Based on a couple of recent posts, Skiathos is winning the unofficial cool stories competition, which isn't actually a competition, because that wouldn't be very cool at all.
Anyway, if you've got a cool story, when you bumped into a Spurs legend, or Rockstar, Popstar, Filmstar, A- list Celebrity or Royalty, then tell us........TV soapstars and Donald Trump don't count.
Here's a couple to get you started; about 20 odd years ago I was 'lucky' enough to be invited to watch QPR play Spurs at Loftus road from the Directors box, a friend of a friend and all that knew the QPR Chairman - a certain Richard Thompson, once reknown as the most hated man in football and someone who received bullets through the post. Anyway I can't remember the score, but I do remember after the game Alan Sugar and this guy Thompson having a laugh and a bet that Thompson wouldn't get £10m for Les Ferdinand when they sold him. The bet was an Amstrad computer and £100. They are the sort of people that were running the clubs at the time and that's how much respect they had for the players, fans and history of the clubs they were stewarding.
The other one is that I sat next to Gary Mabbutt at a Tina Turner gig at Wembley Arena. Wanted to talk football, heroes and villains to him all night but felt I couldn't as it would have ruined his evening. Was a hero of mine back then, still is now.
You lot must have loads better than that....lets hear them, Skiathos no showing off, no-one likes a show off!!
