Jenks Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Just back from Perth. Not a great result after sitting with my wee 10 year old girl in the cold. Step forward Marcus Godinho who came over after his warm down and gave my wee girl his match shirt. It's great when the players give things back. Anybody have any nice experiences of their own to lighten the mood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Derek Riordan, has to be an advance on Alfredo! Not going to be a popular one, but I spent the entire evening with Billy Dodds on a stag do, found him to be anything like the public persona. Charming, polite and talked about everything and anything, not just football. Great guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Met Robbo, very nice man as you'd expect. I have also met Ramon Pereira, who I was star struck meeting, but he seemed a nice man and his wife seemed nice too. Also met Ian Murray recently, seemed a nice guy, i didn't mention some moments in his career though, maybe for the best Edited December 6, 2018 by rudi must stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscjambo Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I was sitting in a nice cafe in France tiny town and saw Gerrard Houllier with his mother. Still Liverpool gaffer at the time.

thegreatsd Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I’ve met Colin Cameron, Connor Sammon and Henry Smith at various times. They were all really decent blokes and happy to chat. On a similar type of subject, but not really..... my Mrs sent me a message about an hour ago. In recent times at her work they have had the likes of Anthony Joshua in at her work at a sky call centre. Anyway tonight they had another ‘celebrity’ in. Her text made me smile and I’m sure it will please a few of you too. I will leave the rest up to my Mrs, here is the message she sent me.... ’We have an ex Celtic player in sky tonight. Andy Walker is his name...... the managers are trying to get folks off to go and speak to him and get photos with him and no one wants to come off the phone!

Doctor FinnBarr Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I met Andy McLaren at work today, remember him? Dundee Utd and Reading (before he failed a drug test). Went through rehab and made a comeback for Killie. He now, amongst other things, is a volunteer councilor for Chris' House in Motherwell which helps people with addictions/ mental health problems. Really nice guy who openly admitted to his previous lifestyle. Good to see him put something back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I’ve actually met Michael Stewart in a bar in Rose St and he was fantastic. Was a bit worried about him being a knob.
