I kicked the ball around with Junior (LB Brasil WC'82) for about a 1/2 hour on the beach in Rio. Did not play a game however.

I've played with Chris Eagles (United) a few times when we were younger, and you could tell even then that he was going to make it as a pro.

I've played with Menno Willems back when I was about 8 years old. He was 12 back then. We played on the street in front of school.
He has played for Ajax and Vitesse and is now playing for a club in First Division IIRC.

I've played against former Linfield winger Billy Murray who, despite being twice my age and having two dodgy knees, still made me look like an amateur (he didn't like it when I kicked him though).
I played in the same school team as the Stockport and Northern Ireland striker Warren Feeney.
That's about the height of it though.

Keiron Dyer, Richard Wright, i played with them when they were at Ipswich and some people and me in my school went to play in some tournement and we played with with them, i was only about 10 at the time so it was kinda fun :D, and the Tampa Bay mutiny coach (who used to play for Ipswich) came to coach my old football team for a week.

Frank Klopas, Chris Armas, Richie Kotschau, Giovanni Savarese, Ted Eck, Tom Soehn, Joe Paul DiBernardo, Travis Rinker, Ex US Nat John Lignos, whole bunch of guys I can't remember now in college-Div. 1, , whole bunch of former Divison 1 players from Europe and South America in Chicago's National Soccer League and New York's Cosmo League who most of you would have no idea who they were. Hell, I can't remember all of them.

I played against Marcos Sandy who played for Bolivia in WC '94, one year in Spain for Valledolid and a few years in Argentina. Also, Gaston Taborga, who was a Bolivian great in the 80's. Played with Alberto Acosta who was a decent Argentinian player who was the defensive partner of Argentinia's greatest defender, Daniel Pasarela, when he played in Chacarita Juniors.

Played against someone in a pickup game (don't remember name) who played for Toros Neza at the time. He basically ran circles around me. Played with St. Kitts & Nevis international George Isaac in a pickup game in Houston, he was apparently just there for a few days.
Also played in a co-ed five-a-side tournament with Katherine Winstead, a two-time All-ACC player for Wake Forest.
