I saw Andy Sinton jogging past Coral bookies in town a few years ago, and got no response other than a withering look to my chirpy "Alright Andy!"

Met Rob Hindmarch (RIP) when I worked at Wyevale Garden Centre. I basically told him he was crap at Wolves and then asked what he was doing now.....he had just been released by Telford and was waiting for his agent to get back to him regarding a move to Hong Kong.
Also met Kevin Keen in the same place......2 days after he had played for Stoke at Molineux and beat us 4-1. Had a boring chat with him
Last season met Bully and Robbie Earle pitch side before the Forest home game and had a good old chat regarding the new manager. Bully was backing Micky Adams!
When Robbie Keane and Kevin Muscat were done for drink driving a few years back, I went to the training ground just to watch all the lads train, at the end of the session, one of the trainers (cant name him to save my life LOL) was talking to them both and they were told to go and pick a kid up from who was watching and jog round the training pitches twice with the kids on the shoulders.
As I went to the training ground quite often as a kid, Robbie Keane asked me if it was ok if he could jog round with me on his shoulders, so I let him haha!
He was talking to me about loads of stuff all the way round and at the end of it, got me a signed shirt from him!
Quality!!

A few years back I was on a Friday night session in night/fight club Cheeky Monkeys at the Civic.
I popped into the gents gor a jimmy riddle and stod in between Thommo and Bully. I wanted to make conversation but I though it might not be the time or the place!
Saw Thommo later on at the bar and he bought me a drink. Top bloke is Thommo.
Nice thread. Had a few - asking Mark Atkins if he needed assistance when working as a Christmas temp in GAME 1997 when he was looking at a Barbie PC game (no joke) -but most interesting ones are that a few of the players used to frequent a pub near my dad's old place in Wightwick, mid90s time. Gotused to seeing/chatting withSteve Sedgeley, Dean Richards (the ears!) and Robbie Dennison in there a lot. Best night was when a mate and I were in there and got chatting to Michael Gilkes and Jermaine Wright about the merits of the England team and playing for Wolves. I say best night as they, being highly paid, kept getting the beers in and there was a lock in!
Also -more or less within the remit of this thread - shouting (can't recall what initially) at Lee Dixonduring theLiverpool Arsenal game at the end of their double winning season to which he responded bydoing a funny duckwalk / shimmy thing. Cue me again "That's how you walk to church on a sunday morning Dixon!"I was young and fearless then... and agnostic.

when I was getting qualified I had a job behind the till of a shell garage in Redbourn, Herts.
Regular customers Vinnie Jones, John Hartson, Bruce Rioch (for a while anyway - Arsene must prefer BP) and John Bloody Motson who used to invariably get £52 into his car and pay with 2 £50 notes.
My fave one is about Roy Pearson the referee who sent Bully off a few years back against Oldham and the baneffectively ended our season.
Irang him up at work (he was Maint Mgr at an excavator factory in the N/East.)
"Mr Pearson, this is Andy of *****, just ringing up to enquire on the machine we put in is performing, is it all right?"
RP- "err yes it's fine, how's thing's with you?"
Me-"Not very good actually, since you sent off Bully there is a general feeling of depression in this area. It was a stupid sending off, even the Oldham Centre half is appealing on Bully's behalf, howsabout you become the first referee to show some commonsense and rescind the sending off and relieve our pain?"
RP- "Your man should have kept his hands down it was handbags at 10 paces, it's out of my hands now, it's with the FA."
Me-"Roy, mate, you don't understand the severity of having Bully banned, it has upset a lot of people."
RP-"Aye, I bloody know it has, I was having a quiet drink in my cricket club in Seaham on Saturday night and 2 local lads started on us, saying they were Bully fans, threatened to beat the $$$$$e out of us." Me-"Roy, look, name your price."
RP-"There's not enough money about to make me even think about it."
Me-"I'm sure there is, rescind the booking and imagine a paper bag full of untraceable crisp notes hidden in your next consignment of spare parts.."
RP-" Ah,Bo77ox mon.." Phone goes dead.
For some reason, he didn't see the funny side of itsmileys/smiley17.gifHe later told me hehates Wolves.Edited by: Shergar
Good Story Shergar. Speaking of Dean Richards saw him from our taxi at a red traffic light at the end of a night up brum (Southampton had played Villa). Wound down window and gave him "wanderers reject whooaa whoaaa". At this point he starts walking towards the cab and became apparent how big he is. Our song quicky changed to "Deano, Deano". Think he was completely p1ssed and wanted a lift!

