Which footballers have you met?

I saw Per Mertesacker in Sushisamba yesterday and took two cheeky (but blurry) photos with him:





Which got me thinking, which players have you guys met/managed to nab a photo with? Feel free to share photos or anecdotes!

I went to Bayern's last open training of the season in 2012, so I saw a lot of players and got lots of autographs on my shirt (including Butt's, what a silver fox <3). Also managed to snag a photo with Thomas Müller - sadly missed Mario Gomez, and I didn't want to bother Basti like others because he was injured, so didn't run after him when I saw him. S:

No pics, sorry, but I've met quite a few in restaurants and such. However, it depends how you mean "met"?

So jealous! Making a mental note to go to Sushisamba.

I once made eye contact with Olli Giroud at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.

I have met one footballer who is pretty well known in our national league. I actually filmed him when he cut the umbilical cord of his twins. It was quite a risky birth so there were a lot of doctors involved and I was the youngest. So when it all went well, I had that honour. He was really nice and dressed in his training gear.

You'd make a hot couple

I haven't met any, but I have met the King of the Netherlands. Does that count? lmao

Nice!!

I've met Alexi Lalas lol.

Praying for a run in with some Copa players in the city this summer. Also hoping Arsenal will do some cool fan stuff before the LA game this summer, but let's be real the team will be Elneny, Chambers, and some U21s.

Oh my god, belated comment but I've had a lowkey dream to meet him ever since he was signed to Arsenal and moved to London. That is hilarious that he went to Sushi Samba. So long as he doesn't turn up at Sexy Fish!

If you're interested, I wrote a whole blog article (http://zummer.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/the-day-i-met-per-mertesacker-in.html) about meeting him, haha!
