Yay, I can contribute to a soccer thread!!

Met some bloke that used to play for Liverpool, Phil Thompson??  He was comentating on a match and staying at a hotel near Heathrow.  I was staying there, and a fellow commentator started chatting to me at the bar.  He invited me down to their table for a drink and introduced me to everyone there including Phil.  Sure I didn't know who Phil Thompson was so didn't pass any comments, till I was back up at the bar and the boys in my group surrounded me and asked me to introduce them.  Didn't I feel important!!  He was a nice man (his commentator friend was much nicer   )

His commentator friend was......

Did you sell him a ol lotto envelope Rois? Come on... spill the beans.

Ha Norf, d'ye think I'd tell you that?  Kept in touch for a while, googled to make sure he was telling the truth cause I wouldn't have known (he was).

Though it was pretty poor to find out they'd done the commentating from the hotel while watching on TV!  Ye wouldn't get that in the GAA now would ye?

Ive never met one famous sports star. Well Darren Clarke when I was much younger and he wasnt a professional.

Where do you people meet them all?

I have queued beside Jared Leto and Bill Murray at airports.

Puck when someone has "had a few beers" with Ronaldo it means they asked for an autograph or saw them from a distance. Someone must have played a few holes with Tiger Woods (and probably beaten him) or practiced free throws with Michael Jordan,anyone,anyone?

[Norf Tyrone]

Minder everyone has played a few holes with Jordan. Even Gareth Gates!
