Entire Arsenal squad about 18 years ago when I was about 9 / 10 going to France for a tour or early season Euro match by ferry (those were the days) and coach. Was the English back 5 era. I was just going on holiday and dad being Liverpool fan wasn't impressed when someone connected to club gave me a colouring book or activity book thing as I did it all holiday on the beach etc. and he thought I might convert.

Not so fussed with Brighton as I take him to games fairly often now, but if we ever reach Prem could be different hehe

I met and spoke to Jeff Minton in 98 walking along the beach in the Algarve, same holiday also met Lee Sharpe.

In 2001 Also in Portugal, was staying at the Same Hotel As the Real Madrid Team, found myself having a piss next to R.Carlos. watched them train on the pitches along the road too.

Met Teddy Sheringham in 1998 in Orlando Airport whilst he was buying a golf magazine.
Not on holiday, but have met 7 members of the England 1966 World Cup team/squad.

Yes, June 97, Halkadiki, Greece.

One of the Hereford players (it might even have been their captain)

An interesting conversation.

I met the whole Albion squad having a pee together in an M1 service station in 2008 - just before the Leeds game ... I peed next to Andrew Whing

John Wark was staying at our hotel in Greece 1984 (26 years ago, blimey!!!!).
I think it was around the time he moved from Ipswich to Liverpool!
