Sports star or celebrity you met that didn't impress you?

Whenever I meet someone famous, I don't carry on like they're something special. I 100% understand if they're pricks, because I'd hate it if everyone came up to chat about absolute rubbish like they're you're best mate.
But I do want to share this story-
When we were kids, my brother mad me were footy mad, and we couldn't really go to too many games because of where we lived and our parents didn't have the funds.
The olds got some money together and we went to Bruce Stadium to watch Raiders Vs. Manly, and we stayed the night at the Leagues club. Which back then was a basic motel.
The Raiders won, and even though we didn't support the Raiders, we were pretty pumped. When we got back to the motel, we wanted a Raiders flag to remember the game, so we went to the gift shop. It was closed.
The olds went to the reception and asked when the gift shop will be open so we could get a flag, and the girl apologised saying she didn't have the keys to get in and they were closed the next day.
Next morning, before check-out, got a knock on the door and there was Jason Croker with a signed Raiders flag. He said the girl gave the team and call and they signed the flag that morning and he offered to bring it around.
Raiders won the GF that year.

Good story, Adds. Loved watching the Raiders play back in those days, except when against Cronulla!

Addy that's a great example of how a player can win over peoples hearts just by putting in an effort.

This thread has turned out pretty well!
well done OP. Nice idea for a bunch of chit chat.
I met freddy fittler when he came into my old work on the south coast nsw. i took him his food and asked if i could get a photo with him. He smiled and said no worries.
left him to his meal and when he was done he walked off.... came back though and was like " i didnt get that photo with you mate". We had a chat and he went about his business.
My mum said she tried to get an autograph with Sticky and Laurie Dailie. She said they were rude ****s and told her to beat it.
She also came home one night with an autograph from the PEACH!!! He was at bomo RSL having a few drinks, said he was the nicest guy.
Saw Sandow at the Northy Tav one night, **** had the tightest singlet on, walking around like he owned the place... first and last impression was that he was a douche bag.

Ahh, Another one I forgot. Saw him in Redcliffe when the roosters were playing a trial game there a few years back. Stopped for signatures, pictures, chats etc. Seemed like a real straight forward bloke. Always liked him as a footy player too.
