Not a fan as such
But I once spent an entire drunken weekend in Puerto Banus being stalked by Nicky Butt. No, really. Every bar I went in, he'd come in after me. Every cheesy Euro-club (and they really are shit in Puerto Banus), he'd be there.
He even turned up in the same queue at the airport when it was time to go home. He's a bit of a ratty little fucker.

I also stood right next to Sol Campbell in a club in Dubai, and was going to engage him in a learned debate about how he was a cunt for leaving Spurs for Arsenal.

But then I remembered that a) he's bigger and harder than me, and b) I'm a coward. So I pretended to be cool and ignore him.

I think I should stop going to footballers' hangouts. I don't even _like_ those places; Dubai is a fucking awful place. Another story there, maybe.

Best to ignore them, yeah
Place we moved to six months ago, apparently Sol Campbell moved here a while back (bought an apartment in a rather large and well-known country house here).

He used to drink locally apparently but stopped because of all the hassle he'd get.

On the stalking bit, we felt like we were getting stalked by Alan Rickman one weekend in Paris - he sat next to us in the Eurostar terminal at Waterloo, he turned up where we were having breakfast, next day he turned up where we were having lunch...
