Have you worked with any ex sportsmen

[Musicman]

Plenty of ex semi pro footballs, but Richard Dunn ex boxer worked with us offshore, talked us through his fight video with Ali. Took a couple of quid off all of us and stuck it in the charity. Heard plenty stories he was tight but he gave our money to charity

 

[jcrossan]

Worked in the next cubicle beside Micheal Johnson - arguably the best 400 metre runner ever - covering the 2001 world track and field championships in Edmonton. IIRC was working for NBC at the time. Nice bloke too.

 

[humbug]

worked with joe bolton on the wagons at the co-op.

 

[The Legendary Tongue]

No.

 

[Dagzd1973]

Aye, but, I wouldn't want to share it on here because if they read it they'd know it's me and call me a dick.

I don't like being called a dick.

 

[The Silky Assassin]

Worked with Kenny Mitchell. Always used to say he made Gary Rowell's name and he couldn't get a point off him.

 

[Rpd1988]

Used to work at the hotel last season and the players would stay there before a home game, should of hoyed some performance enhancing drugs in their fancy water bottles.

Just tell us man, stop being a dick.

I see him fairly regular where he works now

I once made Brendan Foster pay a fine on overdue books in Low Fell Library, if that counts! He was not happy. Oh and I chucked Gazza out of Dunston Library too.

 

[Red N White Baron]

I once signed the dole at the same time as Craig Russell's sister. Does that count?

Were you sitting next to Brendan Foster in the commentary box at the athletics?

Likewise, I too worked offshore with Richard Dunn.
Good crack.
I always liked the Ali stories - "say goodnight Richard.."

Also worked with an ex-Celtic player - Pat McCluskey. - He had a few great tales to tell in the coffee shop offshore.

 

[Steeeeeeed]

Used to work in petrol station in Salford and worked with a former Blackburn player, Jim Branagan. Never knew he used to play until a year and a half after we started. Only knew as some fans came in looking for him as they were wanting autographs of players of the 80s

 

[What A Waster]

Used to do a bit sheet metal work in Gosforth. One of the lads reckoned his son was a canny player.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I was once chatting to Kimi Raikonnen at a party and Michael Schumacher walked up. He expected us to stop talking but we carried on, that was pretty awkward

I'm also pretty good mates with Floyd Mayweather and Tommy Hearns

I once got arrested by Mick Angus who used to play for the Boro in the 80s before joining the police - does that count?
