My teacher at school was Mr Toure - Kolo's cousin he gave me a signed picture of kolo, he was awesome. He later got sacked for man handling a student haha.

My friend's uncle worked at the airport. He was sometimes asked to escort people. I remember he got a signature from Reyes when the latter joined us. I don't remember but I think he got signatures from one of: Henry, Wenger or Bergkamp as well.

Talking of footballer's phone numbers did anyone hear that one on the net with Gary Neville angry at someone who claimed he attained Neville's number through Tony Adams.

It's hilarious.

This is it

haha no but i would love the tossers number.

I spoek to a air hostess who deals with the arsenal team flights and she was telling me that when arsenal go abroad, no one is aloud to go up to the players and ask for autographs as wenger says they need to be in the zone, she was telling me bassets about wenger and his ways but i dont ant to bore you. But thought that was very interesting

Speaking of Tony Adams on the piss - he was present at my old club's presentation the night before smashing his car into a garden wall, which led to his imprisonment in 1990.

Sadly that was the year before I joined them so couldn't be present at this historic of events.

this is a bit off topic but..I work at a hotel doing admin work and the chavski boys come to that hotel whenever they play at AG and wembley. They came last year for the carling cup final and when they played the arsenal boys at AG this season. i was sooo tempted to put rat poison in their food :lol:
i met most of them and chatted to avram grant ( he looks even uglier close up)
oh and shaun wright phillips ordered some porno the naughty lil boy :D
