Of big famous players it must be Zidane and Zola.

He failed at a shitty club like Everton but the man who I loved the most ever must be Tobias Linderoth, when he came here he fought like no other has ever in the club. I especially remember him once while the game was still going standing over our own forward who had yet again made a dumb decision and just screaming him right in the face because he again took a shot instead of passing to what would have been a sure goal. This photo sums up his personality on the pitch fairly well.

End of Feb 2005 went into the Shakespeare pub in Bristol for a couple of after work liveners and to meet a mate. Pub was empty at around 6.30pm.

Got a pint then did a double take as sat in the corner was Peter Osgood. He was having a red wine before going next door to the Unicorn Hotel to talk to the Bristol City players in some motivational after dinner do.

They say you should never meet your heroes as you'll be disappointed, but I wasnt -chatted to him for over an hour about old games, He talked about the pub he ran with Hutch, how Ramsay was a snob and didnt really like him which was why he wasnt picked for that Brazil game. He was also very bitter about Ken Bates who'd shown him the door at Stamford Bridge in his ambassador role. but he had some great stories. Also anecdotes about George Best. He bought me another 2 pints and my mate one and I bought him 2 red wines.

He was my idol as I grew up and as far as I was concerned the best. One of the greatest evenings of my life even though I was bit overawed, he was down to earth and great company. Sadly almost a year to the day he died.

Wow. You lucky guy, incredible. The feeling to have met a true legend, and to know he was as genuine as perceived, the feeling must be unforgettable?
