    As it doesn't say Hibs players then Peter Beardsley in the same Manchester hotel I was staying in. He might have been with his agent prior to signing for Man City (1998). Got his autograph.

    Matt Le Tissier on a sailing from Weymouth to Guernsey when I was returning home from Euro 96 and a quick visit to Edinburgh. Yes you've guessed...got his autograph too.

    Lol, I can't remember that far back..... Schmeichel was my favourite player at the time as I played in goals, so i remember all those details, Calderwood on the other hand was just a Spurs player to me back then :)

    Most high profile was Roy Keane in Orlando airport.

    Full of British holiday makers and he looked as torn faced as he comes on the tv.

    Needless to say no one approached him.

    Seen James Mcpake sitting alone at airport in Istanbul, went over to say hi as he was at Hibs at the time. His first words were I don't do autographs on a day off.. I didn't even want one! Headed to duty free instead.

    Hope you told him you were a supporter of a provincial club which is how he refers to us on Sky Sports even although he has played for us and scored against the Jambos so should know better.

    I met Neil Webb in Marbella when he had just joined Portsmouth. The whole team was there celebrating promotion. All good guys but Neil & Billy Rafferty, Scottish striker were top class.

    Jay Spearing and David Wheater and their families were on the same flight back from Tenerife as me a couple of years ago during an international break when they were both at Bolton. The previous international break had seen Spearing pictured getting off his face in Ibiza so it’s fair to say this trip seemed a bit quieter!
