I will go off track on this one but share the “meeting” of a Saints player and a skate mate whilst at work.
When I used to work for a bank I got to meet several players in my job.......one particular day (blast from the past) Jelle Van Damme was in the building, sat waiting in the client reception area. I was stood up talking business with him when my skate mate came running down the office......stopped close to me and adopted a crouching position and let rip an almighty fart!
He thought he was being funny.......only for JVD to lean forward from behind the pillar, where he was sat, looking at my mate the skate with disbelieving eyes......said skate mate then turned from being a “blue” to a very bright shade of red! All manner of things were going through my head.....embarrassment, how would I explain this complaint to management etc The stunned silence was broken by JVD who said very quietly “Does he come from Portsmouth?” A brilliant had to be there moment and said skate mate got away with it with an apology..... he skulked off, tail firmly between his legs (like they normally do) and JVD had a good old laugh!!!!!
Although many years ago we still bring up the subject every now and again..........
