Have you ever met anyone famous in Waterford?

ziedth

Got talking about this with the lads last week and thought it might make an interesting thread.

So have you ever met anyone Famous in/around town? I'm not that good I'm afraid I bumped into Jack Charlton down in the tower hotel years ago and actually talked to him I'd say for a good few minutes. Pure gent.

Other then that I played against Noel Hunt(Currently with Reading) and Daryl Murphy(Celtic) in football. the former still easily being the best player by some margin I have ever been on the same pitch as.

Must've got barred out of the Bothar Bui

Saw Hale and Pace playing at Waterford Golf club in that Wogan Classic a few years ago - we pulled up at the top of New Rath - you know the tee box where you can see it from the road. One of the lads was a bit of a messer and let a roar at one of them just as he teed off and made him mi**** it. Cant print what happened next.

The two lads are sound out. Didn't know paul was on the late late. Dunno who jimmy played for. Heard he was good alright. He went on goal a few years back and injured himself. Some laugh off him in fairness

Meet a load of golfers out in the airport a few years ago after they played a tournament up in Mount Juliet. Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Thomas Bjorn, Adam Scott and a few others. All nice guys who had no problem with autographs and posing for a picture or two.

I think I have heard before that Golfers in general are usually very approachable. Outside of Tiger.
