Crap claim to fames involving City players

Recommended Posts

I fell over Emile Heskey whilst walking down some steps at Filbert Street in 1998. I'd been for a birthday meal at one of the restaurants there with my grandparents and the entire team were downstairs I believe waiting to go and have their team photo taken (although I'm not sure of that fact as why would that be done in February!?!) He was sitting on the steps and well he's such a big guy I couldn't really avoid him! He was very polite though :blush:

I was so embarrassed that I ran off into the car park! I didn't speak to a single on of them (well only to say sorry to Heskey)

Met Peter Shilton in a car park where he was picking up his nephew, whom i went to school with..

Took the piss out of Mattock in the Fairfield in Glen Parva...he thought he was a bad ass drinking malibu and coke at 17

A work colleague of my mother is Emile Heskey's aunt.

I was told to stay in school by Dion Dublin.

My mother sees Dany N'Guessen on a regular basis dropping his son off at nursery.

The guys that delivered our sofa delivered one to Joe Mattock. They asked him who picked the squad (during the 07/08 season) - He said Mandaric.

My uncle went to school with Dion Dublin's brother.

I went to the same school as Gary Linekar.

One of my old teachers is Peter Shilton's something-in-law (i think father)

(How many more do you need :cool: )

ooooooooh how could i forget, i played at the walkers in the summer (hottest bloody day of the year), Matt Elliott was there running the kids tournament beforehand, and asked if he could play with our team in the match, we said no, lol

When I was 10, richard smith and lee philpott came to train my football team, I tried to tackle Richard Smith but subsequently kicked him.

and also, richard smith is a regular at the resataunt/pub i worked at. he brought iwan roberts and then a load of family out for a meal, one of the kids smashed his teeth on the playarea fence, threatened us about sueing, then iwan roberts didnt pay his bill and richard smith had to pay. (he now owns his own skip hire firm BASH skip hire, if anyone needs one lol)

I once had a kickaround which involved Jamie Lawrence playing in goal. He was on his knees (small 5 aside goal) and we were quite young. No one could score so I told him to stand up to give us a chance. He refused. This was at the Leicester United v City game in Blaby. I think it was 0-6 city?

When I was a kid we would have the Birch round for Sunday dinner (along time ago when he actually played)

Dion Dublins brother worked for me and my wife works with his sister

Walshy tried to pull my wife

When we used to go to The Griffin for the pub quiz there, Birch used to call my brother and his two mates Freeman, Hardy and Willis for no reason whatsoever.

Oh how I chuckled

An aquiantace of my dad knows Mattock's dad, apparently he's an arse aswell.

Yes that is true I knew him as a kid growing up.

I was playing table tennis a fair few years ago in a league match. One of the other teams players had a young lad acting as ball boy for us. It was our Emile, he had played 2 games for city when it happened.

I have a picture with Gallagher on my Facebook to prove mine ;)

Me too :thumbup:

Actually I was lying.

Rofe sold my Dad a freezer, not a fridge.

I met Aman Verma's mum in O'bar a few weeks back!

Nice lady, very knowledgeable on footy, she'd just been to watch him play @ Fleetwood as I recall.

Does that count?

Ian Marshall, Matt Elliott, Gary Mills, Alan Birchenall and Julian Joachim all reguarly drink in my uncles pub in town.

Also met Muzzy Izzet at the Munroe fight in Coventry

Spent 35 years in England and never met anyone who played for Leicester.

Moved to Australia and have now met Corica, Tiatto, Kisnorbo and Julian Watts. Also worked with Spencer Prior.

Met Tony James and got his autograph back in '95 outside my local shop. And Julian Jochim was nobbing some fit bird up the road from my house and one day he was waiting outside her house and i said to my mate ''Theirs Jochim'' and he didnt believe it was him so i plucked up the courage to speak to him. I was absolutely starstruck at the time it was a few weeks before he left city. Very nice bloke, And nice bird too :thumbup:
