    When I was in High school I had a couple of trials with the New York Metrostars and my school team trained with the metrostars youth team, Tim Howard was the goalie for the metrostars then and I played in a few bounce games with him, and hung out a few times

    Danny McGrain - His brother gave me his dog as he works away :56:
    Dont know him personally but King Henrik!! - This is gospel! His wife is a horse rider and my aunt is also, my aunt looked after magdalenas horse and went to competitions etc with her. They are close friends and my aunt was at Henriks 40th party in Sweden! Got an 11th birthday card signed by him and a programme from the legends game.

    Charlie Mulgrew and Stephen Crainey are from same place as me always see them about.

    Tom Boyd stays in the same street as my dads boss, Larsson used to stay there too when he played for Celtic about 12 doors along. I know quite a few players myself. Steven Pressley also lived next door to my old boss when he played for us, and I once met him and Broony when I was working there.

    My brother-in-law is Ryan Robinson, whom played for St. Mirren during the time when they first got promoted to the SPL back at the start of the century. A quick google search shows that the only notable fact about him is that he managed to get subbed twice after coming on as a sub :56::56::56:
