The Celebrity Spotting Thread Part Twee (or help Flatty identify the celeb he just spotted) (Part 1)

Living in tanland has made him fierce rough

His first ever bit of business was a transfer of our very own Frank Stapleton.

Who? Paul Stretford, football super agent famous for Wayne Rooney and all sorts of other shenanigans.
Where? Bizarrely at a table outside McDonalds in Congleton.
Interaction.
I was sitting having a coffee outside in between showers at lunchtime yesterday, when a confident looking middle aged man asked if anyone else was sitting at the table (the other two were one occupied and one filthy)
I said he was welcome, and as he and I sipped our coffee, he asked had I watched the football. I said I had. He said he was still tired after it. He seemed happy to converse, so I opined that I still couldn’t understand how Southgate thought sending three young lads out to take the penalties was a good idea. He sort of shrugged, so I went on to say that really you needed the type of lad like grealish and walker who’d get hookers out in the lockdown to be taking them.
Another shrug.
One of his three (3) phones rang. He ignored it.
He then said he’d been at Wembley for the game. I asked him how he got a ticket. He said he was an agent to a couple of players.
Oh right I said. Anyone famous.
He shrugged again.
Our conversation petered out.
Another phone rang which he answered as “Paul Stretford speaking”
I googled him last night. It was indeed him. He has a bit of a beard and moustache now.
I did notice he had a picture of a young lass as his screensaver, presumably a daughter or somesuch.
He seemed a benign and pleasant type given his reputation. He bid me a hearty farewell and held out his hand for a fist bump and telling me to enjoy the rest of my day.
How odd.
I can only presume he must live around there otherwise why would you ?

Not a spot.

A fucking English football agent if you don’t mind.

Eating in a McDonalds.

He should not have admitted having to use Google

That was his downfall

A picture tells a thousand words.

[flattythehurdler]

Coffee. Both of us were coffee only (whilst I was there anyway)
McDonalds in Congleton is a miserable spot
Congleton is a miserable spot but it’s on the a34

Met Ryan Tubtidy today in the Clifden bookshop, a terribly nice man, he chatted to my little girls (I had 2 with me) about their favourite books, he congratulated them on Limericks win yesterday when they told him where they were from, (yes he really did know)
I recommended ‘The Night Watchman’ to him, he said he thinks he got it already but has a load of books waiting to be read,
A lovely chap.
As we were chatting his phone rang, he said he had to take it, I assumed he’d leave it at that, but he returned to us straight away, said it was his daughter saying he hadn’t locked the car, called himself an eejit for the kids benefit and we parted.
I don’t expect a spot but it was an interesting encounter

[neilld]

Tubridy seems a decent guy. He is probably just a bit overexposed. That’s the thing with fellas in his spot, it would be better if they went away for a while from time to time so the people had the chance to miss them.

[carryharry]

That’ll drive @flattythehurdler demented

[flattythehurdler]

Why would it mate?
I’m Galway. I’m well used to being rode raw by referees.

[Ralphie]

Tubridys radio show is unspeakably bad.
He seems to think the toy show is something really important, it’s a toy show for kids. Nothing more nothing less.
He’s overpaid a ridiculous amount by Rte (not the only one in fairness)

I’m getting meself all wound up now.

A spot

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Top class spot @backinatracksuit

[myboyblue]

Imagine thinking the presenter of the Late Late Show wouldn’t be a spot
