I believe that alcohol played a big part in what happened. No excuse I know, but like I said, a decent chap who made some bad decisions.

Chased after Bryan Gunn once in a car park in King's Lynn to get his autograph... pretty cool eh?
If i take my kids to friendlies i take them down to the pitch to get photos taken . I have a great one with Drury and Doc holding up my 4 year old at the time, sat next to Roeder in the dug out and more recently i have pics of Wessi and Zak with my kids at the palace friendly....The last ones are on my profile
Has anyone seen any famous celebs at Norwich too? For example, I walked past Mark Watson (comedian) near the ground a couple of years ago when we were in League 1. However, by the time I thought to get his autograph or a pic using my camera phone the moment was lost. Still, my missus really likes him so I tormented her for ages after that for not liking football, telling her what she was missing out on if she bothered to come.
When I got home that day I looked on his blog and he had just decided that day to go to a game, knew Norwich played good football and so took the 2 and a half hour train journey. He could have chosen anyone that day but went to good ol' Carra Rud. Quality bloke who knows his footie really well.

I also met the bloke who played Les Battersby in the players lounge at Carrow Road a few years back.
I've sold Greg Downs, Kevin Drinkell and Simon Charlton bathroom suites in the past ! I once bumped into Hucks in the M & S cafe too literally !
Small world - I used to live just round the corner Foggo...I think it was my first brush with superstars.
I used to live on Wodehouse Street, just off Silver road. Ketts Cave was my local park. Used to be there all the time. I moved to near Earlham Road in 1986, but until then I played football there a lot. If it was the same era we probably played with/against each other.
I have seen Huckerby in Homebase, once with his wife and once alone, Adam Drury in Homebase and Chris Martin in the city centre, I also saw Julie Reinger in house of Fraser (I know she isnt technically a canary but she is married to Chris Goreham, who is almost!)

We saw him do a gig at the Playhouse might have been around that time, was dead funny he kept checking his watch and saying i've got a taxi booked as I have GOT to get back to the station in time to get the last train back to London. He was very very funny though, gave me a sore neck tho as instead of coming out on the stage he came out and walked the aisles before the gig chatting to everyone (we were in the front row). Very funny and very friendly and nice chap!
Oh and he wears a green and yellow t shirt on the front page of his website!
Wifey saw Lesley Grantham but he's too scary to say anything to!
Oh I saw John Savident (played Fred Elliott in Corrie) walking from the city centre to the Theatre Royal and he was eating a pasty, ok so not a Canary (probably) but still someone famous, he saw i'd twigged who he was and gave me a look that said come near me and i'll ram this pasty up your arse... So I didn't say "Ashley I say ASHLEY" and scurried off instead.
We DID however bump into (literally) Dion Dublin in Sheringham Splash a good few years back and when a friend asked he said he'd give us a shout when he was changed and do some autographs so we didn't miss out and true to his word said i'm off to get changed now and then gave us a shout before he left enabling mates kid to get his sig - What a GREAT bloke!!
now this is a small world Foggo - moved to Wodehouse street in 1979, left in 1992 to go to Uni...who are ya?
Saw Ian Hislop by the market during the summer. Oh and I once saw C Ronaldo at Carrow Road - plays some ok football for a worthless celebrity!
I recall bumping in to Trevor Brooking outside the main stand for one game, may well have been West Ham
