The Everton Forum • Re: Meeting players

My first memory of meeting a player was Tommy Wright used to get on the bus at aigburth when he was playing..used to get chatting with everyone just like one of the lads….i injured me ankle once playing and I was in the treatment room when my greatest hero Alan ball came in with Joe Royle I was laid on the bed in between them and apart from being gobsmacked they were chatting along as though they knew me….worked for a bit with big nev when he was doing a bit at Huddersfield…he used to coach a couple nights at Huddersfield then travel to Torquay to manage and play of a weekend….amazing bloke dead honest and down to earth…
TBF I’ve met few pros and ex pros and their all sound with the exception of one who I didn’t take to…..
