Good shout, I reckon if you hang about at any Lakeland fell race it’s entirely possible he would have a pint and a chat

Have to agree with Glen Little, he's a fun guy to listen to without any drink involved. Just imagine him with a few pints down your neck.

Jurgen Klinsman. I will always remember him being interviewed about his reputation for diving when he joined Spurs. His reply was that if anyone thought he was a diver he would invite them for a beer so they could talk about it.

Gary Lineker

I know it sounds like a bit of a boring choice. But if anyone listens to the MOTD podcasts, some of the stories he tells are absolutely fascinating. He must be a goldmine of anecdotes about Gazza, England, Barça etc...

I have quite warmed to Graham Souness, find him very interesting on the tele so I'd go for a beer with him.

Jordon Pickford, so I could just ignore him, after I’d reached over the bar to pass him his drink. ;)
