Did you say anything to him, or bottled it and just stared?

 

I put on my best 'ampshire accent and shouted at him from a distance "Oi Brett" and burst into song "we've got Brett Ormeroid" That fabulous chant that was one of the staples of the northam c2002-03. He looked over and waved nervously as i strolled over in an authorative manor and asked him if there was any chance of a photo. I stood next to him, arm around him, grinning like a deranged chimpanzee whilst he half smiled clearly wishing he was anywhere in the world but stood in an M62 service station with some bloke in his mid thirties hero worshipping a now non league footballer whose best days were over 10 years ago. After i asked him for an autograph, for my neice obviously, it was straight onto facebook to share this incredible experience with my 10 real friends and family and 384 other people i think i might have spoken to once. 23 "likes" and 14 comments later and another fabulous and meaningful day in the life of Dorkish was complete.

You missed the chance to sing (or even ask if) he sh*gged Julie Phillips? Chapel Ender at best!;)

I saw him at a service station on the M62 with the rest of the Wrexham squad about 6 months ago. True story.

 

I saw him at Wembley with the rest of the Wrexham squad losing to Newport County in the Conference Play-Off in May, also true story. He missed an absolute sitter and Newport went on to get promoted with 2 late goals.

 

I regard it as revenge for the rampage he went on for Blackpool against Newport in the FA Cup in 2001 just before he signed for Saints.

 

Also, Adam Lallana is the only player I've seen mis-hit every shot - as I saw McGoldrick catch one properly on tv a couple of weeks ago.
