Always loved Jody Morris and wonder how his career transpired if he stayed beyond 2003. Had loads of talent but never fulfilled his potential though!

 
David Webb...early 90s when he was managing Southend... thought he was dodgy as fcuk!

Paul Parker..last year in Singapore involved with a kids soccer school my eldest was attending... quality bloke chatted for ages, I guess he was bored.

Funny story it's an Arse school and all the kids and many parents wear their shirts, my lads is a keeper so played in green but I always worn my Chelsea Zola shirt (it's also my lads name) and Parker made some comment before I realised who he was....

 
Terry, Drogba, Cech, Luiz, Torres, Lampard, Essien and Kalou.

Also King Carlo..... all on the one night at the player of year awards :)

Would love the chance to do that again, awesome night.

 
I used to live round the corner from Harrow Boro when QPR used to play some reserve and youth team games there on a Tuesday night. My in-laws are all QPR so used to go round and watch them, was often some top players coming back from injury, saw Tony Adams and others, was a good excuse to get out for a few beers.

Ray Wilkins was Rangers manager or player at the time, we were in the bar after a game and he came up to our table and said 'Thanks for the support boys, let me buy you a drink'. I replied that I wasn't Rangers I was Chelsea and he said 'in that case let me buy you two drinks!'

Top bloke.

 
Not only met but played alongside Ron Harris, his brother Allan and various Fulham players including Fred Callaghan. In the sixties I went to Spencer Park School in Wandsworth, a school with ties to Chelsea, Chico Hamilton and the late Peter Houseman were Spencer Park lads. Once a week we would play football and pro's would attend to "coach" us, invariably that meant them just playing alongside us, the playing fields were on an incline and Ron invariably played for the down slope team in the first half, switching sides at half time and continuing downhill. Hard to imagine a PL player nowadays sharing a double decker bus with a mob of unruly schoolboys going to play footy. I also had a Saturday job delivering Corona and I'm hoping my memory serves me correct when I recall delivering to Alan Hudsons mum living in a prefab somewhere in SW6.

In recent years worked from an office in Savile Row which had a tailor next door which was very popular with players seen Harry, Frank and JFH coming out of the store, always acknowledged a hello.

 
 I bumped into Hernan Crespo on Portobello road once just exchanged a few words I would barely call it meeting him, the very next day was looking in a shop window on the Kings road and noticed the guy in the white leather jacket standing next to me was Mario Stanic. Stanic was very nice. It was a shoe shop.

Your memory's okay. The Hudson family did live in a prefab as far as I know, my dad was mates with his dad at the time. His brother Johnny was also a decent player but never made it to pro level. A few years back I think he ran a pretty big window cleaning operation in Chelsea doing lots of shops down the Kings Rd