Not Wolves but when I was playing in an under 14 side we were taken to take in the delights of watching Wrexham one saturday back in the seventies. In the foyerafter the gamewaiting to meet some of the players (!), Bill Shankley came down the stairs. I stepped forward with my autograph book held out, but the miserable old git brushed me aside with a "Nae now laddie, Can yer nae see I'm busy?" Looking back I wouldn't have had it any other way!!smileys/smiley36.gif

Ignore meI am just being a grumpy $$$$$$$er today
Saw David James in a motorway service station last year. At which point I said to my mate "thats David James isnt it?". He doesn't follow football and asked "who's David James?!!".
I explained that he was an excentric, poorexcuse for an England goalie and left him to go and get some food.
I then returned to find David refusing to sign my mate's hands (he'd had a few jars!). Seemed like a fairly decent bloke, if a little startled. He quickly made his getaway and left a right mess on the table.

On Saturday Rachael HF was getting her car fixed at the Rover dealers on the Penn Road. Asked me if I was going to the game and when I said yes. She then said "If we play like we did over the last 3 games I will be back home at half time". Then she spent 5 mins telling me that the team lacked bit, spirit and we seem to not battle at all.
I couldn't believe it, but she seemed to have hit the nail on the headsmileys/smiley5.gif

Yonks ago, I was having a drink in the Parkhall Hotel, and had had a few when John de Wolf, Thommo and Chris Evans walked in.
I staggered across to de Wolf and asked him to signed a couple of autographs for 'my nephews'... when he asked for their names I couldn't remember.
A couple of minutes later I went for a pee, and saw Thommo and Chris Evans in the toilets too taking a leak. They both finished said something to each other, looked at me and starting laughing.
I got a bit worked up and said "Are you laughing at me for asking for an autograph at my age? You think I'mbeing a $$$$,don't you? You see, we arenot all star footballers and some of us have paid good money over the years to watch our heroes etc etc etc...." I went on for a bit.
....at which point Thommo said "No mate we really not laughing at you for that... we are laughing at you though because you $$$$$$ed all over you shoes"...
smileys/smiley9.gif
Saw John Barnwell driving though Blakenhall when I was young, he stopped his car to ask for directions out.. didn't want to hang around long for some reason??
Edited by: Brusselswolf
When I was a kid and collected autographs, I was following Wolves to Aldersley, I said to Eddie Clamp, Good old Eddie, Not so much of the old Sonny.
Also on a bus at Manchester airport going to the carpark, I was next to Jackie Charlton, I said to him You should take a look at Davis Kelly, he picked soon afterward and scored a hat trick in his international debut.

Spent 10 mins talking to Graham Taylor at a Wolves pre season friendly a few years back, actually a nice bloke and met Graham Turner atLondon Wolves do after we had beaten Aldershot.
Also at the PO final just after the final whistle Stuart Pearce was in the crowd and got chatting with him for a few mins, just said "It's about time they went up"
Haahah this happened today... I saw Brian Deane at the park kicking a ball around with 2 other guys i didnt know and someone kick it over the fence.. So Deane went to get it and as he came back over the fence he tried to jump it but his shin/foot got caught on the fence and he went arse over head hahahahahhaha

(1) During a meeting at Molineux with John Richards when he was chairman he showed me to reception on my way out and Mark McGhee (manager at the time who JR was not too complimentary about when I asked him) was there and nodded to us, JR said "alright Mark";
(2) In 2001 at Esso in Bridgnorth I saw a nice silver Beemer at the pumps. A chap in shell suit and gold jewellery came out of the shop and walked towards it, just as I was starting to think 'Chav' I realised it was Bully on his way to training with Hereford!
(3) At Faro Airport in The Algarve in May I was waiting for flight home and kept seeing Keith Curle;
(4) April 2004 towards the end of our Prem season, twas the eve of the game at home to Southampton, Dave Jones and his daughter came to our garage to buy her a Beetle Cabriolet. Got talking to him about Wolves on the car park while he was sat in his black Range Rover Vogue and seemed a nice chap!
Lee Naylor went to my school, saw him break his leg when he was playing for the school team, he used to be a striker back then. After he had left he used to come back and visit one of the teachers and one time he brought Robbie Keane with him, got him to sign me school shirt which got me sent home.
Also Wayne Clarke lives about 200 yards away and he nearly killed me while backing off his drive in his Coca Coca van.
Steve Bull and Andy Thompson presented the trophies at my football teams end of season party, got Bully to sign a few Wolves tops.

A mate of mine called Rob Hindmarch(rip) a donkey in Wolverhampton town centre and Hindmarch chased him and caught him and gave him a lecture about how difficult it was settling into a new club and house in a different area.
Andy Mutch once stole my school pen in Telford shopping centre although in all fairness he had spent 30 minutes talking to us and signing autographs for me and loads of other schoolkids.
At villa park when we got to the semi final of the FA cup we were walking towards the ground when we came across Steve Corica and his crowd of friends, one of my mates who loved him started talking to him and he proceeded to shake all my mates hands, when he got to me i said "i don't really want to be a hypocrit and shake your hand when i spend most of the time shouting at you due to the fact I think you're useless" he just looked at me and said "fair enough mate".

