Not met any Toon players (yet). But I knew Mat Le Tissier when i was growing up, we were in the same school year. Played with and against him many times before he went to Southampton. Played against Graeme Le Soux as well.

Met Emlyn Hughes, Steve Perryman and Phil Parks when I went to a soccer ranch as a kid and they were the coaches.

And I shared a lift with Mark Hughes and Arthur Albiston in the Tower Thistle Hotel in London when i was in London for a football tournament and Man U were staying at the hotel coz they were playing Millwall. Didn't say a word to them but when they got out for their floor and the doors closed I heard them both start laughing. Then I smelt something and realised one of them had dropped his guts. Always wondered which one it was? Don't suppose i'll ever know :)

Been in Manchester since last September and I'm still yet to see any City/United players.
I might track down Rooney, sleep with him and sell my story to the sun or something

You don't have to do that, just tell them you did and they'll be happy to print your story.

Saw Given in Players and Gosforth High street
Dabizas at Monument
Jonas in Eldon Square
Ryan Taylor at Yo! Sushi in Metrocentre (while the rest of the squad were in Portugal)

Don't usually approach players but

Was shopping in Eldon Square and was walking past GAME and i saw a few Sunderland players, namely Gavin McCann and Jason McAteer

Now this was the season when they well on their way to setting a record of the lowest points total recorded by a Premier League team.

God knows why they were showing their faces in town. Now, i don't like Jason McAteer as it is so i didn't want to miss the oppourtunity of going up to shake his hand then quickly move it to my face and shout "schoolboy error" for all to hear.

The look on his face . . . priceless

Now my second story goes like this

i was about 18/19 and i was walking through Metrocentre Marks and Spencer with my girlfriend at the time. And i couldn't believe it!! walking towards me was none other than Newcastle United legend John Beresford . . . but wait ... what's he doing??

He's only staring at my lasses cans!!!

So i kept looking at him until he looks up at me, and gives me a cheeky grin and a nod as if to say "you've done well there my son"

Can't knock him really, the little perv

it wasn't just any store that i caught former Newcastle United full back John Beresford staring at my lasses hooters

it was an M+S store that i caught former Newcastle United full back John Beresford staring at my lasses hooters

Hi Stoney! Haven't got a clue what you mean by "bean" mate :) But i'm a Donkey if that's what you mean. Are you a Crapaud or just working there?

Ah yeah, 'donkey' should have given it away!!! Thought it may have been a refference to Shola though!

Crapaud inded mate! (bean is actually more common) Look forward to seeing you at the Muratti, ay? lol :D

I thought that Graham Le Souax was one of us, not the dreaded enemy across the pond! lol

I've never heard you referred to as bean's before, learn something new and all that! Yeah i'll be at the Muratti. We'll have to wear our toon shirts so we recognise each other. Funnily enough my ten year old nephew played in the under 11 Inter-island on sunday. He played really well but your boys won 2-1, which was a bugger. :)

Yeah Le Saux was one of yours, I played him in a inter-island practice game for the Junior Muratti squads. I marked him actually, I played RB and he was left mid. He was actually the year below but he was so good they promoted him to try and cancel out Le Tis.

"Crapaud, bean, Donkey"

Is this Channel Island chat?
Click to expand...

Yeah :) Donkey = Guernseyman, Crapaud (Toad) = Jerseyman. Don't know what "bean" refers too, Stoney will have to answer that one.

The islands have a pretty big rivalry, not unlike the Toon and Mackems. The Muratti is an annual football match between the islands.
 
Never seen a Newcastle player except after one of the signing sessions, we were at SJP (having missed it) and Dan Gosling walked straight through a group of me and 2 friends, we had no idea who he was until a it became apparent a huge crowd was chasing him to his car.

Also saw Jonas trying to sneak away that day (but we caught up with him and said hello), as well as Campbell (before we knew he was ****), and Lover.
 
Oh how did i forget

I used to work at Northern Rock in Gosforth and we did a sign the stripes website
you may of seen it, there was a big shirt made with everyones name on who signed up
this was just after we secured the championship

anyways NUFC sent Chris Hughton, Steve Harper, Shola and Jonas to do a signing session

the lady infront of me brought a newcastle shirt style baby suit thing for the lads to sign
when Harper got the thing, he held it up and said "this must be Wayne Routledge's shirt"

boom boom
 
Saw michael owen pre season in euston station going through the back way witha minder before he signed for Man Utd , stupidly asked for a picture, didnt even look at me and his minder simply said " hes too busy" ...sorry michael you couldnt even acknowledge a fan you twat, well i lie i was never a fan of the money grabbing pr&*k!
 
Sat behind Shay Given a couple of years ago, on a flight from Malaga to Teesside. My son couldn't find any paper, so got him to sign a sick bag!

Also once played golf, at Ponteland, with John Anderson and Mick Martin. Had a few pints with them afterwards. Top blokes.
 
Oh. I forgot. At a World Cup U-21 qualifier at the Riverside, as few years ago, I was in the same row of the Director's Box as Sven, Tord Grip, Sammy Lee and Trevor Brooking.

Came back in late for the second half, after emptying my bladder (free bar), and they all had to stand up, to let me in to my seat. Sven said "Heloo, Helloo" as I pushed past him.
