Inspired by (stolen from) another forum, looking for people’s anecdotes of boring meetings/interaction, recently or from donkeys years ago.
My starter for ten is that I saw Alan Brazil in the Anchor Pub in Nayland. I smiled at him, & he smiled back at me.

When I was working at Aston Villa I used the toilet after Chris Kamara.
Good God. Kammy must have frequented a curry house the night before, the smell was something else. |
I hope you turned on your heel immediately and stumbled out of the door shouting "Unbelievable, Jeff!" |  |

Or alternatively, waved furiously in front of his nose and proclaimed "I really don't know what's going on, Jeff" |  |

After the 4-1 debacle at Bolton that saw us effectively relegated from the Prem, my mates and I were stuck in one of the myriad of motorways in Greater Manchester, trying to get back down south and to forget about football for a while.
Youri Djorkaeff was in a very big Range Rover next to us. I shouted 'w@nker' at him, he showed me the score on his hands followed by the universal sign for relegation.
Subsequent shouts of 'w@nker' were ignored.
The End. [Post edited 24 Jul 2023 15:47]

Oddly, this game prompts a memory for me. The awful experience of the game, followed by dreadful traffic on a lovely sunny day, was not diminished whe we saw Jamie Clapham, also in a Range Rover. JC gave smiley thumbs up to my son.
I think he scored our goal and in my young son's mind, seeing the goal scorer and getting a 'thumbs up' totally eclipsed the football misery.
I was still entrenched in the misery of the game. | | | |

Waiting for a taxi outside Centurion Park in S. Africa following a day at the Test match in 2000, Bruce Grobelaar walked past me and my mates.
I heard the remark ‘Oh no, look who’s coming’ and we all just started giggling due to a full day on the cold drinks.
Bruce looked slightly bemused |
I played golf with Bruce Grobbelaar in a charity day 10 or so years ago. He was definitely an "interesting" character (as well as being a very good golfer. I got to have a beer & chat with Russell Osman after the round & he was a good guy (as well as also a very good golfer).
My personal highlight was Mark Bright hooking a drive onto the practice ground & insisting on searching for his ball amongst several hundred other similar white, round spheres. I did not offer to help. |  |

Years ago I was on the supporters coach returning from an away game - the Town coach passed. A few people clapped and Micky Stockwell smiled and waved before closing the curtain next to his window seat. The Town coach zoomed past and I don’t think I saw it again on that journey back. |  | | |

I was out in L’apres I think it was called back then, with a few mates, one of whom was good mates with Dyer so we were all out together.
Some guy passed me some champagne. Turned round. It was Ashley Cole. Said cheers whilst thinking I recognised him from somewhere. Realised a few seconds later who it was. This was I guess 2005 time so height of his England fame.
He realised I realised who he was and I’d had a few so probably stared awkwardly for a few seconds and that was that. Didn’t speak a word to him all night. | | | |

I saw Carlton Cole at Cobham services once, I smiled at him and he just stared back |  | | |

I nodded at Kevin Bru in ASDA at 10pm. He smiled. |  |
