Player Spotting

Having just seen Hernandez in Prospect Centre and Grosicki in St Stephens, made me think... what do people do when they see players out and about?

Are you the autograph/selfie type? Or do you leave them be?

Any interesting stories of anybody meeting players in the past?


A couple of teen lads saw Grosicki. They spent the next five minutes or so encouraging each other to ask him for a photo, totally embarrassed and shy.

 

You didn’t say if you actually got your photo with him or not, did you overcome your predicament?

 

Hernandez in Prospect Centre in mid December, or Hernandez in a nice piazza coffee shop in Pelermo or such like. No wonder he wants off to Italy!

 

I left them both be

Just sorta nodded/smiled/acknowledged and walked on.

 

Think he was with his family. He’s taller than I realised.

 

Always thinks he looks average height on the pitch but according to wiki he's over 6 foot. Once saw England cricketers in Heathrow coming back from somewhere. I was surprised at how big some of them looked aswell.

 

That’s my way but without the smile.

A nod & a knowing eye does the trick. If they want a selfie or autograph they’re free to ask me.

 

The most surprising thing about this post is that you’d do a selfie.

 

Is that a euphemism for masturbation?

 

I do regular selfies, my FB is littered with them.

I’m more private with my snapchat poop selfies.

 

Move them on with the rest of the rough sleepers.

 

Same with Chris Evans (of BBC and TFI Friday fame). I met him for something work related and he's a giant in real life and a lot slimmer than what I thought. Proof that TV really does add the pounds!

 

I once shared champagne with John miles when he opened a record store a lot of years ago, does that count, he asked me if I wanted an autograph, I said no but I'll have a drink of your champagne, he handed me the tanked and I downed the lot... us of a certain age will know who John miles was...

 

Not as good as a nice bottle of shampoo, a classic all the same -

 

His Rebel LP was in my collection, it's still around somewhere, this was always my favourite track

 

Can't you get arrested for that sort of thing...?

 

Now we are wondering why you would arrange to meet Chris Evans at a motorway services

 

Your FB??

Is that your **** Buddy.....

 

If my memory serves me right, I remember being in Sugar Mill nightclub after the promotion play-off season (Carey Slips, WINDDDAAAAAAAAAAAS) after the open top bus celebrations.

A lot of the squad were in there. Henrik Pedersen was smashed with 3 birds around him dancing, head in there shouting "OH YAAAH I AM HENRIK!". Loving life.
