So, with City having no midweek game, there is time for a special edition of this blog. Ive decided to make the theme of this article: Famous Footballers Youve Met. Basically, I will list some of the more distinguished names Ive encountered from the footballing world Moritz Wagner Jersey , and then anyone else can post a comment at the end, detailing who they have come acro s.Sven Goran Erikkson: I met the former Man City and England manager outside a restaurant in the centre of Manchester and congratulated the Swede on his fantastic start as manager. He seemed a nice enough chap, stopping for a short chinwag with his wife, along with fellow City coach Tord Grip.Elano Blumer: The Brazilian playmaker visited my school last year for a charity football match. Surprisingly small in stature but full of trickery and good manners, Elano made a healthy impre sion on me.George Weah: The current Liberian politician was Citys captain when I was mascot for a pre-season match against Oldham. A world-cla s player to lead you out, a penalty scored past Nicky Weaver, and a thumping City victory. It turned outto be a good day!Morten Gamst Pedersen:I came acro s Morten in the same restaurant whereI saw Sven, although I must confe s that I didnt know whohe was.The blonde-haired midfielderwas being interviewed by Sky Sports News just after signing for Blackburn, and he certainly had a star presence.Nedum Onuoha: Met him once in town, when we were both in the City store at the Arndale Centre. Seems a very pleasant and friendly chap.Arsene Wenger: Not just Wenger, but all the Arsenal first-team squad were at the Lowry Hotel when I saw them. Had a brief chat with Pat Rice about our hatred of Manchester United.Javier Garridos parents: When I was in Santander for Citys UEFA Cup match against Racing Santander, Garridos parents were sitting just seats away from me, so, in my dodgy Spanish, I asked them for their autographs. They duly obliged and we had a lovely little conversation.Phil Neville: Just like Elano, Neville visited my school, albeit courtesy of a helicopter, in order to promote his charity. Didnt get the chance to speak to him, but wouldnt have wanted to anyway (former United b*****d)Geroge Weah: then and now
