One of the most knowledgable ex-players I know never played above League of Wales level. Knows the game inside out, though.
what position in society has led you to meeting so many ex footballers in your time ?

I have met Andy legg , Steve sherlock , Brian attley , Phil dryer, Cyrille regis , Ron Healey, Mark bonner , Steve mcphail , Roger gibbins , nick Richardson, windy Millar etc and thats by being cool
