I know Peter Ward quite well, if you are under 35 you won't know him but over that age you would recognise him as a Brighton and England player from the late 70's to mid 80's, he's sound but doesn't like paying for his ale, I knew him from living in Tampa when I was younger, all the ex-pat Brits there just hang around in the same pubs to watch the footy, Rodney Marsh was a regular as well. Mark Lindsay also went there, he played for Crystal palace in the mid-70's, they were all nice fella's and good company. I also met Bill Murray at a charity golf tournament in Tampa and he was major sound. I met Ryan Seacrest the American Idol presenter in LA. I have met David Moyes, Tim Cahill, Phil Neville and Mikel Arteta as well and they were all very nice company, I even shared a post match pint with Cahill and Neville, something I understand they have done with supporters more than once and they are two very approachable characters.

Ronnie Moore is a top man as is David Howells. That bearded fella Rory off the telly and a few others Ive bumped into.
Duncan was the nicest of them all though.

If it was THE Big Dunc you were referring to, I met him at the Odeon in Switch island when he was still playing and we chatted for about 10 minutes before going to watch 'The world is not enough', my personal hatred of that film was overruled by one incredible experience beforehand.
Aye hahaha. Must have been an anti climax after meeting Dunc for ten mins but then anything would really.
Truly was, could not remember much about the film just kept thinking about whether I did anything embarassing.

Emily Atack from Inbetweeners/ Dancing on Ice and most recently on Celebrity Juice. Not friends with her as such, just say hello if I see her on a night out round here as we went school together. Really nice girl and I dont think it's gone to her head. She gets a lot of stick from people but they're probs just jel.
What did you talk about pal?

The film, the next game (Bolton at home I seem to recall), good luck etc., he was very relaxed and I was lucky it was not a busy night as I pretty much had him to myself. I remember going on about his performances against United a bit too much though. I was just excited and trying to keep the convo going as long as I could without him getting annoyed.

Im sure she gets that alot mate! Its weird for me coz I've known her since 14 coz we were in the same year. The reaction she gets from people on nights out that I can see is ridiculous. She's not even that intimidating, just a normal girl and happy to have a chat. Few months ago she invited us into her VIP area and started pouring us all shots of jager in a champagne glass. Sound girl.

Wayne Rooney. Was shopping at the same time as my missus and his missus and they closed part of a well known department store for him and her, I was sat waiting for her to pick shoes, as was he.
Chatted briefly, small talk more than anything.
He started it though, was very down to earth, a 5 minute chat!

Probably smells a bit nicer though.
maybe he's mellowed and is not the scally tit he was in his Everton and early Man utd. days.
