. I was unimpressed. A couple of years after that he stalked me to Leicester! I'd only been up there about a week, having just started Uni - waltzed into Brannigans - and tripped over Marshall. Still, I got a drink or two out of him!
Simi Posted 5 June 2008 Posted 5 June 2008 My mum's mates son is Blake, who is married to Amy Winehouse.
AoWW Posted 5 June 2008 Posted 5 June 2008 My mum's mates son is Blake, who is married to Amy Winehouse. Amy Winehouse is a sporting hero?
Simi Posted 5 June 2008 Posted 5 June 2008 Amy Winehouse is a sporting hero? Had to drop it in somwhere!
Guest Posted 5 June 2008 Posted 5 June 2008 I saw 50 cent in Morrisons last week. What's that in pounds sterling?
Alexikokopops Posted 5 June 2008 Posted 5 June 2008 On airport related meetings, ol' El Tel was on my plain back from Spain a few weeks back. As an aside, I learnt yesterday that my sister's lodger used to work in the Hilton in Leicester and used to bump into Leicester players all the time. Apparently Ian Walker used to come in, get drunk, play the piano and sing. Lovely stuff.
cecchini Posted 6 June 2008 Posted 6 June 2008 Frankie Wortho and Gary Lineker used to get their shoes/boots fixed in my dads shoe repair shop on silver street.

Apparently Ian Walker used to come in, get drunk, play the piano and sing. Lovely stuff. I bet he used to play Boys II Men stuff. I can see it now. As an aside, I was in the same hotel as Dirty Leeds the night before Cardiff knocked them out of the FACup.
Vacamion Posted 7 June 2008 Posted 7 June 2008 Souness at Manchester Airport. He's bleedin TINY - how he was ever a tough tackling midfielder is beyond me...
harpendenfox Posted 7 June 2008 Posted 7 June 2008 I had lunch with Don Bradman at an England v Australia test in Adelaide in the 90s. I think I may even have managed to say a few words
Ricosas Adianski Posted 7 June 2008 Posted 7 June 2008 I Happened To Run Into The Whole City team In East Midlands Airport While They Were On There Way To Play Plymouth Away A Few Years Ago
FilboFox Posted 8 June 2008 Posted 8 June 2008 Gary Lineker came to my school in Belgium once and so I got to meet him and shake his hand... he was impressed that he had found a Leicester supporter in Belgium, this despite being at an British school in Belgium! Still, at least I met the great man himself!
