    unexpected meetings

    when the toon played posh

    we were allowed onto the team coach with terry mac and kk and the players as they were leaving

    but where is the most unusual place you have met a toon player past or present


    mine would be phillipe albert who was working on a veg stall on a market in belgium

    i had my toon top on as we were on a stag do and baccy run

    went to this stall in the market square to get some oranges and bannanas for energy

    he served me and i wasnt taking much notice
    when he said thats a great team you support
    i had me head down and said something like yes cheers

    when i looked up i went to pay him and thought i know you from somewhere
    as i turned away my mate (also a toon fan suddenly realise it was him )
    we had a rendition of the song and a quick chat and of we went

    also met gerrard dupodou at the metz game
    but he never played for us

    Quite a few.

    Out for a lunchtime walk at work and bumped into Graham Taylor and Keith Gillespie coaching some kids at rugby club.

    Bumped into Aaron Hughes at a sports centre.

    Walked by Tom Huddlstone at a coaching clinic, was told Joey Barton was there too but didn't see him.

    Not a Toon player, but out jogging and bumped unto Teddy Sheringham coming out of a random cafe in a track suit. Saw Dennis Law, George Best.

    Loads more

    That must have been a great night for you mate

    Met Peter Beardsley quite a few times as my Ex Father in law and Peters Dad were best of mates

    He used to come into The Fusiliers at Forest Hall often

    My mate Kevin Arnott used to play for the Mackems but he is a staunch Toon Supporter

    he told me to go through to the lounge (most pubs still had lounges and bar areas then ) i thought i was in for a *******ing at first as noel had a temper

    but when i went around sitting at the bar with his wife maagie was george

    we wrer introduced and had a chat
    he was so quiet when he spoke
    and i could see why he was a hit wth the ladies
