Basically let's chat about meeting famous footballers or managers. Has anyone ever met a major football icon in person?

Nah, they don't like visiting me under my rock :c Though I did have a friend who took a picture with Wenger in New Jersey lol

Not sure if it counts as a footballer or a manager, but i've met, and hugged United's mascot, Fred The Red!! Lol! Hehe! :D

A. Robben in Eindhoven city center the Netherlands :). Quite a nice humble guy.

Got signed by Clarence Seedorf, and completely ignored by Kaka in the same hour (not to blame him, but he's not that friendly compare to other AC Milan players when we welcome them in the Netherlands, he completely ignored the fans while the others highfived or signed autographs)

@DarioUtd: lollllz I love those mascots...

Screw this, someone get a plane ticket. XD But seriously, one of the biggest regret I will have was not invading the pitch of stade saputo to try to get a selfie with Drogba when he was still with us. :(

PS: Last thing is joke just to make it clear. :P

@Emo: I totally thought you were serious,

before that last sentence bro :O LOLLLLL

@tuan: Yeah i know! Lol, they are pretty funny things! :D

I got see the man Marc Overmars! He was a pretty cool guy. I also saw Robin Van Persie (may his soul rest in peace, wherever he is)

Life is short, but not worth it without seeing the legends Bergkamp and Henry! These guys are the real GOAT, whether you agree or not!!

Some mascots are really funny. One of the mascots gave a referee a red card for his poor performance. I lost it haha.

@tuan_jinn Well, I do regret not getting a ticket to watch him play in Montreal though (even if that would have been very complicated for me to get) but I would never ever think of doing a pitch invasion, would be stupid. :P

Savage man. XD

Fun topic! Will be cool to see what more peeps say. :)

Does Robbie from AFTV count lads? He's the biggest football icon there is. Can't beat that!

My aunt was in ashley coles class.
And my old science teacher taught sterling. He was a lazy student.
