Went to John Pembertons one year for a Bar b q, Geoff Thomas was there, Phil Barber, & John Salako, salako was a bit of a prat, but the others were top guys. Ian Wright, Mark Bright, all these players used to come and have a chat after the game when i used to get into the directors box with a couple of mates, and me mates dad. Gareth Southgate, top man, Met Jamiee Moralee after a game against Crawley a few years ago and he even remembered my mate who he had met before, from Scotland who was with me.
Dougie top man stopped and had a chat last season when he was injured and signed a card for my boy. AJ nice pic with my son, hughesy, Danny Granville.
Alan Whittle when he used to stay at the Norfolk Hotel at Crown Point, top man, 5ft 2in eyes of Blue.............

and many more, not like some teams whos players don't even bother.

rub a dub dub who's buying the next round in the Pub?

I've met six of the players, Ryan Hall (can't spell), Butterfieid, Freedman, Granville and Boyce and AJ plus Iain Dowie.

Freedman and Granville were lovely especially to my daughter who is only 2. Iain Dowie and AJ were brilliant with daughter she was only about 18mnths at the time but they really nice to her.
Boyce, I met in the club shop and was really nice, asked me how to spell my kids name just to make sure they were happy.

When my mum was in hospital geoff Thomas and John Pemberton went and saw her. Andy Thorn is another nice fella and cookie coleman...

Current nicest players by far are: Jobi McAnuff, Mikele Liegertwood, Emmerson Boyce and Dougie Freedman.

met the whole team just before we lost 5-0 to liverpool - they trained at my school for a week and i wrote a footy mag at school so we basically looked after them for the week etc...Dougie Freedman, Clinton Morrison and Neil Ruddock were all absolute top blokes!

Also, Aki is and always will be a legend!
