Jacksgranda Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Bertie Peacock was a decent man. As was his son, Russell. Felix Healy had a fear of flying so travelled back after the Spurs ECWC game in 1982 on the train/boat with us. Rooked us at cards, the so and so. Nice fella, all the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 As previously mentioned Neale Cooer RIP was always a gentleman the couple of times I met him, as was namesake Neil Cooper.Met Willie Miller twice, once poured me a pint in his “nightclub” and actually chatted for a few minutes as it wasn’t that busy. Other time he was getting out of his car outside Pittodrie and just blanked everyone that tried to talk to him. Mind you that could have been the day/week he got binned as manager [emoji15] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Marvin Andrews is a complete gentleman. Really nice, genuine guy. Have heard good stories about Sean Dillon too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Denny Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Davie Provan..twice in the 60s (aye) played in and won a 5s competition at Gourock against him, they complained we had an overage player (we had 4 tbh) Played a round of golf one day at Kilmacolm, walked into the bar and mentioned the golf was on the telly, he promptly turned it over, I was a guest so let it slide.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Gary Caldwell was giving me the stink eye in a West end Edinburgh boozer during his stint at Hibs. He either thought I was someone he knew and didn't like (I wasn't) or is a c**t. Once saw Gary Caldwell in a Stirling nightclub on a Monday night, chatting up girls around 15 years younger than him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that Adam Strachan was far, far worse. Think off the top of my head he: - was involved in a fight/complete debacle with club captain at the time Marc Smyth at a Christmas do, can't remember if Strachan got punted but I'm sure we terminated Smyth's contract over it - got caught by the police at least once, with £2000 worth of class A drugs - headbutted his girlfriend at a bus stop and also threatened to stab her 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Met Willie Miller twice, once poured me a pint in his “nightclub” and actually chatted for a few minutes as it wasn’t that busy. I refuse to believe a Willie Miller owned business was struggling to attract custom. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Marvin Andrews is a complete gentleman. Really nice, genuine guy. Have heard good stories about Sean Dillon too.Apart from Andrews' rampant homophobia, of course.Dillon is one of few current players I've met, and he was a very nice guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoRoss Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Michael Paton, using the 'do you know who I am' when he was a reserve player for Aberdeen. Suppose that probably was the peak of his career. Was over a decade ago, so hopefully was just a bit of youthfulness and alcohol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Footballer: *plays for my team* Me, a simp football fan: "LITERALLY THE NICEST MAN EVER" I've encountered a few footballers in a previous job. Most of them were very nondescript (which was good). A couple stuck out as being noticeably polite. Several were arseholes. If they were out in groups then I did my best to avoid engaging with them because their patter was terrible (although I suspect that feeling would probably be mutual). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I'm sure @Merkland Red was telling me Scott Vernon is surprisingly a total arsehole. The only time I've personally come across them has been in Aberdeen on a Saturday night so probably not the best gauge. Not seen anything particularly bad other than Lee Miller dressed like a total fanny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had his bike with him and he was returning from some long cycle up in the hills. Despite not needing to, and clearly just wanting to get home, he took a couple of minutes out of his day to chat. This was when he was still a player with us. Came across as a very pleasant person, but maybe that was his public side who knows. Aye I've mentioned before I think but from serving Goodwin at my work a few times he came across as a slightly manic but absolutely lovely guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik's tongue Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 This is a bit arse for elbow but I met Gazza when he was at Rangers and he was really sound and I also met Henrik Larsson when he was at Celtic and he was a right dour faced c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
