James Graham, Danny Maguire and , bizarrely, Paul Cooke.

I was at the same roulette table as a lot of manly players 2 weeks a go and there banter was pretty funny.

Mark Carrol still hasn't signed my book!

Gentleman Johnny Whitely, a fantastic bloke who will give his time to anyone. One of my best mates lives with his Grandaughter now and he is even better for knowing.

I've met many players over the years, and i've never really had a problem with many.

Paul Sculthorpe, Barrie McDermott, Sean Long, Andy Farrell and Ian Millward were all really nice blokes.

I've had good chats with Terry Matterson, Danny Sculthorpe, Wayne Godwin and Stanley Gene to name a few that first spring to mind, whilst Jason Robinson was very obliging recently when a Dutch friend of mine randomly introduced herself to him in our local Tesco, simply because she wanted to meet an English celebrity while she was over here.

My brother's missus also seems to speak pretty highly of Phil Bailey after she used to serve him quite often in the cafe she used to work in.

Never spoken to Barrie MacDermott personally, but he appears very approachable whenever I see him at various matches; always has a posse of fans hanging off him.

The most memorable chat I've had with a (then) rugby league player was Lee Smith, who strolled up behind me at a cashpoint queue in a Leeds nightclub, and asked what I thought of Lee Smith. Not knowing it was him, I said I was quite impressed with what I'd seen of him during his first season, after which he introduced himself and thanked me before skipping off (literally) towards the bar. Odd.

I chatted to Petero Civonoceva outside a hotel for the best part of an hour once when he was over touring with Australia. He is a top bloke.

Nat Wood, I was only in Primary school but we spoke for about 15 Minutes at the end of season awards at Wilderspool many moons ago and he gave me his old boots

Also Tony Smith and Wayne Price

Joel & Sam tomkins met them on my holls last year sound lads the pair of them

You have just replaced 'Changa' as my all time favourite RLFans poster.

Tuigamala was a very nice bloke.

One bloke who get's bad publicity but is actually a friendly, funny though very daft lad when out is Sean Long.

Paul Wellens - true gentleman and very knowledgable guy.

good guys - nathan blacklock, paul gallen, karmichael hunt, glen stewart, ade gardner, one other st helens player, i think wellens

idiots - anthony watmough, billy slater

forgot - benji marshall, legend, scott prince good too, luke stuart souths, morris twins

and SBW gave me a high five cause he knew my mate.

he gets a bad rap slater but comes accross very well on tv, especailly australias greatest sportsman

Will Sharp, Karl Temata, Danny Ward, LMS, Clubby, Marty McLinden, Scott Hill, Henry Paul, Stevo have all tolerated me when I've been slightly worse for wear.

Interesting, why was Slater an idiot? Shame if true he's a fantastic player.

As much as it pains me to say it was a Viking, anyone who has met Matt King won't have met a nicer bloke.

I've heard bad things things about him but as I say he comes accross well on tv, until this weekends revelations! Bad taste billy!

I've never met Slater personally, but I don't think I want to... www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... -qrb6.html

Met Henry Paul last year in a pub on the Otley Run in Leeds. He was dressed as a teenage mutant ninja turtle. Really nice bloke, had a photo taken with us and took the mick out of Robbie.

A couple of pro's help coach amateur clubs in Leeds (and I'm sure many others do accross the country) which I think says alot about their attitude and willingness to give back to the sport.

just seemed a bit stuck up, didnt want to chat

the others were quite friendly

it was after the 4 nations in on a few years ago

watmough and slater werent interested in having a chat

some of the aussie players and the pommie ones i mentioned were very friendly

i spoke to ade gardner for something like 30 mins

oh and - mark riddell was ok, keith galloway seemed a nice bloke too, tall and skinny though

hutch maieve was a dope.

Paul Cullen - Despite being in Manchester airport departure lounge at 6.30am, he was still up for a good chat about RL. Cracking bloke, very articulate about the game and a true gent.

Ashley Klein - Saw him a few years ago at Belle Vue (or the Atlantic Solutions Stadium, whatever the hell it was called back then!) walking towards the entrance and as he was walking up a small set of stairs, he ended up tripping up and falling on his ar$e. Despite us laughing, and saying we hope he doesn't do that during the game, he took it in good heart.

Terry O'Connor - Shoulder charged the guy, by accident of course, in the concourse at the Millenium Stadium the last time the Magic Weekend was there. Left my coat in my seat and ran back to get it, but as I ran round the corner, I couldn't stop in time and smacked straight into him. I didn't know whether to beg for forgivness or run off

, especially as Barry McDermott was pi$$ing himself laughing and winding me up saying I shouldn't have done that, but I just dusted his suit down, straightened his tie up and apologised. He couldn't have been more nice about it and wished me well for the weekend.

Chev Walker. Saw him at the side of the road in Rothwell few of us jumped off the bus to see him chatted for a bit and even offered us a lift home


great guy.

Also Barry McDermott a true LEGEND and really nice guy

Barrie McDermott - one of the most kindest scary looking men around, always straight to the kids, if there asking for autographs and adults are around too, he would usually make the adults wait and give the kids autographs first.

Ali Lauitiiti & Jamie Jones Buchanan - Speak to me whenever I see them out and about Bramley Town Centre. Jamie Jones Buchanan, also when I played college rugby league at Stanningley, Buchanan used to come and train us, I fractured my pelvis in a game and he came in the ambulance to the hospital with me.

Clinton Toopi - Seen Toopi twice in Leeds Town Centre when the All Golds were over here, stood and talked for a good 30 minutes and allowed us to have a few photos taken with him.

Mine has to be Vila Matautia. Seeing him on the pitch i thought of him a dirty player who must be like that off the pitch. As a kid waiting outside Headingley to get autographs Vila took my autograph book off me and then went around the other players and got them to sign it for me. I didn't ask him to and he did stop some from signing autographs just to sign mine. Seeing this helped me understand that on the pitch players can be dirty and hated by opposition fans, but off the pitch they can be totally different.

Top marks to the bloke and i'll always respect him for that.

Ben Jeffries, Ryan Bailey, Stuart Fielden and Wille Poching were all great blokes who had a good natter about RL with me.

Keith Senior was rather rude when I met him in Buzz in Wakey about 10 years ago.
