Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2427535, member: 1899"] Cool thread. I personally haven't met any players since I was a kid. I think the last player I met was Gordie who my dad introduced me too, shook my hand and signed some random shirt with a gorilla on it which he commented on. It was brief but it really meant a lot to me that my favourite player acknowledged me. My family & friends have had a lot more to do with Broncos players than myself, here's a couple of stories. Lockyer - Dad was at a corporate golf dinner & found Lockyer sitting by himself at a table so he took the opportunity to snag me an autograph. Locky was more than happy to do so & even invited my dad to have a seat & have a beer with him, a really classy move. Webcke - A mate of mine who absolutely hates sport was working on an internship at Ch. 7 and apparantly Shane was the nicest & easiest guy to work with & completely dispelled his idea of sports stars. Dell - Dad was at another golf day when Wendell randomly came up to him like he was an old friend, gave him a big hug & then awkwardly left when he realised it was the wrong person. Only heard a negative thing about two players... Corey Parker who just didn't seem to want to be at this particular autograph signing and was rude to a friend of mine. And also JT. So my high school is directly across Langlands Park which meant a select few classes got to observe the Maroons training session - for some reason I was never lucky enough. Anyways, session was coming to an end & one of my mates asked JT for an autograph and he told him to get f**ked. I'm sceptical about it being the full story (or ever really happening) because said friend is a cheeky Blues fan but he had people who vouched for it... [/QUOTE]
