This was a bit disconcerting as we piled into the gaff from my perspective and I would have classed the ride forecast as looking a bit cloudy. It appeared that KG had got the lips off my one in town and her pal had done likewise with the other punter.

My own mind was wandering towards a humiliating defeat here, the set up was definitely screaming spare prick in a brothel. Anyway, I decided to put the best foot forward and try and have a laugh and see where that took me. We settled down on the sofas and the drinks were poured. The lads were spot on and were well up for a chat and a few gargles. Being a football fan, I was enjoying quizzing KG and he was more than happy to chew the fat. As the time ticked away, everyone is sort of wondering what way this is going. I gave the hostess a hand replenishing the drinks and said that if I was cramping her style then I'll head on home and have a pedal, it's no bother at all. She gave it some thought and then said to stay. So we hit the bedroom before she changed her mind. I subsequently found out that KG took the news like a champ and wiped his mates eye by copping out with the other girl. Presumably the other lad was relegated to pulling his plum but all was well that ended well from my point of view.

Seem to not say anything these days I had Scotty Arfield ( ex Burnley ) sit next to me the day after the final game of last season in Manchester Airport , now he could tell I was a Burnley fan as I had a shirt on but still didn't feel right saying something . I did kick myself afterwards as I should have said something about Rangers .

I had completely forgot about it until now. I still don’t know how he got his number!LOL

Was away in Portugal few years back and Rio Ferdinand sat in a table couple over from us. He had his young family it wasn't long after his wife had died, so we just gave him a nod which he gave back.

For the rest of the night he was pestered by people asking for autographs and pictures etc. Before leaving he sent over a round of drinks to our table with a note saying thanks for being considerate and not interrupting his family time.

Met Peter Crouch the very next day on the beach with his missus seriously Jason Puncheon both really sound people.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Many of the usual heads of  Ireland, Celtic and Liverpool.

However after the home leg of 09 playoff in Croke Park, me and my pal meet Jean Pierre Papin in Jury's Hotel across the road. He was over working for French TV, anyways we hit it off and few drinks turns into shots at the bar, and taxi into town and down Baggot St. His English not the best, our French sh*te. Great craic but LOL... One night Bromance.

Was in CDG airport on me way to Armenia in 2010, sitting on one of those back to back seat benches waiting for boarding and just chatting with Deisedevil about the trip & game in general.  The chap at the other side of the bench, in an American accent says ''excuse me guys, do you know anything about Armenia or their players ? ''.  Looked around and there are 2 lads there with FC Randers tracksuits, so I said '' Nah, do you ? '' 

So he says ''Yeah, I play for them, so does my mate here'' (the other lad had no English). Anyway, that was Yura Mosisvyan the Armenia striker who played against us in that game (the other fella was the reserve right back for Armenia- both playing with FC Randers at the time).  Very humble chap, chatted away to us for a half an hour, was in awe of Robbie Keane and was looking forward to testing himself V Richard Dunne in the upcoming game. 

Spotted us getting off the plane going through passport control, waited for us, shook hands and wished us a pleasant stay in Armenia. My impression was that the fella was a total gent. 

Can't say I 'met' him, but shout to Stylian Petrov in 2009 who was walking across the road from the stadium to his car at the same time all the Irish fans were released from the stadium, very happy to get in any amount of photos with fans & sign autographs, another fella who seemed sound.

I was chatting and boozing with the two lads after the game in Lyon also. The Doc is a Gent. I challenged Jason Byrne to a game of footee (football golf) on the Bohernabreena course and he agreed but subsequently declined my Facebook friend request so I’m claiming a walkover victory 😎

Was one of said fans that Petrov happily posed for photos with.  Gentleman and it was funny how he was putting his gear into the boot outside the ground like a lad just finishing five a side.  No secure car park or anything.  

Another one is out in Portmarnock when I lived there, Aido calls around and has a few jerseys to get signed for some reason.  He walks into the hotel and is hanging around waiting for the players to come down for their dinner. Keane and Duffer spot Aido before he spots them.  Duffer does the sort of move that he did on Puyol in 2002 and manages to sneak past Aido without him spotting them.  The younger players like Gibson were not as savvy and for done Westwood too. I blame their subsequent Ireland careers on that incident.

I met and got a photo with the Brazilian Ronaldo on holidays in Dubai at the tennis tournament there 2 years ago. My aunt works for the sponsors and got us tickets for the corporate section and Ronaldo came in with someone else sitting a few feet from us. He was  happy to pose for photos with people and seemed friendly.
