Spurs-wise, Steve Perryman is one of my mate's dad's best mates, so met him a couple of times when at school. Mate's dad is a PE teacher and was always in Perryman Sports. I seem to remember Hayes? He was always very chuckly and as you see him on TV. He'd come and chat as

I was also part of Gary Stevens Soccer School and met him. He was very nice and smiley

Met Hoddle when interviewed years ago at WHL for a press gig by John Fennelly (didn't get it). Fleeting, he was busy and grumpy.

Served Clive Wilson in River Island when I was a teenager. Seemed alright.

Met Anderton and Jennings at WHL giving talks after matches. Both were fine but clearly on paid time. Anderton was only he few years ago and he looks identical to his playing days, like he's been made older in a phone app. Got a snap of my dad with Jennings and signed his pass, made his day.

Met Bale at a FIFA photo shoot summer before he went to Real, watched him get mo-capped, he was nice enough, an absolute force of nature when running in a confined space. Had a few of his school mates in an entourage and was trying to enjoy the day. I had to wear a mo cap suit too and he lightly took the piss."don't like yours much..." etc. Got a photo

Met Assou Ekotto at a Call of Duty event, wasn't arsed at all. Interviewed Alan Sugar, mentioned I was a Spurs fan and he pretended like i hadn't said anything. (Tho he genuinely knows his stuff on technology)

Had a few airport sightings - saw Venables with his family coming back from Hawaii earlier this year, god he looks old. Always seems dapper on telly still but you don't half notice in real life how doddery he is. Also once saw Commolli killing time at City Airport.

Best non Spurs football player haul tho was World Cup in Brazil - me and my mates went over and the area was swamped with ex pros. We had a game between us where we were trying to get a full squad out of sightings but they were so friendly and plentiful we ended up only making ones eligible you'd chatted to.

Chatted to Wenger and Hansen by the luggage carousel, both were exceptionally polite and friendly. Spoke to Vincent Kompany on a stadium tour, very nice and gave us time considering he was playing the next day.

We had lunch at the England team's hotel and saw Jones, Lallana and a few knocking about. Some mates posed for a photo with Gerrard - I took photo but he looked so totally narked I'm glad I wasn't in it!

McManaman, Ballack and Van Nistelrooy were in our hotel and all fairly friendly. Chatted to McManaman quite a bit, he was always on his own watching games on the roof. Met Trevor Francis in the lounge on the way home, then woke up after a sleep to find Harry Kewell next to me on the plane.

Ha I'm married.

And a lot of the time my job has been the magnet, not me.

Still the weirdest Spurs celeb meet tho was a personal one and not player related: Jude Law, which I've bored people with before. TL;DR: three Spurs fans in New York trying to watch Chelsea FA Cup game at 10am (3-3, lost replay), found a pub, all Chelsea, only for Law to run in, pissed up from night before, and ask to watch with us as was outnumbered with his two mates, one of which is this huge dreadlocked American dude who I exchanged pleasantries with throughout the game while my mates are with Law. Cool guy, very funny.

After game, they bid us farewell after a snap, I come on to SC to recount the tale and someone points out that Law's been hanging out with Clarence Clemons, Bruce Springsteen's saxophonist.

Turns out that was who I watched Ghaly and co with. RIP

As I have recounted on here years ago,

I met our entire team when AVB was in charge and they were all gents except for Adebayor.

Bale was an absolute star with us we were welsh, kyle walker was enjoying taking the piss out of our accents with Bale but they were all relaxed and nice young men. Lennon was a little moody but then came around.

I was also too shy to talk to Super Jan who quickly picked up on the fact i was in awe of him and decided it would be good fun to come over to me and put me on the spot infront of my then girlfriend.

Had a long chat with Andre Villas Boas about football manager was a lovely guy.

Have also met bale sinced he moved to Madrid still nice and down to earth always has his mates from school with him when hes off for a good time which is nice. (another cool bale story my best mate was in cardiff once in the canton area took his dog for a walk and there bale was having a game of heads and vols with his mates on one of the local pitches)

Met Cliff Jones not so long back nice guy really sprightly was taken aback with my knowledge of spurs.

Last time I was up at WHL me and my mates actually had to sit next to Kyle Walker Peters on the tube later on in the night gpoing to camden I think it was or London Bridge did not realise it was him until much later he was snap chatting away. Asked me if I remember rightly about my yeezy's.

Non Spurs but sport related

Have met the entire swansea team numerous about of times but that's because I have access to the training ground with them.

One such funny story with them was we were warned on our first day of doing our badges if you see Michel Vorm do not be standing near his ferrari or do not touch it as he will murder you. We were soon to learn that is absolutely true Michel is a massive petrol head loves motorbikes and cars. One of the boys on the course with us went to take a photo of his Ferrari, Michel caught him and went ballistic. (had the chance to watch Vorm in action as well in training unreal goalkeeper for a small bloke agility is crazy)

Met Sam Warburton a few times always gets more excited to talk about spurs other than rugby.

Walked into George North in tesco once what a mountain.

The entire Llanelli Scarlets team are always sitting about in our local costa's so much I dont even see them as stars anymore.


Non Sport - I have actually had the privellage of meeting Alesso (The Swedish DJ) sit down drinks with him and a chat before private entry to one of his shows in brixton o2. Could not even begin to explain about how much of a nice bloke he is literally so much time for everyone. Funny part of the story was him getting a round of Jaegar Bombs in for us.

Impressive stuff but does your boss own a car that was once owned by Terry's wife? cos thats winning the thread for me right now.

Met Terry Naylor a few times in East London boozers, very nice bloke and always has time for a chat although tend to keep it short as don't wanna spoil his night. Met Gudni Bergsson over 20 years ago in Marks and Sparks West End, very friendly and signed an autograph. Also did a training session with Gary Stevens and Rodney Marsh once, both decent blokes...
