I was trying to find a thread to put this in - I just saw Lee Peltier (not Leon Best) in his car at Fosse Park! (Yes I go all giddy and girly when I see a Leicester player in real life outside the stadium!)
Quite a few of the players live in them flats across the river soar by the King Power Stadium. I know Andy King lives in there so did Michael Morrison. There must be more
Your not on your own, I waited for two hours outside the ground at the end of last season with my lads to get signatures, it really is eye opening to see them in the flesh standing next to you when you only usually see them on the pitch from distance. Some of the guys look quite big on the pitch but when standing next to you they are in fact not! Got photos with Sven last seasons and my lad is almost bigger than him!
Blimey how old is your lad?! Had breakfast at the Marriot before the Middlesbrough game in 2010 (last game of the season just before the play-offs) saw Gally walk in and out of shock said in a very loud voice 'Oh MY GOD It's GALLAGHER'!. I think he turned his head as well I was in shock when Wellens, Vaughan, Bruce and Spearing came in too and they all sat at the table next to me. Got a photo of course, great stuff.
Eldest is 13 Going back I was in the old filbert street ticket office standing next to Marshall, did a double take! he is not as big as you think, but is as ugly!
Gally's latest tweet Should have put sun cream on today in training .. Haha http://yfrog.com/gya29ovj
quality! The only other I can think of was when I was 5 - it was pre season 1997 - we had a pre-season game against Scunthorpe, my Uncle was playing for Scunny and since he was a Leicester lad he got to parade the recently won Coca-Cola cup around Glanford Park. I got my ball signed by Clardige and Savage - can't remember it myself but my Dad says Savage was a top bloke but Claridge was really miserable! Not much changes in regards to him then! Anyway you've got a few years on me so I'd better not get into a funny football experiences battle with you Though did I mention my Grandparents used to go clubbing with Keith Weller and Chris Garland? No joke!
I havn't seen many but some stand out! Did the player of the year do's in 88-90, I had a full plaster on my leg for one, had some stick of Paul Reid, Tommy wright and McAllister! Also remember Mark Wallington in the ticket office, he was also very big.
Son was mascot against Pompey pre-season years ago. Matt Elliot was a GIANT, Marshall was ugly but really down to earth. Robbie Savage was brilliant with son, absolute top man, thats why I couldn't boo him last year against Direby. Steve Guppy, shyest player I've ever seen. Muzzy was also really good, looked after Tom for the day.
