Ex-players you don't expect to bump into
Getting off the train yesterday in the hills of the Peak District yesterday, Scott Sellars.
I had to speak to him, didn't realise he was Head of Academy at Citeh. Very complimentary about Wanderers
Made of tit of myself though as I let out a bit of a girly laugh when he made a joke about Colin Todd

Tell us the joke TK & we can all do one.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I wish I could remember it word for word but it was mainly about how hungover at training most of that team was and how Todd used to reactbobo the clown wrote:Tell us the joke TK & we can all do one.

Not an ex player at the time and not a Wanderer either. In my studenty days I worked in retail and flogged Nev Southall a car stereo or something. Nice fella and a reet scruffy bastard.

I met Mark Patterson in the bogs in Bolton Town Hall.
We didn't shake hands.

I saw Michael Johansen at the dentists on Silverwell Street years ago. There's also a parking meter near there and a year or two ago, I saw Jussi using it. He dropped a coin which I thought was mildly amusing.

Re: Ex-players you don't expect to bump into
About 15 years ago me and a mate stayed late after an Argyle match on the way back home we cut through the car park when we saw a man acting strange walking up and down the car park (it was pitch black)
As soon as he saw us he made a bee line straight for us and asked us if we had seen a black Mercedes Benz anywhere to which we replied no i remember saying to my mate he looks familiar but was hard to make out in the dead of night
Two days later we saw in the paper that Barry Fry's Merc had been stolen outside home park
Not nice but still this day it tickles me when i think about it

Re: Ex-players you don't expect to bump into
In Fanny's (the pub not the fnar) a few years ago, I reached for the door handle going in to the toilets, which moved leaving me grasping at thin air and overbalanced. This is normally mildly embarrassing enough, but the door-snatcher was none other than Peter Reid. So not only did I overbalance into his path, but then stared gormlessly at him as my brain (in an already befuddled state) tried to process why I knew the face. He looked at me like I was a proper notright as he shuffled sideways past me, which in fairness to him, I was probably doing a fairly passable impression of.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Re: Ex-players you don't expect to bump into
Yeah, Victoria inn or something is the real name isn't it? I seldom 9very seldom) go in there, but an ex of mine used to like it and lived up there. Not really my cup of tea.
