I think there is enough of a clue there 😲 Mucker1884, Jourdan and Elgin_Ram 3 Link to post Share on other sites
IslandExile 4,362 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Sir Brian used to run his brother's (I think) newsagents in Bramcote on a Sunday morning. Was in his Forest days when I saw him and I always regret not asking him why he didn't come back. Link to post Share on other sites

My half time pi55 had be stood at the urinals, when I heard the unmistakable dulcet tones of the wee Scottish legend that is Archie Gemmill, who was now stood to my immediate right. His conversation was literally aimed right through me, to one Mr L Pickering, who was stood the other side of me! I could have stood there all day, tool in hand! It was how I imagine heaven to be!

I haven't washed that hand since! This is the best one for who you met and where you met. In_The_Dark_Ram 1 Link to post Share on other sites

EraniosSocks 935 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Got about 3 of these. When I was younger, my sister took me to the old Ramarena to try get autographs after the players had finished training. I ended getting a few, but when trying to get Russell Hoults, he acquired my sisters mobile number instead and they ended up dating for a few months. Giles Barnes took my ex of me... I had Pesch behind me in a que at game in Derby when buying the new Xbox 360 on release JoetheRam, Elgin_Ram, DarkFruitsRam7 and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Coconut 5,943 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Very few times and nothing of any real interest or consequence. Stimac & Asanovic's kids coming to my junior school, with the players being mobbed in the playground. I seem to remember one of them ruffling my hair. Stephen Pearson in Kingsway M&S, phone glued to his ear, pretending he was on a call so he didn't have anyone speak to him. Forsyth & family walking up Belper high street during a food festival. Wisdom walking on crutches up Wembley Way for the Villa PO final. As I said, non-stories. Edited October 1, 2020 by Coconut Link to post Share on other sites
ivo_knoflicek 586 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 John Harkes at Derby railway station, early 90s, about midday on a match day. He must have arrived by train and was getting a taxi to the BBG. I asked him if he was playing, he said “I hope so”. Turned out he wasn’t. Link to post Share on other sites

Normally he played 45 with a hangover scored 2/ made 2 and sat out the second half. Also played against Kenny Burns on a Sunday in the Taverners league. I'm sure it was Sobers off Kedleston Road he played for. Took him about 10 minutes of puffing and me running past him for him to work me out, then he constantly won the ball of me without seeming to move.

leamram 194 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I was in a pub years ago in leamington and spotted Paul Williams out with a few of the Coventry players, I went over and said alright Josie, at which he said how do you know that nickname and I explained I was a Derby fan at which he said he would buy me a drink. It then went downhill quite quickly, I was a bit drunk and a bit star struck that a professional footballer was buying me a drink, so when he stuck his thumb out to the bar man and said ‘exsqueeze me’ my brain said, 'grab his thumb, he wants you to grab his thumb and he’s going to fart or something’…not that he was just getting said barkeeps attention. So I grabbed his thumb at which point he looked confused at me, instead of letting go of his thumb my brain piped up again and said ‘keep hold of his thumb, it will be fine…in fact why not do a weird little nerdy laugh too and stare at him’ I’m not sure how long I held his thumb, but i remember thinking 'just let go of his thumb' but didn't it seemed a long time….i took my pint and scuttled back to my mate I was with who said ‘How did that go and why were you holding his thumb’ I still cringe now Kinder, S8TY, Taribo and 13 others 16 Link to post Share on other sites
ossieram 8,186 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Met Marco Gabbiadini on Markeaton park when I was out with the wife and son and he was with his wife and daughter many moons ago. Lovely bloke, we sat outside the cafe and had a drink and a chat. Met Roy Mac when I went with an ex to the Royal Crown Derby Xmas do. His wife worked for them and talked him into handing out raffle prizes. Neither missus was happy as we stood chatting at the bar for half hour while they sat waiting for drinks.
