Don't recognise him, must have been before my time. 

However, you look a bit over the top in all that Derby sports gear.

Swansea Marriott? I dont remember him either, guess he was a golfer or something

Here’s a Swansie

Dave Mackay after any home game in the bar at Derby dog track.

Colin Todd on a flight from Copenhagen during an international break when he was Bolton gaffer.

The whole Chelsea squad approx 1991/92 pre-season tour of Ireland in the same hotel as me. Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Dennis Wise, etc. The one who stood out as a real nice guy was Paul Elliott.

Peter Schemichel coming into a restaurant in Prestbury as Mrs Grumpy and I were leaving.

Went to school with Steve Sutton.

Pretty much every player who played for us between about 1972 and 1985. 
 

Since then, ooo Mark Wright in the Broadway a couple of times and Dave Watson in the A1 Little Chef after we won at Cambridge.

Oh and Nigel Clough at Orlando airport shortly after he'd taken the Derby job on. Most embarrassing celeb moment I've ever had but too long a story to tell now.

Always leave them wanting more.

When I was working in the Middle East for a major British oil company, my colleague and I met Les Ferdinand at a sports function, which was being held by the Abu Dhabi Sports programme.

Got chatting to him over a couple of drinks and invited him to dinner, which he accepted and we went to a top-class sushi restaurant and over a couple of hours of food, and more drinks, had a great conversation about football in general, including managers, other players and injuries.

A really lovely guy.

I met one at a Butlins Holiday Camp.

The purpose of the thread is clearly outlined. If you want to know which famous footballer I met, you will need to start a thread entitled ‘What famous footballers have you met’. You should know that being a stickler for moderation rules.

That's actually a very good point, well made.
I'm with you, buddy.

You forgot to mention "behind the bike sheds at school".

 

Oh, it's not "that" list

If you've accidentally posted your favourite dogging sites would you like me to delete it to save any embarrassment?

I'm just popping out but should be back in a couple of hours.

We're all queueing up with stories like that.

Peter Shilton in a mens clothes shop. It was a meet and greet (he was Derby and Englands keeper at the time). My mate and me said we were both Derby fans. He laughed and said "Oh we have some fans then!".

[Poynton ram]

Met Andy Booth ex Huddersfield and Sheff Weds at a business event. Really nice bloke and he said the hardest defender he played against was Igor

Many years ago, when I worked at Allied Dunbar, Swindon, Keith Dyson (who scored for Newcastle v Derby) was my boss.
