      One more I'm afraid...

      Met King Kenny and all his family on a golf course in Jo'burg (Pinewoods resort) during a pro-am golf tournament about 3 years back - I was working in S.A. at the time and through work got a VIP pass into the club house.

      Gary Lineker amongst many others also there... complete pr**k btw... on the look out for talent... if you know what I mean... not surprised his marriage is now over... but anyway back to K.K...

      Kenny was superb to me and my work mates... it was a hot sunny afternoon and we had all been drinking all day when Kenny walks into the club house after his round ...and I start off a rendition of YNWA... the whole club house and Kenny himself joined in!!!

      Class moment, Class man. Nice family too!

      Ive met Didi in Pod on Allerton Road twice when play for us about three years ago - a real nice approachable fella  oh and yeh he smokes marlborough lights!
      Ive met John Barns about five times but only after he finished playin for us an got very fat!!, and he also had a bash at me birds niece.
      Ive met xabi about twenty times as he lives in the same block as me in the dock he's seems a nice fella but doesn't say much. I met his mum and dad on boxin day last christmas again in the lift - real nice people.
      Oh and Arteta lives in the same block, but he can fu*k off   his birds a dream >:D!!!

      ive met the players of all eras during my time,1971 to present,  But the two that stand out are [1] 1990 the last time we won the title Me and a couple of workmates bought winning tickets to the game we actually won the title against Q.P.R. In with the prize was a 5 course meal,limo to and from ground, Directors box tickets, access to players lounge before and after game, and ended up in the dressing room for a few minutes! Amazing . [2] The other was en listening to tapes all theon an away trip to Derbys Baseball Ground. Unknown to us the game had been called off at 11.30, so when we pulled up to the ground we were surprised to see Roy Evans bringing the Kit skip back on the coach. We asked Roy ' whats going on' and he told us the pitch was waterlogged, only we hadnt heard the news coz wed been listening to tapes all the way! So We followed the coach back to the Post House Hotel, Nottingham, and fully expected to be stopped, especially as I could see the shape of this big bloke who I presumed to be Security through some frosted glass. Turns out it was John Barnes who saw my Liverpool top and welcomed us in. As we went in all the players were coming through from breakfast. All the squad from the Aldo, Rush,Barnes , Beardsley days. One of the best in my opinion. Great Memories.

      I see a lot of the older players here in Heswall and if you let on to them they always acknowledge. I always beep my horn at John Barnes and he always waves he must think I'm a nutter.

      A little bit but his Enlgish wasn't good and the people he was with would get shitty if you tried talking to him.

      How did you meet Alonso?
      We should probably give details on how we met them as well :D

      I met Jamie Carragher like 3 weeks ago. Even have a picture with him! That made me week.