In the mid to late 90's me and my brother went to see Racing Club Warwick (one of my local non-league teams) play Shrewsbury Town in a pre-season friendly. Darren Simkin was on Shrewsbury's books at the time and was playing in the match. When we saw him warming up we started to give him a bit of stick.The ball got kicked over near to usso Simkin strolled over to collect the ball. As he turned away with the ball again the filthy git only went and dropped a huge stonker of a fart!! Bet he followed through ha ha!
My wife used to work at the Park Hall, she came home one night and said Bully and Thommo were in there, and that Thommo had tried to chat her up and she had said "get lost Dwarf".
I never forgave her so she is my ex now.
She also said that there was another bloke with them but she couldnt think of his name, She said he had a red face and a thick scottish accent. A few days later Alex Fergusson was on telly, she said......Thats him

When I was playing for West Bromwich Albion youth team, I had treatment in the dressing room and was left on my own. Shocking thing to do, but I left a $$$$$ in the showers, as they had just beaten us in the local derby and it was my way of getting back at them.
Very childish, but certainly not out of place there!

A few years ago when I was in 6th form at St Edmunds School me and a couple of mates went to the nearby Newbridge chip shop at lunchtime and Mark Kennedy and Dennis Irwin were in there! All of a sudden the guy behind the counter wrapped up the biggest cod I have ever seen, passed it to Kennedy and he went out to a car outside and passed it through the window, andwhen they wound down the window we noticed it was Butler and Oakes in the car! Then Dennis went out to take Oakes his fish cakes, and it was around the time that Oakes and Butler had been dropped for Murray and Clyde, so I said to Kennedy "Why arent they getting the dinners in being as theyre sitting on the bench a lot nowadays?" and he just giggled and said "Why dont you go and tell them that?"
Also because our school was right next to the training ground, the week before the Spurs game on the last day of the season we made a banner in French saying "Don't go, Henri", and went and stood waiting with it until he arrived. When we pointed it out to the t*** himself he just kinda looked at us, smiled and walked off. I felt such a mug the next week when he put in a transfer request.

Wolves related:
I met Paul Stewart when he was playing for Wolves. He was in Wolverhampton town centre in the middle of the day and was completely off his face. So much so he could hardly stand up. His girlfriend/wife was asking me directions.$$$$ ($$$$).
I also met Graham Taylor when he was Wolves boss. He signed a (orange) piece of paper for me that said "Do I not like orange, but I do love Old Gold". Top bloke.

I can remember the Doog coming over to my and thanking me for my
support on Wolvo Station once when returning by train from a match
against QPR. I was only a young man at the time and it meant everything
to me.
Being a Willenhall lad I have played against a few of the Clark
brothers. I can remember playing in a game on Short Heath playing
fields where Wayne and Kelvin played and Derek sat on a grass bank
watching his younger brothers. Wayne brings his daughter to have
singing lessons next door to where I live. The last sighting was when
he parked his car in front on our garage and we could not get the car
out.
My Uncle was knocked over by a car driven by Major Buckley many years ago but was unhurt.
I see Eddie Clamp mentioned on this thread. I have a great story about
him. A friend of my Dads was in hospital with ticker trouble and Clamp
was in the next bed. Apparently he realised he was having a heart
attack while driving in the Stoke area but drove to Wolverhampton
because he did not want to go into hospital in the Stoke area. After be
treated and released Clamp vistited my Dads friend and took his medals
to show him and spent the afternoon chatting about football with him.

I have also spoken to Willie Carr on many occassions. He
continued playing for Willenhall after the end of his professional
career. He was a top man. With some ex pros they think that they are
above the standard they are playing and bring a lot of attitude with
them. Willie was a true club man, I have seen him dropped from the
Willenhall team and stand behind the goal with the supporters and chat
away quite happily. He always had time for the supporters at Willenhall
and his behaviour and attitude were exemplorary. He could play a
bit too.<!--

I've also met Lee Hughes and must admit that he was quite a nice bloke too, When my brother in law(who supports albion)turned 12 his mom asked me to go with her to the Albion club shop to get him some stuff for his birthday, i told her i would take her on the understanding i wore my Wolves top, when we came out of the shop i noticed Lee Hughes by his car so i shouted him and started to walk towards him, he looked up and said "bloody hell mate, you're not gonna hit me are you" i told him about my brother in lawsbirthday and asked him if he'd sign some of the stuff for him and he said of course he would and he asked me how come i hadn't beat being an albion fan out of him yet, I told him i was trying reguarly and he laughed, after he signed loads of stuff he said, "actually the lads have just finished training so i'll take you around and see if there are any of them about"
We went round to the main office and Neil Clement, Darren Moore and Danny Dichio were there so Lee Hughes told them the story about my brother in law and they all said yes of course they'd sign the stuff, when it came to Dichio he asked me if what I wanted him to put on it and i said "well to be honest he preferes Scott Dobie to you so if you can't fake his signature you'll just have to put your own" I though Neil Clement was going to $$$$$ himself.

