Who have you met, and where?

I can't say I've met him but I've spoken to God a few times on the big white telephone.

I bet he did not talk to you.

Oddly he never replied

Was he seducing a minor?

N.B. Non-Town and not even football but I think amusing and illustrating the difficulty different generations have in explaining to one another, different experiences.

About 6-7 years ago my daughter aged about 17-18 worked in a hotel in Sheffield where people performing in said City sometimes stayed.  She was often invited to go to their concerts, sometimes she went, sometimes she didn’t.
One phone call, I asked if she’d been to any recently, she said as it happened she been invited that night to one but probably wouldn’t go because she’d never heard of the women and couldn’t remember her name.
Next call, she asked if I’d remembered she had been invited but actually did go to the concert with her friend.  They were invited back-stage afterwards where daughters friend fell off a high heel, twisted an ankle and had to go to A&E. “Dad she even broke the shoe !!!”  The woman performer organised a taxi and went with them to A&E.
At A&E, my daughter said, “...people kept coming up to the woman pestering for autographs. You know Dad she really WAS famous” l asked “Well, who was she ?” “Debbie Harry”......
.........Wish I’d met her when I was 17ish............
They exchanged a few Emails afterwards (which I wouldn’t have done)

She also got a £50-note tip for taking a pot of tea, as part of room-service, up to The Saint (unfortunately not Ian St.John but Roger Moore)

UTMM.

Just remembered I went to Uni with Bryan Robsons daughter. She looked just like him the poor lass.

Shared a few drinks with Gary Birtles in Swindon a few years ago. Wouldnt let me or the mrs buy a drink and he said the time spent playing for time was a highlight of his career. Said the town fans were amongst the most passionate he’d seen in his career and spoke very highly of sir Alan of Buckleyshire

Sold Seb Ring a bed. His bird was stunning, he was very shy.

Saw Michael Reddy after a game in Sainsbury’s in Welholme Road in 2005. As a young lad I was too nervous to talk to him, he noticed me and smiled and said hello, which was nice.

Met Gary Neville in Manchester outside his hotel after I was at an event there. There were a lot of people around and only I noticed him. Asked him for a picture and he agreed then ran off the second the picture was taken.

Went on a couple of nights out with Marcus Rashford’s sister. Wish I’d never. It was like she thought SHE was the professional footballer.
