Topic: Guess who I just met in the Asda?

[Crosby Nick]

He was on the Mathew Wright show this morning. Didn't mention anything about no quiz though.
He's dyslexic so I'd demand a recount if you lost quiz.

Phone in and ask him where he was last night. See if we can verify Benitle's story.

[DonkeyWan]

Was his wife chasing him.

 

LOL

I think Benitle has jumped the shark with that story.

I met Stinson Hunter down the local park on Sunday evening.

I certainly wasn't expecting to see him!   

[john_mac]

He was there with family, they'd had a meal there. Great guy

Richie and Joannie?

[Crosby Nick]

Did a pub quiz last night and who was on the next table? Henry Winkler. Yes, the Fonz was marking our answers

Strange older man who likes hanging round with teenage kids...and The Fonz at the same pub quiz. What are the chances?

He's from my home town...he's given Nuneaton a lot of publicity for all the wrong reasons.

I reckon your average online groomer/Paedophile will give Nuneaton a wide berth from now on, which is a good thing.

Phil Neville was at my office last week. I didn't really care.

I bloody well hope so...

We were famous for taking Middlesborough to a replay in the FA Cup 3rd rnd, playing the likes of Mendieta and Viduka.

Now it's just infamous 😢

Former firm favourite on here for a time Sir David Moyes in a service station off the M62 earlier looking miserable while getting himself a coffee and chocolate.

Posed for a picture with a couple of lads though

Steve McClaren in Covent Garden today. He wasn't carrying a brolly.

Does Craig Phillips count?

Met this legend last night!!

[SuperStevieNicol]

Sat on the same table as the King at a sportsman's lunch yesterday. Not only is he a legend but he's a true gent, got a great sense of humour and is incredibly humble about everything he's achieved. The MC was John Gwynne, bloke whose done the darts for years and also does sky soccer Saturday, think he was covering Preston v Fleetwood today. He was also a top bloke.

I hate you.  No offence like.

Haha, I wasn't supposed to be on his table either but when we turned up our table of 12 only had 10 seats so the organiser bumped me and another lad on to the top table. Great result! Think my mates think it was all planned!!

Of course not *cough*  who would ever think such a thing.   

A little story about the King.  It must have been about 7-8 years ago when we were on a ferry from one of the Scottish Hebridean Islands to the Scottish Mainland.  Picked up a local paper and there he was.  The King and Marina.

It was a fund raising event on one of the Islands which comprised a sporting event and an evening do.  So clearly it wasn't an "in and out".  And either he or both of them had been there regularly before.  The evening do was informal and comprised lots of young people, some with learning difficulties.  The joy he brought to them was clearly beyond  thedescription given.

Now I don't know if you are familiar with that part of the world, but unless you have a Lear Jet and even given that it is the King and Marina, there are few ways to get there which are not a hard slog.  But they have done this several times and brought joy to an isolated community.   And not one word from them about it.

And before anyone asks.  These Islands are totally unable to afford  VIP "expenses" and fees.

What a great story. Forget what he did as player and manager, he's simply a great man in every sense, a true legend and an outstanding human being.

[Maggie May]

Indeed he is.  The spread in that little newspaper would have put OK to shame.     And it was clear that he was relaxed and enjoying himself. 

And he has the perfect mate in Marina.  It should be remembered that during the dark days immediately post Hillsborough she manned the late night phone lines at the club.

Nothing like as impressive, but I also saw a minor celeb at a pub quiz. I met a mate in his village pub in Byfleet, Surrey to do the quiz and who should be on another team but Ed "Stewpot" Stewart, erstwhile radio dj (older forum members will remember him).  Apparently he lives in neighbouring West Byfleet. Despite being a life-long Evertonian he was a pretty decent bloke.

Forgive me, but who the hell is he? Can honestly say I've never heard of him

Heeey! that's cool , when he handed the quiz sheet back did you do the thumbs thing.....The Fonz in a pub quiz?..how cool is that....was Ralph Malph there?....You should have asked did the Fonze ever shag Ritchies mum?....God I would have!!!!....I was 14 at the time....maybe too much information.

I remember watching the Scottish channel Alba a few years ago when having drunk a bit too much one evening I was scrolling through the channels. Suddenly the King's face appeared so I carried on watching though I had no understanding of Gaelic Scots. It seemed that he and Marina have been working with a hospice in the Western isles for years, but true to his nature he was very self effacing and played down his role but you could tell what effect he had on those whom he visited.

That man is not only the greatest footballer ever to wear the Liverpool shirt but a true gentleman in every sense of the word.

Thank you Chavasse.  Its got to be the same thing I read about.  Very grateful for that.  I can't find the newspaper but I vividly remember that Kenny and Marina were thoroughly enjoying themselves.  It wasn't posed celebredee stuff but rather the sort of snaps you'd get at a family do.

And yes he is everything you say.

The man deserves some sort of permanent recognition at the stadium , he is so fitting of an honour there be it a statue , a stand or gateway . I know he probably wouldn't want one but everything he has put into the club he is near enough  on a par to shankly in my opinion .

[kirkbywool]

Met John Flanagan in Santa Chupitos last night, nice lad, seemed down to earth and got a picture with me and my mate. Did joke that I should give his agent a fiver as that's what he usually charges but he will do it as a freebie

Spot on idea, something should be done during the stadium overhaul to recognise everything Kenny has done for the club in so many ways.

Getting out me car on the Stanley car park on Saturday I see Shaun Dyche getting out of a X5.

Shouted over "alright Shaun, come for a look at Mario?".  He comes back with "fucking hell, imagine managing that!"

He was only joking and went on to say how he thought Mario was a great player and how he thinks he will come good for us.  A thoroughly nice and down to earth friendly bloke and we spoke to him for a while.

Then Sturridge pulls up in a White Porsche and stopped for photos with everyone knocking about. Think he was late and looked a bit stressed but still did the photos. I think we all said "hurry up back" in one way or another.

An eventful day. Usually it's just John Bishop I see in that car park.

[stoz]

Wonder why he couldn't park in the Centenary car park? Other injured first-teamers do. And he's got a box aswell.

[Buck Pete]

Yeah been parking in there for years and only ever seen Luis Alberto on crutches and DS yesterday. Not got a clue why he was parking there yesterday like.

Given this thread title, I'm extremely disappointed nobody went to stalk Enrique after he actually tweeted a photo of Asda a few days ago (saying he was going to buy a chicken or something  )
