Leicester players spotted

[Stadt]

Saw Wasilewski in the Highcross car park, saw him and reflexively (embarrassing) shouted his name - gave a thumbs up back.

 

At secondary school we went to this Japanese day at Loughborough Uni and they dragged Yuki Abe to it. A kid that wasn’t interested in football at all was picked to take a penalty against him, it was a dogwank effort.

Saw and followed Johnny Evans at Belfast Airport. Rumours were that he was signing for us, so followed him to see which gate he was going to, hoping it was C or D to EMA or BHX.

Unfortunately it was A to Heathrow. 

 

Matty Elliott, Sainsbury's at Fosse Park. 

 

Barry Hayes, pub outside Wembley, Fulham Championship Play Off Final.

I drove past Andy King in his Range Rover at the BP roundabout in Corby yesterday. I indicated left, he pulled out. It was a thing we did!

[HybridFox]

Dennis Wise on holiday in Dubai. I was being collected from the kids club in the resort (yes I was young) while he was there to collect his. Saw me and said "Right you want my autograph then?".

 

"Nah you're alright" said my uncle and we walked off

Was he big as a child?

Doubt it. Never stopped to question why he was dressed as a goat.

Almost met Steve Guppy at match of the day live that they used to do at the NEC but he finished his stint before I got to the end of the queue and met Mark Lawrenson instead 🤣. Met Knockaert in the club shop the summer after we got promoted, thought he would have his pick of where to get his clothes 🤣. Went to one of those players awards at the end of a season once and had a few photos with Wes, Kasper, Bamba, Nuge, Matt Mills & Beckford 🤣🙈 

Just reminded me of my Wilmslow 'sightings'. Used to work there, bit of a footballer hot bed.

 

Matt Mills loading his car at the road side. This was well after his Leicester days, circa 2016. 

 

Also saw Raheem sterling going into a WH Smith's on the high street. Can only imagine he was going in to buy a pen to sign another massive contract.

 

Oh and Kevin Keegan chilling outside a coffee shop in Hale. Saw Darren Fletcher in Hale Sainsbury's car park as well actually.

Glad you included that information.

I swear once on this forum I read that someone met Dennis Wise in a toilet and shook his hand, and their hand was fully loaded with wee/poo...?

I saw Richie Wellens in a Morrisons, can’t remember where it was. 

In Morrisons, you just said?

Thomas and Maddison were playing snooker in Riley’s all night today. Either nobody noticed them or they were sound enough not to bother them.

Kevin Poole came out to one of our school football matches when I was in goal (think I was maybe 13 or 14 at the time) and he told me that whilst a good shot stopper, I'd never make it unless I had a growth spurt.  I never did.

Used to see Ndidi at the sainsburys in Thurmaston a lot. 
I see Iheanacho in the Oadby Asda quite often now. 
Me and the missus were in Timos on Allendale road on the table next to Cambiasso & Ulloa once upon a time.

Saw quite a few players fairly often when I worked at Waitrose (Chilwell, Silva, Ranieri & some others) 

[Jabfox]

seen Maddison a few times in highcross, got a couple pictures and he complimented my younger sister on her outfit 🤣

always see lil wes about in Rutland now as well.

Saw Jimmy Willis at Glastonbury 2002.

He was watching Orbital and gurning his tits off.

I gave him a high five and then he whispered in to my ear 'Are you my Daddy?'

At that point I walked off. He seemed like he was capable of all sorts. Made me very uncomfortable.

I should add that years later I found out that Jimmy Wallis wasn't there at all and it was actually me who was gurning.

Turns out I was actually talking to a bin.

Still, great memories.

I wish him well.

Cycled on the bikes next to Pearson at the gym before.

[Jabfox]

also will never forget when I pissed next to Milan Mandaric in the pub at great glen. 

 

I must have been about 10 

 

 

[Hammo]

When I was a kid in the 70s I was behind Dennis Rofe in a queue at a fast food stall at the Home Life Exhibition at Granby Halls. He bought a milkshake. Think it was strawberry.

[Rain King]

Paul Reid used to go our with a friend of my parents and was often around my house when I was 4/5 years old.

 

Had no idea who he was though so.
