Recommended Posts

Met most/all of the players/management from the O'Neill era right through to current times.

Alot of other players and legends from other clubs.

Muzzy gave way to me at a junction when it was his right of way :worship::giggle:

I unintentionally rugby tackled Martin Johnson...I came of worse as you'd imagine - When I was about 6 or 7 my Mum and Dad used to go to a Gym in Hinckley and a few of Tigers lads trained there, basically I was running into the changing rooms to my Dad, just as I went to push the door open, Martin Johnson opened it, I carried on through straight into Martin Johnson and it sent my flying back on my arse. :cool::giggle:

I was also standing next to the tunnel when the players came back in, so was very close to the Man Utd squad :o

05/06 I was mascot and met the City squad.

I have actually met more footy stars then i have realised.

My Dad knows this woman in Halifax in town (Peterborough), she is a Palace fan and she works with Darren Kenton's brother in there. So she managed to get acccess into the players lounge after the game vs Palace in October 06 thanks to Kenton's brother. We wnt and got all the City autographs and also managed James Scowcroft's too as he was in there and was the key player for the opposition in the programme.

Micky Adams-Shook his hand after a reserve game in Ketttering.

Mark DeVries-Sat behind me and my Dad at the Walkers for Tigers vs Toulouse. My Dad told him how he had not played well in the first couple of months he had played in and basically tells him how shite he was. He went and scored the next City game with my Dad taking all the credit for it with his words of inspiration!

Barry Fry (hardly worth talking about but what the hell)-Saw Barry in the Thorney (village I live in just outside Peterborough) chippy he was on his way to Kings Lynn for a friendly Posh had with them.
