Emlyn Hughes

Met him twice.

1st time I was just about to start a job at an office that was hard to find.
I did spot the office while driving but carried on to a phone box to ring the wife to say I'd be later than expected
Just as I got to the phone box I guy was just stepping in. He then finished his call and came out then I went into the phone box and phoned the wife.
I went to the office and into reception signed in and sat in reception

In walks Emlyn Hughes and said "you couldn't find the place either" and continued talking as if he'd known me all his life.
He'd remembered me from the phone box but I didn't recognise him at the phone box.

Great guy RIP.

Another great call .. I think Paulo Maldini now has to take a place on my bench ...

Surely in terms of statistical niceness then Gary Lineker- never got a yellow card!

... cards have nothing to do with whether you are 'likeable' ... could argue he wasn't prepared to get hurt!! ... and I'm not sure he'd be top of Michelle Lineker's Xmas card list having left her and the four kids for his bit of Welsh Rarebit!!

Zola is a great guy but I'd have to go for Vialli - when I went autograph hunting with my dad when I was a lot younger, he invited me to join him at his table where he, Zola and Wise were playing cards and bought me popcorn! Mark Hughes was a bit of a dick though.

Cantona was also incredible nice to my young sister under similar circumstances apparently - he picked her up and put her on his shoulders - but he probably doesn't qualify because of the Palace incident.
 
Johnny Depp is supposedly a nice bloke and I thought Justin Timberlake came across really well on the Jonathan Ross show the other night.

Can they start up front, if not a place on the bench?

Only in Charity Games ... otherwise it becomes a bit of a laughing stock ... which would then bring in Ralph Little, The Chuckle Brothers and charliej18 ....