Did you give or recieve? smileys/smiley2.gif
he was out at the time at the mermaid i think. (poseur) smileys/smiley17.gif
i went round one afternoon and he was in his garden sitting around the
swimming pool with some real tasty women and a few of his mates, all of
them in the buff. it was quite a surreal thing for a young innocent 17
year old lad to see.
David Sullivan nearly ran me over outside Molineux after we beat the blues. Missed me by inches after I jumped out the way of his blue ford escort with a B1 UES number plate. P***K
Bumped into Paul Ince (literally) in my local Spar two weeks ago. He held the door open for me. Saw Leon Clarke in the same shop last week.
Robbie Keane buying Jerry Springer videos from Woolworths in the late 90's while I was working there.
Keith Curle looking at me as though he wanted to kick my head in, in O'neils for no apperent reason.I lightened the mood by pointing and saying "your Keith Curle!"which I'm suresoothed his anger.smileys/smiley36.gifEdited by: Joseph

I managed to talk 2 hours of drunken shi*e to Neil Emblen and Brian Law in the Theatre bar about ten years ago. Consisted of me telling Emblen he was a footballing genius wasted at CB and Law telling me'don't tell him that - he's $$$$$'.

I always found John Richards to be a friendly chap on the many occasions he bought a first class return to Euston from me a few years back.
Jack Charlton didn't know where he was once one very early morning.
I forgot Brendon Batson really nice top bloke always polite even when he used to jump the queue (sort of)
I am sure there's more, oh Keith Curle was camera shysmileys/smiley36.gifEdited by: theinvisibleman

Was in the same class as Martin Riley from reception to Year 11, Top mate and the fact he has become pro has not gone to his head!
Bumped intoEmile Heskey in Selfridges in brum last year and he just smiled and continued to buy about 2K's worth of clothes.
Served tons of wolves players inm the resturant i used to work in! Shaun Newton was an absolute w!$*er, Stuart Gray was a top bloke and Seyi Olofinjana shook my hand as he went out whilst singing nigerian lullabies to his niece.
I also know George Leatou's (Walsall striker)Mrs and she is gorgeous and a rite flirt.

Sounds like Wolverhamptons answer to the playboy mansion

Ive served Robbie Keane for trainers when i worked at a sportshop in town. I had a brief chat with Neil Emblen when he was presenting something at a Wombourne Fayre....his wife/gf was stunning. Don Goodman shook my hand in Yates 2 months ago.
Kenny Miller, Lee Naylor and Keith Andrews were in the Mount in Wombourne twice during the summer.
Oh and on countless times i saw Keith Andrews/JJ Melligan $$$$$ed up in Oneills surrounded by women.

met players enough times (in a position of my stature, you do)
Nothing immensely exciting though, had a chat with Rohan before Leicester match, seemed a nice guy.
Spoke to NDah end of last season, and he asked me who i play for, which
seemed a completely stupid question, i felt like saying arsenal.

I thnk Kizza's the sweetest story of the bunch...I have one but it's about the Iraqi National team (the one that made it to Espana WC 86), a parrott and a renault 4 if anyone's interested.

I must have mentioned the Emblen thing cos you know how much I loved him.To be quite honestI'm ashamed of the Lee Hughes episode which is why I only mention it on an anonymousforum.smileys/smiley1.gif

I met Mark Venus one Sunday years ago. He was sold to Ipswich ( or swapped for Sedgley ) the very next day. Seen Slimy Steve Corica up town with Keane, Freedman, Muscat and Fat Carl Robinson loads when I was 17/18. That geek Proudlock has also been in my way a few times over the years. Thinks he is ace, but really just a spanner from Shifnal/Newport. Fat Idiot.
Thompson is pretty funny, but Dean Richards ears are rancid up close. They are virtually upside down. Stowell once told me Villa were after Naylor ( for £3m!? ), but he was slaughtered. Dinning, Rob Taylor and Des Lyttle used to live near me but have all upped sticks ( apart from Lyttle ) recently. I’ve heard Bryan Robson lives up the road but havent seen him in the pub yet, so assume that to be complete rubbish.
I also made John Richards go in goal once around my mates house as I wanted to prove I had the potential to be a superior striker. He was MD at Wolves at the time about 1997ish?
But my best is definitely Gary Bellamy. Classic Mullet combined with the face of a RAT.
