Guest Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 1 hour ago, SiJ said: Not sure this story reflects particularly well on me, but whatever. So I met (more saw) JJ at a nightclub several years ago (think it was Embrace). Now earlier in the day I'd seen Wednesday lose to Coventry 1-0 and JJ in particular was utter sh*te, at his absolute worst. So I'm stumbling out of Embrace at 2 in the morning (I'd had a few) and I see a group of our players coming into the club, one of whom was JJ. I go up to JJ and say "Are you Jermaine Johnson?" He goes: "Yeah. Yeah I am." I go: "Well you're f00king sh*t!!!" and then I walked off... But then I thought *what if he thinks I'm a fan of Dem Blades?!?!" So I turn around and go: "Oh and to clarify, I'm a Wednesday fan - and I still think you're sh*t !!!" Pretty sure I saw Akpo Sodje laughing. Then I walked off. To surmise: I'm a bit of a bellend. Sorry JJ. Love you really. To be honest I think we had all worked that out from the first line where you unashamedly confessed to going to Embrace!

soldierboyblue Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Met Hirst, Sheridan andPalmer staggering out of the White Horse Tap room as we were walking in - to paint it at 0800 the next morning! They were in no fit state to exchange pleasantries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Haven't met many since the Sturrock era. I remember meeting Danny Wilson (manager version) in East Midlands airport. He gave me and my brother his autograph on some used boarding cards and was a really pleasant guy, turns out he was off to buy Sibon and De Bilde, I should've stolen his! I saw the entire squad in the playoff season out in the leadmill, most absolutely smashed, Hamshaw being the worst off, dancing on his own and shaking his big arce around. Proudlock, Graeme Lee and Richard Wood took the more VIP approach sitting in a corner with lasses in silence scanning the room. Had a good chat with Lee Peacock and JP who seemed really down to earth and didn't take themselves too seriously. I felt a bit bad talking to them about football on a night out and tried desperately to conjure up some other subjects to talk about as one of my mates brutally quizzed Steve Maclean about his rumoured move to Crystal Palace ( eyes to the floor, a sigh into his 50p bottle of fosters.and "I don't know" was the only answer I can remember). I tried talking to Patrick Collins too as I knew one of his best mates in the NE, he was a really sound and normal lad and was pleasantly surprised when I mentioned it , but when it dawned on me that I was having a normal conversation with a guy I'd been watching on the pitch my mind went blank and I made my excuses. Awkward. It was a shame he never managed to stick in at a decent level as he was quite a confident player on the ball. The season after I saw Craig Rocastle in Sheffield Kebab House. He seemed nice too but to be fair he was more interested in talking to the lass I was with! I wonder how many venture into Sheffield Kebab House now? Perhaps Glenn Loovens is more of an Aslans man?

acquiescefc Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I met Gary Bannister on the Moor outside Atkinsons. Asked for his autograph and he said 'im Charlie Williamson' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Seen Sheridan and Waddle together, both pissed as a fart, in a pub down Gleadless. That was quite funny. Saw Sasso and Joao walking together with suitcases towards the train station day before Charlton away in 15/16. Also saw 3 of our current youth team in Meadowhall, at the time I only recognised Murphy and Clare but now I know the other was O'Grady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the ground most seem to be more than happy to sign autographs & have photos. Matias especially so on the few occasions my lad has seen him. There was one time he was parked at the store car park & was signing for over 20 minutes. That's longer than he's played for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 My mate saw Waddle in a toilet of a pub and knew I was a fan. He then asked him to write me a good luck note for my imminent wedding day. It was a poorly rushed, one handed scrawl that could've said anything, but I still got it laminated and got married with it in my breast pocket on my most wonderous of days. Got divorced less than 2 years later. Still have the note. :) (Now have 3 kids with someone else and am happily tied down!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwokenGiant Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) CC goes to my gym, spoke with him in passing on a few occasions - congratulated him on results, etc. Saw him last Saturday when I was with my little one and he took the time to speak with him and on finding out he played football he asked my lad if "he would play for Wednesday when he was older?" my lad replied with a an unflinching "YES!" A thoroughly decent and humbled bloke is our manager/head coach. Edited July 14, 2017 by AwokenGiant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Griptite Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Simon Stainrod used to be my next door neighbour, it was the early-mid 80s, I was four, I apparently kicked a ball around with him regularly and I don't remember it. Vienna, Austria... February 2011... me and Our Gert had been to Schloß Schönbrunn for a lovely walk around the palace gardens. Consulted the map and realised that Rapid Viennas ground was along the same tram route so paid it a visit... found the gates were open so we wandered in unopposed and just sauntered around the ground at a leisurely pace, taking a few sneaky pictures but kinda scared the gestapo would come and take us away... Fear heightened as on the way out we quite literally bumped into a tall man mountain in football gear, followed by several more people in football gear all heading to what turned out to be the training ground... we'd run into a 'top secret' training session (they were on their winter break) which we stopped and watched for a bit. They started off with some sort of football/rugby hybrid which the tall lad was absolutely killing at due to his height. No pictorial evidence was gained because of the aforementioned fear of the gestapo... pictures were too much of a risk... Fast forward a few years and the tall lad, unbeknownst to me, turned out to be our very own Atdhe Nuhiu. GOD I WISH I'D TAKEN PHOTOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
