Your encounters with Celtic players......

i met larsson a good few years back when he still had the dread-locks , it was at the cinemas he was with his girlfriend so i just got a handshake and said hello didnt wana keep him too long as he was goin to see a movie, seemd nice tho

 

Never met any of them unfortunately. Tried to get big pierres auto graph when i went up for my first game but couldn't get through. Saw the team get off the bus for the St mirren thrashing last season, that was a nice experience!

 

Met Nakamura, Gordon Strachan n Tommy Burns during a parkhead tour! Naka waited for hours to sign n take photos with evryone and tommy burns was one of the nicest guys i have met

 

Ive got a hun mate who on a night out last year with some guy from work ended up spending the whole night with the entire squad.It was the Friday after they won the league up in Dundee.He says they were all really good with him as none of them knew him but they knew what he was.Lennon in particular was class he said as he spent the best part of an hour just talking football with him.The only one who acted like an * was Hartley.The big guy is a better man than me as I would be arrested in the same situation as him.


Knock knock
whos there
the handsome hun
no really who is it

 

used to live next door to bobby lennox when i was a kid met a lot of the older players,of recent players met larsson, mjalby, ricco, all nice guys ,also was in a pub when we lost league and some players came in and reggi blinker started spraying champagne about like we had won the league and big stubbs grabbed him by the neck and dragged him outside dont no what he said but reggi never said a word the rest of the night

 

Which players have you met?

Mostly all of them back in 07/08

Where did you meet them?

Celtic Park or the old training ground.
What were they like in person.....were they friendly, big headed?

Most of them were sound, Jarosik was eating a pear lol

What did you speak about?

Spoke to Strachan bout my trial and he told me to come up next monday to the training ground

Were you starstruck?

Meeting Nakamura and Artur Boruc, Also when I met Paul Lambert at the barbors at my bit a few months ago around January if I remember correctly, I was like "Paul?" he was like "Yeah" I was like "What the * its Paul Lambert, McKenna (who was in the shop buying *) hurry up its Paul * Lambert lol he just smiled said alright and went into the barbours.

 

I think Larsonn and big bad John were the nicest the worst was Strachan and Lambert .

 

John Hartson was a great guy. very good to talk to met him in glasgow and told him he was my fav Celtic player ever!!!
Craig Bellamy was a nice guy aswell.....must have got him in a good mood met him at Celtic Park.
Chris Killen was getting wasted and ready to pull, ge stull had time to slag the huns with me Ayr races
Spilled most of my pint on Aiden McGeady's white shirt, but he didnt notice:icon_mrgreen: garage in glasgow, after we beat killie 4-1 on the opening day a few season ago, I was wasted and told him he was man of the match

 

Used to drink with Paddy Crerand & Bertie Auld, Bertie was the best dressed guy in Glasgow and even with his Jimmy Hill chin and his patter he could get any burd he wanted.
The * used too swarm around him and all I got was the left overs.

 

When I worked at Cameron house he Scotland squad were in, I was serving drinks to the 'celtic table' (it was all tims and hibs players) and Broon asked me if I was a tim, I said aye and he shouted over to Barry Bawbag, ''here baz, he's one of us'' and Ferguson shouted back ''shut it ya four million pound flop''

 

What barbers was Lambert at in Johnstone ? And was it Liam McKenna from the castle ?

I've met most of all the first team players just now after matches etc. Also met Bertie Auld, he was a nice guy. My uncles pals with Davie Hay so I've met him a few times too, all great people.

 

met too many to mention and all except one were good experiences

craig beattie outside the players lounge when we beat hearts to win the league, he was injured but he had scored a few important goals at the start of the season,so i broke off my chat with another member of staff to say thanks (and for those who dont know,the corridor outside the lounge is about a meter wide,so i was simply turning around to speak to him) and well done and he said nothing and breezed past me into the lounge. I was not impressed with his distinct lack of class.

the rest of the guys were good,Tommy Burns stands out because we could disagree about things and he would still leave you with a smile . Paul Lambert is a true gent, on the flight home from jerez after the uefa cup final, despite the players being rather upset, he made good on a promise and came to see me with a match programme signed by everybody to give to my newborn son, a wonderful gesture

 

Met Venegoor of Hesselink at the ICT game this year - he was running for the entrance with his bag, looked in a hurry but was still willing to let me get a pic with him. Top man.

Met larsson in September 2001 when i was on the tour and the squad came back to CP after playing the huns at ibrox

 

My brother's been out on the shot with Barry Robson. Said he was sound and a bit of a header. I was told to * off by Mo Jo when he was playing for Falkirk.

 

2 stories here for me which i think i should share...

first one was at a bank machine across from ridleys night club in dundalk , i spotted lenny and mcnamara. chatted briefly...said they were on a mad one...and bombed into ridleys....incidently , i heard what shenanigans they got up to later on...say no more! ( and i will say no more about that!!)

Second story relates more to my father , .. I was playing a number of years ago in a tournament in Glasgow...and my team , management and some of the players fathers (including my own) were staying in the hotel. While we were sleeping , some of the management team and all the fathers went on the beer. They went to a club and met 3 huns....hately , mccoist and durant.
Your talking staunch republicans from bandit country meeting 3 of greyskulls finest sons!...lol..(when i think about it)...but anyways they said the banter was good with the 3 smoking guns and the craic was mighty. it took along time for him to tell me though!

Thought id share that story .

 

Met pretty much all the big players from MO'Ns team as my mates mum ran the player's nursery and we'd just dive in after the games. Played football with Jordan Larsson and that lol.

One thing I remember is that Bobo's wee boy was quite reserved and used to wear turtle necks and colour in with the girls (despite being a monster in the making in terms of size). While Suttons two boys were mental, slide tackling left right and centre :icon_mrgreen:

Met Bobo in the street when he had just signed also. He said "C'est Bien" to me.

Eh. Shook hands with Jan in Kushion once. Saw McGeady but didn't speak to him.

Bobby Lennox after a European game. Tel Aviv or some qualifier. Met Larsson that night aswell.

Met Champage Charlie (on his second spell) aswell when I was 8-9 around 1994 I think.

Met Hartson in the Garage a few weeks ago (he was with Gough) was the end of the night and seemed a bit tired of the attention, so I shook his hand and he gave me a wee nod.

All in all, everyone seemed to be sound. Jan of all people seemed really chuffed with the attention.

 

sat in my grans couch aged about 13 one side of me was frank mcavennie, other side was mo johnston, i sat with ma head down, ma 2 heroes and i didnae no wit to say!

 

Aw come oan man, you CANNOT do that!!!
