rjw63 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Got some holiday booked after Wednesday, so excited. Can't make my mind up where to go. The kitchen and the bedroom look favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him again the other day but bottled saying anything. But one of his recent instagram posts confirmed it. In fact my car could be seen in it as he was doing an indoor workout from the garage in our apartments I'll definitely say something next time I met Tony Daley last month when I did the Villa Park guided tour. He seems a very genuinely nice fella. Very softly spoken but was happy to give everyone a bit of his time. Have you planned what your opening line will be? It's hard not to appear like an excited school child 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I remember seeing Tony Daley's debut at VP. He's now a grandfather. I feel really old 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 6, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think meeting "famous people" is something you just get used to, they tend to appreciate not being treated as famous in the main, they react better to normality rather than startstruck. Some obviously don't, some are just Grade A words removed, aren't they Peter Kay? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I must have mentioned this plenty of times, I was Bert Weedon’s dealer for one long summer back in the day. He just couldn’t have been a nicer more grounded guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex-wife’s uncle was one of the assistant coaches to Graham Taylor and gave it to me shortly before we broke up, which was just great timing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine your worst one and the add a slight Swedish language barrier. **** me I actually met Graham Taylor at a wedding some 15 years ago or so, never been so giddy! We had a chat but I can’t remember what about, I recall asking him about Lee Hendrie though and he said ‘he lies so much he doesn’t even know when he’s doing it any more’. I then went on to pitch Newport County as an investment proposal to another ex player who went on to become a Director at Man City, can’t remember his bloody name though! Think he used to play for Arsenal as a defender (edit - Brian Marwood) Suffice to say, pissed out of my face my pitch fell on deaf ears haha Edited April 6, 2020 by bannedfromHandV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Whilst working at Man Utd I had a piss next to GT after tailing him for about 2 minutes all the way to bog (not deliberately we were just both going at the same time). Just as we'd both pulled our todgers out and began proceedings he turned to me and said "are you following me lad". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double the recommended dose. He didn’t like the other random biscuits so every day I made sure he got two mini packs of custard creams. Summer season, Butlins. I imagined it would lead to bigger things, party invites, Studio 54, connections, little black books, light aircraft flying low bringing in packs of the stuff direct from Burtons . But it just never quite happened. Feds were all over us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
