Ugo Ehiogu

[DBTW]

I met Ehiogu once, by chance. It was only a momentary meeting, and I came away thinking he was an arrogant prick.

Funny that. I had a chance meeting with him in a Birmingham nightclub - forget which one - and he was at the bar with friends drinking champagne. I started talking to him (he was still at Villa then) and he immediately got me a glass and poured me some champagne and was happy to carry on chatting. i don't like the stuff but didn't want to appear rude so drank and carried on chatting. He seemed a top bloke.

Same happened with me, but the player in question was no other than Lee Hendrie. I found him to be one of the nicest guys I had ever met. I was in a round with him, Gareth Barry, Darren Byfield and some other guy. The round was more than I earned in a week at the time, when it was my turn Lee paid again.

No chance at all that he is a bit thick though tall and athletic, then?

I remember an away game at the Dell where I shouted and screamed at him, saying he would never make it as a central defender (that is the polite version). Think we lost 4-1 or something like that and he had a shocker. Pretty early on in his Villa career in fairness...

Shouting and swearing at a young Villan and you call yourself a supporter? Tut-tut Richard.

Well I wasn't talking with him about quantum physics, or  creationism theorem as a scientific paradigm, so I can't call that one.

I met him in spain in 2000 he came on holiday with the rest of the lads minus Merson & Alan Wright. Cheeky fucker tried to bum a fag off me, I told him to buy his own and he shouldn't be smoking anyway.

I told him he had to stay at Villa as he was being linked away at the time, He just said it wasn't down to him.

You should have done, his views on quantum entanglement and decoherence are really quite enlightening.
