Bizarre places you have run into famous people/ footballers and their cars

Recommended Posts

I was thinking today about times I have met famous people/ footballers. A few years ago I was living in California and nearly crashed into Enimem. He was driving a yellow Lamborgini in Hollywood and I pulled out in front of him and nearly hit him. Knew it was him from the number plate, MNM.

Also ran into Max Gradel at the King Power, he was driving the most knackered Renault Clio I have ever seen including a bent coat hanger for an antenna.

Anybody else got an amusing tale

Bloody hell you nearly killed Enimem and Max Gradel......I think you need a re-test.

Bumped into the bloke who plays Roy Cropper near the London Eye (I remember the exact date because it was 2 days before Sept 11 2001). Talked about Leicester for a bit before he went off the queue to get on the Eye.

Saw Knockaert in town the day after the Forest match last season and got a photo with him. Wasn't weird but it was a pretty good time to see him after he'd just scored that goal.

Are you sure it wasn't one of these lads?

Met Rui Costa (Milan, Benfica, Portugal etc) on a beach in Portugal in 2000. Didn't really know who it was at the time, I was only 8, but my dad got his autograph and a photo.


 


Used to go to this Sports Shop in Portugal quite often, and the people that worked there said Raul, Zidane and Figo were in here literally five minutes ago. Would love to have seen them.

Sat next to Jackie Charlton on a train from Birmingham to Edinburgh - too in awe to chat as he was reading a book. I got off at Leeds, don't know when he got off. Also when I was working in London, I sat near Dave Sexton on the underground train when he was Chelsea manager

 

When I lived in Sutton Coldfield, Andy Gray came up to me in the main high street and asked me "Can you tell me where is the Job Centre (or its equivalent)?" - he had just signed for Villa from Dundee United. Villa had houses for young professionals in the Erdington area of Brum and he was living there.

Wes Morgan and Liam Moore in a service station bogs about two hours after the Watford away playoff last season.

Spill the beans....

Bumped into Mancini, Platt and Kidd in the centre of Manchester too.

I was at Henlow dogs and there's this guy wearing a hat sat by himself and I thought I know him from somewhere but could not place him, then all of a sudden I put my hands over my ears, it was no other than Vinney Jones, and boy did his Range Rover Rattle.

bumped into Ian Marshall once in the city center, me and me mates started chanted his song, and he did a merry jig.... very embarrassing for all parties involved, we were not even pissed, he might have been though, the way he was jumping around

Shook hands with the hand that made "that save", Gordon Banks when he had some connection to a second hand car dealership I bought a car from  in the 70s/80s

 

Does Romeo Challenger (Showaddywaddy) count? Think he played in the same youth team as Peter Shilton. I nearly killed him when he ran in front of my car in Lee Circle.
