Used to play for a team called Luncarty just outside Perth in Scotland. To 'celebrate' opening our new ground we had a friendly against a St Johnstone XI which included George O'Boyle (NI international striker), Ally Main (Scotland international keeper), Gerry McMahon and several other first teamers you've never heard of!
I played centre half and O'Boyle kept showing me the ball and goading me to go in for it! His speed over five yards from a standing start was incredible.
Incidentally, he was sacked by St Johnstone not long afterwards for allegedly doing the white stuff in a Perth pub with another player.
A year or so before that I was in the same pub watching Stoke v Man City in the relegation dogfight which ended 2-5 with both teams going down to the old 3rd div. As I stood at the bar in my Stoke shirt, in walked Gerry McMahon with his wife and baby girl and Davide Xausa to cheer on Stoke. Xausa was really nice and chatty with nothing bad to say about the club. McMahon looked like he didn't really want to talk so I left him alone. I think Xausa went on to do OK for Inverness CT.

Played against Kenny Burns (when he played for Marchington) and Mick Mills (Hixon & Stowe) in the Uttoxeter League. Mick Mills was quality and a nice bloke off the pitch - always went for beer after the matches.
