Love Terrigal

I bumped into Shaun Edwards outside a Kebab shop in Poplar, London about 10 years ago, he said that the Broncos would win at Knowsley Road the next week, and we did!

None in England. Here in Brisbane Tonie Carroll at Movieworld, Allan Langer and Andy Gee outside Langer's pub on the Sunshine Coast, Carl Webb in a restaurant (I forget which, before he left Brisbane), plus many other sightings - including being amazed at just how small Lee Smith and Mark Calderwood were when I saw them coing out of (a really cr*ppy) hotel on the Tri Nations a few years back.

Spoke to Ade Gardener and Sean Long in 'Nexus' in St. Helens after they won the 2006 Grand Final.

it was east hull v myton warriors

Interesting as I met Maninga in the same place, it was the evening Cas were playing the Aussie tourists many years ago. He hadn't played but was obviously "sent" to get the post-match tucker - he walked out with the biggest order I have ever seen. The woman behind the counter was trying desperately to convince him to have it delivered but he was having none of it. He signed a chinese menu for me which I have to this day.

Jamie Thackray and Danny Tickle in Pozition in Hull most weekends, see Reece Lyne in there occasionally too. Also saw Mark O'Meley at Wembley for this seasons Challenge Cup final.

A bar in Chorlton in Manchester was advertising an appearance by Keiron Cunningham at 9pm last night. Wonder what he was doing there? I'm guessing a hotdog eating contest. I bet he romped it as well - the guy is a born winner (eater).

bumped into the beaver in edinburgh on the sunday after the bulls played last years MM, he actually walked past me and i had to do a double take and run after him for a photo, i love the beaver. he was pretty cool and so was his wife, offering to take the photo for us, then asking us what 80's schlock power ballad was being played in a tat shop.

jason hooper bumped into me trying to get passed someone in the trafford centre many moons ago, i asked him if he only did that cos i had my wire shirt on.

oh and francis maloney in blackpool pleasure beach in july 2008, looking bored as .

My wife nearly crashed her car into cudjoes on the roundabout near the galpharm, that's as close to a bump I have with a player

Just saw Paul Sironen near Wynyard Station this afternoon. Must have been going for a wander round Lowes

Make that both of us!

Terrible? Only has one giant pub, squashed in there like cattle, how can you blokes stand it? Beach is nice.

Saw Willie Mason in my local last night, ed out of his head, he didn't make much sense he kept mubbling something about a kebab.

Can't complain though he got me a beer, paid for it with a uk credit card.

joel monoghan...in a supermarket two weekends back. i had a paramatta shirt on at the time. it was then followed by me trying to explain who he was, and we he was playing over here to my girlfriend at a low enough volume for no-one else, or him to hear...

Met Danny Buderus and a few other Aussies after they had just beaten GB at Huddersfield. Seemed like a nice bloke.

We were stood on the raised seating area in the bar at Keighley Cougars when my daughter dropped her crisps over the balustrade - they all fell neatly down the back of Stuart Fieldens neck - he didn't look amused. I pulled out a photo of big Willy and he sat back down

I saw Darren Lockyer on a plane (he was coming over to commentate on the chalenge cup final, iirc). He was a nice guy, signed some broncos merchandise we'd brought back for my little cousin.

A few of my uni frends from Leeds have bumped into Ryan Bailey on nights out in Leeds city centre. He pushed in front of one of my mates, in teh queue to get in a club, when my mate questioned what he was doing, he said something along the lines of: 'do you know who i am', and then threatened him. Another mate bumped into him in an alleyway, Bailey told him to turn around and walk away, otherwise he would batter him, my mate said somthing like: 'but i need to go this way to meet some people... and im a rhinos fan' Bailey responded: 'i dont care, turn around' ... what a nice guy...

1999 Ashes test at the SCG bumped in to Matt Nixon who had played for Leigh the previous season.

Sat behind Greame West on a replacement bus service between Crewe and Wigan on the way back from last years challenge cup final. He saw my Wigan shirt and asked me what I thought of the game.

Used to see Les Quirk in The Railway (Lindal-in-Furness) pretty regularly.

Been in West's cab a couple of times. Nice fella and always up for a chat about rugby. Got a photo with John Monie in France a couple of years back, very modest chap.

Had a bit of banter with Billy Slater in Paris In 2009. He wasn't half the twunt I was expecting him to be

Made me chuckle...thanks!

Served pretty much all the St Helens 2007 squad at the Tesco petrol station near Knowsley Road, when I worked their part time whilst at uni. Wasted Sean Long's time when he was in a rush, offering him a clubcard, schools vouchers, taking ages to do his fuel transaction. Steve Ganson came in once and Tommy Martyn was a regular on a Sunday morning.

Calderwood losing on the dogs in Will Hill in Wigan one morning.

Richard Moore, he jumped over me, to attack a bouncer outside a bar in Bingley in 2005. Also seen him in the bookies in Keighley and in Bondi in Leeds.

Ryan Bailey pushing his way to bar in Revoloution in Leeds, last year, I got served before him.

Karl Pryce at Jumpin Jaks in Bradford in 2004, he was massive.

Ray French, multiple times down at Liverpool St Helens RU, he used to make the hotpot after uni rugby training on a Tuesday night.

Some Widnes players in Blackpoolin 2008, can't remember who as I was very drunk, remember telling them Widnes were dog.

Sam Tomkins at Leigh last week when we played Quins
