    Great confectionery items from international footballers

    Today I received a box of luxury Scottish sea salt and caramel fudge from former Celtic, Manchester United and Scotland star Brian McClair, as he wished me a "happy saturnalia". Has anyone else received a box of confectionery from a former international striker and four times Premier League winner?

    Aye, Scott Brown wings me a fudge flavoured haggis every month.

      it's good that you don't go in for Humblebrags anyway. He's a man of good taste..... in his choice of gift, if not its intended recipient....

          Ian Rush often sends me a box of Edinburgh Rock which is weird because:

          a) he's Welsh, not Scottish (LOL!) and
          b) it's bloody awful.

          Still, one doesn't wish to be churlish.

              Robert Lewandowski brings me candy floss fairly regularly which would be fine but he insists on draping it over the bushes in the garden and swearing blind that it grew there. The twat.

                The best I can offer is a Christmas card from a B international - Andy Mutch was my next door neighbour for a few years when I was younger.

                  He still goes by the nickname “Choccy” then?

                      Can't go with any footballers, international or otherwise, but a former Miss Ireland once gave me a toffee.

                          I once had a Celebrations and a mulled cider while stood next to Howard Webb (no it wasn't immediately prior to the 2010 World Cup Final)

                              Is that a euphemism?

                                      'Saturnalia'. I always thought Brian McClair had a bit of the pagan about him.

                                          I wish, she's a customer where I work and she was eating toffees so being polite she offered me one, I don't like toffees but one of my life rules is when a former Miss Ireland asks "would you like a toffee " say "yes please "

                                            Doyen of football writers Malcolm Brodie bought me and Nigeria internationalist Efe Sodje a pint at Macclesfield Town.

                                            Tourist Information at Glasgow Airport asked if I was former England striker Malcolm McDonald.

                                            Ex-Man City starlet Ryan McGivern queued in front of me at Glentoran Airport.

                                            Robert 'Bumface' Fleck sat opposite me on a Norwich- London train

                                            John Terry (wearing purple flares) failed to be recognised by me at Billericay Town's bar.

                                            A prominent World leader waved his flywhisk at me during a crunch Police v Army cup-tie

                                              Were you urinating against their counter at the time?

                                                No, that was the Albino McGivern one

                                                  Uwe Fuchs's Glacier Mints.

                                                  I once sold a bar of chocolate to former St. Pauli not-all-that-hard man Torsten Fröhling. And I sold Manfred Kaltz a sausage, but that's not confectionery.
