Super bob was always my hero growing, i was a striker, i wore number 9 and we had the same surname!
Going back about 16 years or so, i met him on a non matchday when i was walking from Halfords lane round to the East stand, i was about 21 / 22 at the time but the inner kid in me was so excited to see him! He was crossing the road by the Halfords lane and he walked round to the East Stand with me (think he was getting something himself!) and he was just so normal and nice, very down to earth, a good laugh and he just cemented himself as my Albion hero!
Saw lot of Jensen, Hughsie, AJ on various nights out, remember seeing Mcinnes, Hoult, Jensen, Hughsie, AJ and a few others out just before the first season back in the premier league, they were having a few beers, wasnt going to disturb them but all seemed really decent blokes to anyone who approached them, the irony was the next day in the sunday mercury Megson had done a bit saying the players didnt drink as they wanted to give themselves the best chance in the premier league!
On a side note, i saw Lee Hendrie and Gareth Barry out in solihull years ago and saw Lee Hendrie get punched because he kept trying to crack on to some woman who was out with her bloke! To be fair Gareth Barry seemed a really decent bloke and was smoothing it over.
Saw loads of footballers in Ayia Napa back in the early 00's, i have never been one for approaching famous people, and there were that many you stopped paying attention! One that did stick out was Kieron Dyer, stood by him at a burger bar on the beach and all of a sudden loads of people surrounded him, i was raging as my burger took ages! But he was very polite and when they went he told me knew half of them didnt have a clue who he was and were just hangers on, said it had got too much and he was getting a early flight home, felt quite sorry for him, but didnt want to chat too long as had finally got my burger!
