Your brush with the Liverpool players??

When did Rafa play for Liverpool?

Never played for us but I remember seeing the bloke in Istanbul carrying a big F**k off shiny thing.

Hope that helps.

Met rushie and Fowler at a fan event in the record factory Glasgow.

Got a photo somewhere with myself and my brother.

Fowler asked me how comes he's still got hair and you haven't. 

Long way in a ford Cortina

I think it was the 2l version. He certainly didn't hang about. 

I was fortunate enough to meet the original King, the Scottish one, in a professional manner, so no details, but jeeze he can't half talk, and feet like a hobbit.
Even my bluenose mate was in awe.
He is a lovely man, and a lovely family too.

Brilliantly done mate.

It was around 1998 and I was mates with a fella (lets called him Dave) who held the account for supplying the players with Nicholas Deakin shoes. So, he asked if we fancied all expenses paid trip to Anfield to watch us play Nottingham Forrest. This is how the day panned out...

Morning... a car was sent to pick us up. No kidding, some fancy people carrier thing with a driver!
We arrived at Anfield, got dropped off near the VIP/Players entrance and there was quite a crowd. He held a badge up and some chaps came and parted the fans so we could walk straight through. Wow.
Now Dave was going to a VIP sponsor box thingy but he'd got us tickets for the Main stand so that's where we sat.
we dismantled Forrest 5-1 with Owen scoring 4 times!

so, after the match we met Dave and he asked if we fancied a quick pint before setting off, took us down a few corridors and into the Carlsberg Lounge which turned out to be where the players headed once they were washed and changed. Free Carlsberg on tap, food and best of all the players!

So for the next hour we stood with Owen, McManaman, Patrick Berger etc and more noticeably Jamie Redknapp stood with us (and his bint Louise Nurding or whatever she was called), turns out Jamie was Dave's best customer and a friend too.

We met some other players and a bloke from Brookside (Mick I think he played) oh and Craig Charles was in there too.

We got driven back home and that was that.
