Malandro you are correct about Staunton. He is a proper prick. He was most certainly not my hero, but i remember getting Paul McGrath to sign a book just as the team were off to Barnsley in 1997 ish for an FA Cup match. I said to Staunton C'mon Steve lets bring the Cup back home this season as we havent won it for 40 years. He replied in his irish teang ..."we won a cup last year" and jumped on the coach!
Just rememberd meeting Paul Mcgrath at the villa store in the pavillions when he was book signing. I clammed up and only said"my Mum used to live not far from you in Dublin, on Arbour Hill, You know by the prison". Paul Smiled and said yeah i know it, shook my hand and laughed!
My old man met John Carew at the Fort shopping centre a few years ago, very polite and humble apparently. Curtis Davies once came inches away from running me over.

I met Shaun Teale when he was managing Burscough and he was great.
