I think it may be time for a new
QOTIBFTPHave you ever met a footballer?I met Francis Jeffers in a Yates Lodge in Liverpool in 2004. He had been loaned back to Everton because, well, he was a bit gooseberry fool! My Evertonian housemate came out of the pub as we were going past (different drinking groups) and told us that he was in there. He was on the upper floor balcony facing away from the window, so you could just see a silhouette of a human man with EARS! We went in and had a chat with him and he was an alright bloke, can't really remember what I said but I was conscious I didn't want to rub in the fact that we were flying high in the league and he'd been binned off back to his old club. My friend tried to get him to sign for Brighton
I also met Paul Merson in the toilets at Lord's during an ODI. Was a bit odd because he's obviously an ex-Arsenal player from my childhood so i was starstruck, but it's fair to say he's definitely pulled a lot of cards from the bellend deck as well...
