Football365 have a page devoted to folks spotting various football types on their hols. The page is here

A few kinda interesting samples....

In the 'Damn I left Boston too soon category...
"I was on the subway in Boston with some friends and we recognised Bobby Robson on the other end of the subway car with his wife! We got off at our stop and noticed that they had too, so my friend Sean asked him for a photo. Bobby asked for directions to get another train. We gave him the directions and got a quick photo in return!"

"Not only did I see Newcastle 'star' and entrepreneur Warren Barton in Dayton, Ohio... I shook his hand and had a chat with him! Actually, I was attending a coaches' lecture about to be given by friend Barton, who runs a soccer tours sports company in his spare time. However, a massive thunderstorm put paid to the occasion before it even began. Still, Mr Barton revealed to me the surprising news that he is a Gooner (as I am). What chance of a move to Highbury? Well, none really."

"As we stumbled out of a bar we bumped into Ipswich's Marcus Stewart, walking up the street of seedy hotspot Magaluf. He was a nice guy and agreed to have his picture taken with us drunkards. Unlike the usual footballer he was kitted out in a dashing pair of flip flops and a t-shirt/short combo. He then told us he was 'off to Bananas', so expect a transfer to monkey-head Peter Reid's Sunderland in the next few days..."

Also the usual stories of footballers off their heads drunk in Ayia Napia. Hope Dr. Bill didn't take his hols there again this year! ;-)

Hmmmm.....somehow this part of my original post got eaten. Trying again...Teehee

"I saw Peter Reid at Liverpool airport going on his hols with who I guessed was his missus and parents. He was on his way to Nice but the tight bugger was flying EasyJet! Surely he can afford his own Lear Jet by now?"

Did you see the one about Munchkin being spotted crying about not being in the England squad?

-- Anonymous, July 01, 2001

The munchkin was in the british virgin islands. I know this as a mate of mine was on honeymoon there at the same time.Also there was Mickey bridges.By the way the munchkin was quoted as saying that even if he was called upon he has a torn stomach muscle and therefore would not be available.So if he was crying about non-selection what would nearly all of your bloody squad doing?? Wailing wall anyone?

I think our squad were just delighted to be playing for their national teams - Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Greece, Peru, Scotland etc. Obviously none of these lads would be crying about not playing for England. Hey, chill out, it wasn't me who published the story..take it up with 365 if you've a problem.

Well at the risk of sounding childish we probably had more players away than you.Nah nah nah nah!There seems to be a lack of hostility today.Is everyone out and about?

I think everyone is just really bored. We really need Lancaster Red to come on and inject a bit of life in to the place.

Yet another thread that has degenerated into slagging. Sewpa and SMB - you are as bad as each other. And you're killing this board.
