Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted January 14 Nothing really interesting or exciting here but I've seen a few of them mostly outside of Norwich. Most recently saw Gibson walking along Yarmouth sea front with his partner. That's about as mundane as it gets. Was at Yarmouth stadium some time in Hughtons first year and saw Holt and Morison outside together which was funny to me at the time because during that season a lot of people were spreading rumours that they didn't like each other. Going to a greyhound race is pretty ordinary too. Years ago at school in Ormesby middle school a few of us were standing outside the front entrance and Dale Gordon was jogging past, can't remember his exact words but the jist was "forget school lads lets go for a run" and we followed him jogging for a little while towards the Spar but we were about 9 or 10 so couldn't really keep up. Saw Oli Johnson jogging to the ground before a game once too with his gym bag which made me laugh, even footballers have to get to the stadium on foot sometimes.

I believe they actually owned a couple that raced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danke bitte 967 Posted January 14 Speaking of Adam Idah, back in 2018, after the Lord Mayor’s Procession weekend, myself and a friend were hungover in Morrisons cafe enjoying a breakfast. Who should sit down on a table adjacent, but one Adam Idah with his mum and brother. He had a full English breakfast which he ate with his family in complete silence.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,827 Posted January 14 I once saw Steve Morison in the phone shop at Tesco. I also saw EFL journeyman striker Chris Iwelumo buying pick n mix at the cinema. I sat at the table next to Fabio Liverani (former Lazio captain and Italy international) and his assistant when he was coach of Lecce in Serie A. I served a few footballers when I worked in betting shops, but I believe only one of them used to bet on football. He did it a lot and is still playing now, and to the best of my knowledge has never been banned for it. There are probably other examples which were too mundane to remember.

sonyc 5,539 Posted January 14 Met John Hendrie a few times and he would tell me stories about stuff, one of Darren Moore smashing the dressing room door down at Carrow Road. Every time I see him at our place I think "yeah, you're not so hard now are you as a manager" Other than that, Jack Charlton was in the row in front on the plane on our honeymoon. He and his wife must have drained the free bottle of wine even before halfway across the Atlantic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,774 Posted January 14 Saw Dean Ashton walking his dog down Newmarket Rd a fee years ago and both John Barnes and Alan Brazil at Centre Parcs. Non footballing I was on the same flight as Richard Branson to Miami 30 years ago, I believe it was Virgins first ever Saturday flight to Florida hence why he was on it.

Kathy 735 Posted January 15 (edited) I saw Robert Snodgrass trying to force an empty paint tin into the clothing bank at Sainsburys Longwater. I pointed out to him that the clothing bank was just for clothing and he had to take empty paint tins to the council waste depot. He seemed surprised 🙄 Edited January 15 by Kathy 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,153 Posted January 15 1) I stood in a queue with my daughter in a Subway after an away game while Hucks bought his little boy a foot-long. 2) For some reason this has stuck in my head since I saw it, delighted to have an opportunity to share it. It must be tongue in cheek mustn’t it? It’s almost Partridge-esque. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Originally I was going to go with Achilles, but thought the connection with the tendon was a bit confusing. Not sure I see Barnes as Ares. Not really warlike. Mercury, the winged messenger. Alan Brazil is definitely "plumpy Bacchus with pink eyen", though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
