Loppy Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Dean Smith and his misses came in the pub I worked in one night. Probably one of the quietest nights I ever worked there. Seemed alright, did the usual bar staff friendly chat then they went and sat on their own round the corner. My dad was in the other room and didn't believe me that Wednesdays captain was in the other room. I think we'd been tonked at the weekend (we were utter dreadful that season) and I'm a little ashamed to say I said to my dad..."well go throw a football at him, if he controls it, you're right, it ain't him. if he wildly hoofs it 30 yards in any direction then you'll realise..."

s110wl Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Met Hirst on Fargate outside the then Virgin shop. Signed my shirt - Mum managed to wash it off the next day by accident... Met Di Canio at a restaurant (Rossi's off London Road) when I was 11 at a family birthday party. Still got his signature somewhere at home. Don't remember it much but seemed a lovely bloke. Loved that restaurant mainly because of the Baggio shirt they had in the corner! Actually physically ran into Clinton Morrison outside Brentford ground whilst trying to get into the ground. He laughed it off and gave us a cheeky grin ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesWalker Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 When Sturrock took the team to the States pre-season 2006 I went to all three games. I think it was the Tuesday night game in Cary, NC where a couple of us got talking to Frank Simek's dad. He was sound and down to earth, he told us the bar that the lads were going to after for food. A couple of lasses were waiting for the team to arrive to show them to the cordoned off area which was reserved for the team with all the food laid out buffet style. The lasses asked us if we were with Sheffield Wednesday, without hesitation we said yes. They thought were we part of the squad (purely because of our accents and being around 25/26 years old) so we found ourselves in the reserved section with all these yanks looking at us. We took full advantage of the buffet before the squad arrived, before sneaking off into the main bit of the bar. Told Simek's dad what had happened and he was weeing himself laughing then called Frank over. We got chatting to Simek and spend an hour or so chatting to Brunt, Mcallister, Spurr and poor old Bougherra. Madjid couldn't understand a word we were staying and would just look at Tommy Spurr in bemusement, don't think it helped with my mate yelling 'What's that coming out of defence' in his ear. Everyone we talked to was sound and seemed happy to chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember any specifics, just everything went black and when I woke up my eye was killing me. I bumped into him at Law brothers buying pop not long after we lost 5-1 to Stevenage felt like telling him how dogshit we were that day. Seemed abit of a nob, about a week later we lost to Carlisle and Madine got sent off. I remember on the car journey home thinking I wish I'd told him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Not Wednesday related but I accidentally sat on steve Kabbas face..... They had just been promoted to the premier league and I was in republic stood by the bar tables upstairs to the left as you walk in. I tried to sit down on the leather sofa only to realise I had just sat on a comatose Kabba who had slunk in and decided to take a nap there. I think David Unsworth carried him off as the dad of the group...if only they knew he'd relegate them. I had an awkward slash stood next to Danny Webber the same night too.

I didn't see what led up to it although a mate of mine told me he was acting like a bit of a d**khead and spitting on people so if true he was probably asking for it. I once remember seeing Danny Sonner giving it the big un in the ball and then him asking someone where the toilets were. We were in the extension I found it quite amusing when someone sent him into the ladies instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imre-Banana Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Back in the early 90's my mate (a blade) decided to have a pop at Adem Poric in the bogs of a nightclub, said he was useless would never get in the 1st team 2nd rate footballer etc. Poric just carried on washing his hands then turned round and said calmly 'yeah maybe, but I earn a grand a week' and walked out. Piggy didn't have much else to say on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I remember on a night out in Portsmouth I bumped into Lee Peacock who was out drinking with his missus and another couple. It wasn't long after he'd signed for Swindon. Went over after I'd had a few beers and said hello, he then spent the majority of the night drinking with me and my mates. Have to say he was a really sound, down to earth bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
