Nice and not nice guys off the field

Ive met my fair share of players and tbh 95% have beeb really nice
Luke Burt, Daniel Wagon and Laurie Daley are on top of the list of the nicest

I met Daley after SOS II last year at breakfast at the team hotel, he was talking to staff and I walked over tap him on the shoulder just to say congrats, stopped what he was doing and chatted for 10 mins absolute champion, class act

Luke Burt has always been nice, met him heaps, but everytime ive seen him around other fans always joking and smiling

and Wagon surprised me so much I honestly thought he looked like an arrogant footballer who wouldn't give fans the time of day, he was a class act, only one who stayed back after an open training session and walked us around the ground and chased up other players he could find for pics and autographs, don't judge a book by its cover

Then there's the not nice players. Only ones ive encounted are Craig Stapleton, Brett Kenny, Adam Dykes and Eric Grothe Jr. but everyone else was great

Anyone else met some class and/or arrogant players???

  • Beau Ryan too, at the UFC with no cameras around, nice guy.
  • I've been told by people who have met Mundine he is not the prick you see on tv.
  • Spoke to Johnny Raper a few years ago down the Long Jetty hotel absolute champion & as I have said before Paul Stringer is a great bloke
  • Yeah met Daley good bloke. Met Anthony Quinn, Steve southern, Joel Monaghan, Adrian Purtell, Tom learoyd lars, josh cordoba, jamal idris probably others I can't remember but they all seem like top blokes
  • Thanks for biting ;)
  • I got thanked by Burt after his and Hindys last game at the leagues club, he came out of the auditorium to take a leak and this old dide kept hassling him for his autograph, Burt kindly said yes but could he wait till he come back from the toilet, the old dude got pissed off and started abusing him, I stepped in between them and told him to have some fkin respect! Burt came back from the toilet and old mate was gone, he said he appreciated it, signed my hat for me had a little chat then went back into the auditorium, Burt has to be the kindest bloke i have met and deserved better than that
    • Any other player would've either 1. ignored him or 2. said no
      Class act

  • Past players - Luke Burt - top bloke. Mark Horo - champion fella, Clinton Shifcofski (spelling?), down to earth. Spoken to quite a few of the current team and couldn't say a bad word about any of them. special mention to Chris Sandow. Always friendly.
  • Met Joel Garner in unusual circumstances. During a break in play I was a taking a leak and Joel comes running into the mens room and stands next to me at the trough and says "wow man, I just made it" I said "hi Joel, can you make me one just like it only in white?"
