My dad used to play football with Alex Mcleish when he was a kid. He also used to play drums in I think it was Jim Baxter's pub when he lived in Scotland aswell.

As for me, I don't know anyone, but living in Canada, there's no Canadian players worth knowing or even worth mentioning.

Played in a youth team with both Louie and Tom Soares (Barnet & Crystal Palace)

I don't know if he's in the game anymore, but Ryan Crockford was in the Reading squad in FM07. Went to school with him, and always thought he was a dick. He was released from Reading, but think he went to Woking or something.

He's recently been arrested for an unprovoked stabbing in Reading town centre.

He always was a **** icon_biggrin.gif

Someone stop this thread -- it's keeping me from playing FM08!

My old coach (who had a stint with Stockport County), now coaching locally in Western Australia, is good friends with a Lecaister City player from the 90s. Can't quite remember, but it might have been Steve Claridge.

Wicked! In FM07 he became Chelsea's super striker.

Played in the same youth team as Mark Noble and have his old mobile number as well as chatting regularly to his cousin.

Mate of mine has terry venables for an uncle and managed to share a pint with him at a party a few years back (brownest white man i`ve ever seen)

I know Gavin McCann former Everton, Aston Villa and England and now plays for Bolton. He went to my high school, and sometimes comes and watches my village team play. His father used to work FOR my dad and his dad also managed my local village team. My friends did some work for Kiegan Parker at Blackpool and said his flat is full of pictures of men and it is believed he is a bender. My friend knows and lived near Colin Hendry, apparently his daughter is amazing! My friends father used to be a physio at Arsenal and he said Wenger is a complete smackhead! I also once met Valerie Singleton (she presented Blue Peter for years) at an airport in Barbados. She isn't a footballer, but still, it's a famous person.

John Owens, Liverpool youth coach (actually Acadamy Head), was my matchs teacher at school for a time.

During that time, he was Assistant Manager at Runcorn in the Conference.

He went on to be England non-league manager, England schoolboys manager, then on to Liverpool, running their acadamy.

Top bloke who always had to bring football into the math's lessons. Always had a "Shoot" annual on the blackboard with a picture of him marking Kenny Dalglish on the cover. He was a full back for Altrincham playing agains Liverpool in the FA Cup!

I used to work with Craig Stone of Gillingham's brother and another mate is good friends with Gillingham's Andrew Crofts. I also once saw Bobby Zamora at the cinema when he used to play for Brighton.

This question was posted by someone who gets 99% of their football knowledge from FM quite clearly!!

I chat with a few Chester City players in a queue in Tesco on a Friday night when they won at MK Dons the day after, last season. I don't know who they were but it was a good laugh... for all of 2-3 minutes we spoke!

Lewwis Spence was in my year at school, who plays for Palace. He's still a reserve player trying to break into the first team. Didn't like him much so I hope thats where he stays icon_wink.gif

Also, my mate's girlfriend's uncle/brother figure's family are related to Mark Kennedy! Plays for Palace too, so his family see more of him cause he's living in London. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Lewis Spence was a player Palace sent me on loan to help get Bedford promoted on the last FM! Thank him for me next time you see him icon_wink.gif
