My text got read out on Talk Sport yesterday. They were asking for times you've seen players in a supermarket. My text which was read out word for word was -
'About 20 years ago I worked in Sainsbury's Ipswich. Over a 2 year period Marcus Stewart asked me where he could find the following -
Mushrooms, Garlic, pre washed lettuce, Lemon grass and onions (twice).
Fabian Wilnis also asked where he could find Apple crumble. I wasn't sure so pointed him in the direction of the cooking apples and the crumble mix'
They also wished Marcus Stewart well which was a nice touch.
Anyone else had any supermarket experiences which town (or other club) players?

John Wark coming out of Stow Tesco a few weeks back. My wife wondered why I went a bit giddy | | | |

Saw Jamie Clapham in Morrisons in around 2000. |
I saw Jamie Clapham at Sainsburys in Solihull after he'd signed for Birmingham. He looked like he was buying a lottery ticket, but he can't have been can he? Do top flight footballers do the lottery? |  | | |

When I was about 8/9 I saw John Wark in Everybody's Hobbies just before Xmas. I was shopping for Scalectrics cars. My dad was quite excited and started talking to him, he was a lovely fella and advised that I bought the Black/Gold JPS-branded Lotus (Senna perhaps?).
When I lived in the UAE, I was in a bar called Barasti and a very drunk Carlton Palmer licked my face. He also remarked that I have a very large nose, which is sadly true. |  | | |

Saw Bart clear out the Co-op on Woodbridge Rd of 40 bottles of discounted shampoo, bizarre.
Saw Harness in Waitrose and got a pic of him with my boy.
In fact, think most of the first team go into Waitrose most days after training. |  |

I saw Tony Mowbray in Lakeside. My dad used to select a Christmas Tree for him for a few years too.
Craig Forrest got something down from the top shelf for my mum in Sainsbury’s (cornflakes, not a porno mag!) and she also had coffee with Brian Talbot’s mum now and again.
My dad played golf with Alex Mathie a few times at Waldringfield and was also told to p1ss off by Bobby Robson. Oh how I laughed.
Me? Nothing much. Accidentally walked into Fatima Whitbread (old javelin chucker) in Tescos at Copdock. She looked like an enraged buffalo so I fled the aisle rapidly. [Post edited 17 Jul 2023 14:32]

Saw Richard Wright in Sainsbury’s staring at the Sunny Delight. Forgot something and back tracked only to find him still looking at it. |  |

I saw Broady in there a couple of weeks ago, when this board sent me there for fresh fish.
I managed to resist the urge to casually whistle the "duh duh, duh-duh-duh duh-duh" bit from "Just can't get enough" whilst standing next to him and studiously avoiding eye contact. Wish I had let the urge take me now!
Got some bargain reduced mackerel (North Sea) too. |  |

I saw Brian Gunn years back in a Norwich pub and was struck by his funny high sqeaky voice - just didn;t match the big man. |  |

A conversation between Bryan Gunn and Ian Marshall must have been a joy to behold. Two hulking ugly blokes both sounding like Minnie Mouse. | | | |

Many years ago back in the 80’s I worked in an Unemployment Benefit Office and used to sign on Alan Sunderland once a fortnight at the Hertford office. Always found him a very nice man and not all our claimants were! | | | |

That Sainsbury's Warren Heath is a popular one it seems - saw Daryl Murphy in there once. |  | | |

I packed Sir Alf and his wife’s shopping for them in Sainsbury’s Warren Heath in about 1998. He was clearly not very well at the time.
I saw Richard Wright in front of me in the queue at M&S in town about 10-12 years ago, maybe a bit longer ago. Had a trolley full of absolute junk food crap, all crisps sweets biscuits etc which cost him £175, which he didn’t bat an eyelid over, but nearly made me faint 🤣 I hope he was buying this crap for a kid’s birthday party otherwise he doesn’t have a healthy diet at all |  | | |

Was in Wigan bowling centre years ago. Jan Molby on next bowling lane with his family . Had a chat about footy. |
I imagine Jan Molby in a bowling alley, sitting in the booth round the centre lane console, just pinging 12lb balls out to the far lanes on either side. Strike every time. | | | |

Poor Fatima. Left waiting like an eejit while the Saturday boy went to get her a large box of offal from out the back, and a galumphing Churchman crashes into her. | | | |

Gunny was usually pretty reliable holding his drinks. There was that one time Robert Ullathorne got a round in and went to pass him one... | | | |

Not supermarket related, but back in the 70's, 3 of us, aged 9 - 11, were walking home , having spent the day on Christchurch Park.
As we walked along Tuddenham Road, car pulls up.
Driver say's ,"where you off to lads"
We all reply, "just walking home"
Driver say's "jump in, I'll give you a lift"
We looked at each other, "yes ok" and jumped into the car.
Now this goes against everything that we were taught as children and, which we have now also taught our own children. The only difference on this occasion, we all recognised who the driver was, it was Robin Turner, soon to be famous for saving our cup run in the away draw to Bristol Rovers. |  | | |

I was wandering about in a bit of a daze, as you do in Tescos. How else could I have lumbered into such a big unit? Glad she wasn’t carrying a javelin. | | | |

He went to try to pick his pint off the bar, but just as he got there the pint hit a rumpled bar towel, popped up over his hand and smashed on the floor, along with all of the perennially empty hopes and dreams of the sullen denizens of Carrot Road.
(sorry Ullaa) | |

It wasn't his javelin, he was just pleased to be there |  |
