I've only met a handful of footy players and they've pretty much exclusively been Knights!
Anthony Quinn's mum was the PE teacher at my high school, so we always had Knights coming to visit and run clinics for sport and stuff. Maybe being in a school environment influences the way they act, but all the players I've met have been fantastic.
Mark Hughes - Genuine nice guy. Happy to sign autographs for everyone and have a chat in general. Top bloke.
Clint Newton - Came to visit our school not longer after that elbowing incident in 2004! :haha: As with Hughes, he was very polite and just a really nice fella.
Brad Tighe - Came to help out with some sport clinics back in 2003 long before anyone would've known who he was. I've always remember him though, because he was brilliant. Gave all the kids a huge amount of encouragement and really looked like he wanted to be there. He was holding a hit shield (is that what they're called?) alongside another fella, and we had to burst through the gap in the centre. Kept giving me a big wrap everytime I barged through. :rockon: Left me feeling pretty chuffed with myself, and like I said, he's stuck in my memory because of that.
There's been a few others too, Kurt Gidley, Robbie O'Davis, Anthony Quinn and so on. Can't fault any of them really.
