What’s a memory, experience or claim to fame you have that sounds far-fetched?

    I once played a joke on a colleague in Ohio, USA that escalated into the Columbus vice squad being called in and staking out our hotel and rooms.

    Just before the Chelsea cup game went to see my mate ( a chelsea supporter) at Tankersley Manor. He was staying there. The Chelsea team also stayed there before the match. The Chelsea team was coming out to go down to Oakwell ( Grove St) , this was about 1:30 ish in the afternoon I think. Security were stopping people going in but I somehow attached myself to a member of the hotel staff and we were walking in through the main entrance together just as the chelsea team were going out. The entrance was quite narrow and I "accidentally " gave John Terry a bit of my shoulder to chew on. The look he gave me !!!

    I attribute all our success that day to my actions .............

    About the same time I played against World Cup winner Alan Ball,(he played for Eastern FC in the HK 1st Div). But what is really weird after the game in our Club bar, both drunk, we sang a duet. I remember the song we sang was that drunken man’s favourite “Heart of my Heart” the Four Aces.
