I have met a few, my latest was few weeks ago:
I was in my local earlier this season, and someone from accross the pub shouted at this bloke stood next to me at the bar.
"what was the score on saturday?"
"4-4 thriller!" he said.
I turned towards the bloke (who I recognised as a local), pointed in the direction of the local football club.
"Sounds like you need some decent defenders! what's it like down Alphington FC? I might sign up"
Bloke looks at me and says.
"errrr, no idea mate. I'm Exeter city defender Richard Duffy!"
"oh ***t, unlucky!" I said.

I met Ljungberg and Viera in Finchley Road, at different times. My mum met Reyes in John Lewis while I went off to do my own shopping

Ive met him before, but i'm going to a wedding this year that Theo is going to also. My application to be put on his table was denied though!!

don't worry, just make sure you sit on one of the tables around the edge of the room. have one of the groomsmen pass him a ball, and he'll come running to the edge where you're sitting - before coming to a complete stop with a vacuous look on his face.

Paddy, Pires and Henry were all having coffee at my local cafe on Hampstead high street. But still willing to chat for a few minutes.
Most down to earth people you could ever meet.

+ Glenn Helder in the tube. He was wearing a track suit. Putting clothes on in front of everyone. Northern line near East Finchley.
Only recognised him because of his ID card for the training ground in his open bag.

Almost forgot this one... saw james beatie (southampton days) in a queue for nightclub in Torquay during the summer.
He was v drunk and bouncer refused him entry. he started ranting and raving shouting 'do you know who i am!'. The whole queue was laughing at him. eventually he waddled off into the night.
could never understand what a epl footballer, earning big money was doing in torquay.
