Maybe it's just me, but as a guy approaching his 50th Birthday, it just strikes me as somewhat weird that chaps of a similar age want to get photos with footballers of which some are less than half their age and then worse than that plaster them all over social media pretty much saying look at me. Anything other than sportsman this would seem somewhat cringeworthy, perhaps it's just my age but I find it all very strange. Just felt I had to get that off my chest. |  |

I dunno, is it weird that you have a picture of a man much younger than you as your avatar? |  |

Some think it odd that any adult wants to wear a replica football shirt to games or wear it at other times. Each to their own. |  |

Fat guys definitely shouldnt wear football shirts. Not a good look. | |

I'll be honest I do agree with you, seeing blokes queue for a selfie with Woolfenden etc is a little odd, not sure my pride would let me even if I wanted to for whatever reason. Perhaps says more about me than anything else though. I do also think it depends on the level of 'celebrity'. With div 3 Town players it's definitely worse, if I saw a 50 year old bloke having a selfie with Kane I probably wouldn't think it was as cringe.
Equally each to their own, live and let live innit. They're not hurting anyone. |  |

Good for you. He was more than happy to pose with me and my mate, and we shook his hand too. Absolute legend, and I'm not remotely embarrassed about it. | |

Any grown up watching wrestling is a bit cringe imo | | | |

I’ve never done it and couldn’t bring myself to do it, too contrived for me. The only time I’ve been tempted was when I was stood beach club bar in Ibiza next to Pirlo. The guy oozed class though and the thought vanished as quickly as it came. | | | |

I once had a coffee in a place where the only other customer was Leonard Cohen. I've been a fan most of my life, but did not interrupt him. I find I neither regret that nor am proud of it. Just seemed normal to me. |  | | |

I went to a Club Bruges game recently and spotted at least two grown men in full kit on the terraces, socks included. Couldn't tell if they were wearing shin pads as well. |  |

Johnny Wark, a couple of years ago. |
Which is at least understandable given his status and also his outgoing nature.
Guessing the opportunity was appropriate as well.
It's those like the bloke on the other thread who interrupted Nathan Jones during a meal that I can't get my head around. Have some basic respect for the man and oneself ffs. |  |

Did you give him any suit advice? | |

I hit the big 50 yesterday and broadly agree with you. That said, I have photos with over half the 2000 playoff winning squad from the cornhill, golden lion celebrations. Marcus Stewart (proudly wearing his winners medal!), Naylor, DJ, Croft, Magilton, J Wright… I was 28 and quite drunk but absolutely delighted I asked them for a photo [Post edited 30 Sep 2022 13:24]
