Fans Are Sharing Pictures Of When They Met A Footballer On A Night Out

Question: have you ever bumped into a professional footballer on a night out?

I think most of you reading this will have introduced yourself to at least one player down the years, so we got our followers on Twitter to send in their stories/pictures from those glorious pre-COVID days and well, some of the responses were nothing short of wonderful.

From a chance meeting with former Manchester City full-back Aleksandar Kolarov at a Kebab shop in Montenegro at 6am in the morning, to a random encounter with Peter Beardsley in a Florida McDonald's; this thread gave us plenty of laughs.

Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas also feature while on holiday in Ibiza, along with Jack Grealish in Mykonos, Peter Crouch in Camden and former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler bumping into a random bloke dressed as a Brazilian lifeguard on a stag do.

Are you ready for this? Right...let's get on with it.

If you've got a picture with a professional player on a night out, throw it in the comments section.
