Yard Dog Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I had a piss next to Will Haining in the Grey Mare after the Blackpool home playoff game. I understand why he has a page 3 model wife. Remember spotting Haining in the toilets at Nemesis, possibly around 99/00..? Pretty sure he was youth team on verge of breaking thru. He was smashed and tried to deny who he was.....

Bristolatic Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Found out two or three months ago that, through marriage, I am sort of related to one of this season's squad. Not saying who, but a really nice bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Used to deliver papers to Mr Butterworth (ex Director of OAFC back in the day) lovely man, used to give me tickets to games and helped us jump the queue to buy tickets in those halcyon days when people would queue all the way up sheepfoot lane......I felt like a special one! Used to play Tennis with Marshy up on High Crompton Park (or was that wtach him play and offer to be ballboy....) My mums sister is now married to Andy Barlow's Dad (tenuous link) (None football related) Saw Shaun Murphy drinking in the Summit Royton the other day......some oaf drunkenly starting asking what the hell he was doing in there to which he replied that his mum and dad live in Shaw....Useless fact but it will come up in a Quiz one day That would be his step Dad as his Dad moved down south....I used to work with his Dad (Tony) at a Volvo dealership in Heyside. I didn't realise Shaun was his son until I saw him interviewed after he'd won the World title...small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Lee Steele riding his bike down Oldham/Manchester Road by the McDonalds in Failsworth. Can see how he got the job as our fitness instructor despite not having the academic qualifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wogghead1 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I worked in cala d'or and drove past andy Barlow, I got so excited because outside oldham you rarely see a Latics shirt never mind one of your all time favourite players so I wound down the window and started chanting "andy, andy Barlow" he was probably as shocked as I was that someone recognised him after his playing days!

yarddog73 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 In the mid 80s whilst at school my school raised the largest amount of money for a charity and as a result we were chosen to caddy at a celebrity golf day, all the stars of that era and previous eras were there on the day I was lucky enough to be caddy for Gordon Banks a true gent, at the end of the round all the stars tipped us (other than a flash Bryan Robson) and I was treated to £50 which was a lot of money I nicer man you will struggle to meet and a true football great.

mikeroyboy Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I must be blessed. 1977. I was with friends and family at the Lavante Park hotel in Calla Bona, Majorca when Steve Whitworth (Leicester and England full back) walked past our table. 1979. I was cycling with my kids one morning in Calla Millor, Majorca. We passed a roadside bar with a slightly raised balcony and a lone customer sat at a table with a San Miguel. It was Brian Clough, the Oldham Wakes after he had just won the European Cup with Forest. He was watching the world go by – which, for a few seconds was me and my daughters. I nonchalantly raised the palm of my right hand in acknowledgement, he returned it likewise. Knowing Clough’s reputation, I appreciated he didn’t blank me. 1984. I was with family at a caravan park in Cornwall. We were with friends in the social club one evening when Maurice Whittle, along with his family, came in and sat at the next table. Manna from heaven! Was the goal he scored at York in 1974 mentioned? You bet! He was very down to earth. 1986. I passed Chris Waddle on the top deck of a cross channel Ferry. 2007. I was helping out at my daughter and son-in-laws business when Ernie Cooksey walked in. He was smiling and very friendly, even though he was not well at the time. Less than 12months later he was dead. A very nice man and a tragic loss to his family. 1991. Going off piste, my wife and I followed Barbara Windsor and Leslie Crowther off a British Airways flight. We were directly behind them as they dragged their dolly trollies behind them. They were top note, ‘actors’ voices and attracting attention from anyone within fifty paces. We were not impressed.

jimsleftfoot Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Went to a conference in Loughborough in 2011 where the England RL squad were sharing the same facilities. Then spotted Martin Johnson walking down the corridor as it turns out England RU Coaches were also having a conference. A helicopter arrived, jokes made about Sir Clive Woodward.... 20 mins later he was at the bar. 2010 had a meal at Opus One on Xmas day. Sir Sean Gregan was too.

Zorrro Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Just got on a train with Chris Martin of Derby. We're not travelling together, obviously. He's with who I assume to be his wife/girlfriend, though she seems to be a little on the, err, mature side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
