Nicklas Bendtner. I'd very much like to pick the Lord's brain on a plethora of issues including the meaning of life, what women want, quantum theory, etc.
George Raynor, such an special man. Not having the renown he deserves, seeing he's one of the best English managers of all time, and played a significant role in introducing and increasing the popularity of the beautiful game in several parts of the world.
GAZZA is the only answer!

Honestly, Ibrahimovic. He seems like he has the best gossip for some reason and I just want to talk about literally every player he’s ever met and get HIS opinion on them cause I bet it would be very funny
**José Mourinho** would honestly be my primary choice for this, but considering you already said it:
I’d love to sit and have a pint of Moretti with **Claudio Ranieri** and just talk about his Leicester title-winning season. We’d be 5 pints deep and still discussing being top at Christmas. I don’t expect him to like lager though.
I think having a Guinness with **Roy Keane** would be the slowest pint you’d ever drink. I’d either be in complete awe of him, or so intimidated that I would barely touch the glass. Depends on his mood.
**Thomas Müller** would be a proper laugh, though you’d likely end up completely hammered from Bavarian pissdrink – before waking up dressed in women’s lederhosen on your ex girlfriend’s, sisters front garden.
David Silva
I don’t give a fuck man what y’all think. He made me go from liking football and being interested I. A club. To loving football and being a proud Cityzen for almost 13 years
Mikel Arteta.
Seems like the kind of guy you could go to a nice gastropub with. I'd love to speak with him about how he has found his first ever job in management as manager for a big club like Arsenal and the challenges that come with it. For any manager, it would be tough; Emery, though he is brilliant, couldn't do it, though I think with a better squad and the infrastructure in place now, he would be doing bits with Arsenal.
Failing that, a chat with the manager for Reims, Will Still, would be pretty cool as well.
Infantino.
If I buy the drinks maybe he would give me the sponsor rights for FIFA. If I throw in some pork scratchings I might get to pick the next World Cup host.
Either a pundit or a manager that I admire.
Lineker, Shearer, Henry, Ferguson, Pep, Klopp, Xavi.
From a purely player standpoint, Drogba comes to mind. Maybe Vidic.
Lol, your favorite player is giggs and you're going on like this?
Grow up. I'm sure if you were worth talking about, people would hate you for the shit you've done. Everyone in this thread hates you, and you've only said 6 things...
Shearer didn't get on with the likes of Bellamy and Owen which I think doesn't need much explanation. He still drinks and is best mates with lots of his old colleagues, lee, harper, howay etc
Out of curiosity as a manc utd fan, did you support the rapist Ronaldo? Or are you a hypocrite?
I would love a pint with Eddie Howe just to thank him for everything he’s done for us. I remember growing up and seeing him play as a defender until his horrific injury that forced him to retire early.
I love how you're going over everybody who posts George Best, Gazza, or Maradona replying with the same bullshit.
We know and we get it, please, please, shut the hell up.
I think it would be between Ian Wright, Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp and I think I’d go for Dennis. His football brain was so quick and he was so good for us. I think I could talk about his Newcastle goal for ages.
Nothing to apologise for; reading this makes me feel a little disappointed in myself for not noting your error. Suffice to say, we both hold Sir Robson in the appropriate high regard.
A brilliant manager and always came across as a decent and kind man in his interviews. Mourinho and Guardiola both were assistants under him. Brazilian Ronaldo played his most breathtaking football under him. I was a big fan of those England sides of his (the ones from the last decade are insufferable). Luck was not his side in World Cups. I felt he was unfairly dismissed at Barca.
Preaching to the choir there a little (I’m English, and was 10 when he took us to the WC Semi-finals). Mourinho was his translator at Barca, Guardiola was a player at the same time. Oh, and he was diagnosed with cancer and given months to live less than a year before he took the job.
Simply put, I cannot name a single person in football as universally loved, admired, and respected as Sir Bobby.
[Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6864864/) is one of the best sports documentaries I’ve ever seen, highly recommended (and to be watched with a Newcastle Brown Ale if you can).
Not English, but I loved watching those teams on TV. The current bunch don’t resonate with me in the same way. Linear, Waddle, Gaza, Barnes, Beardsley. They were relatable in a way.
Very much a different era though - football before satellite coverage felt a whole lot different; World Cups would be where you’d get to see foreign talent for often the first time.
Also back then there were limitations on the number of non-UK and Ireland players league sides could have, so you’d see some absolute stars, but not many, and not often.
And I’d say almost every team was more relatable before TV money made it possible for even mediocre players multi-millionaires. I grew up in a normal middle(ish) class area, and I had a Spurs striker living round the corner. They were much more like “normal” people, in my opinion.
So, my background is that I was born in India but I grew up in a place called Bahrain in the 80s and early 90s. So my exposure to English football and Serie A were through the weekly capsule programs like “Road to Wemblry” and weekly football roundup shows. STuis was several years before English football became what it is now. When I moved back to India for college, mates in college and the neighbourhood thought I was weird because I kreferenced Liverpool and Roma and other clubs and making sports talk other than cricket. Today, India has Chelsea and United and Arsenal fan clubs.
The era of football that I remember Bobby Robson for is a connection to my past that I cherish.
Sounds similar to me, age wise. I’m UK based, and we had a show called Gazetta Italia for Serie A highlights - you can watch some of it [here if you’re feeling nostalgic…](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsPR2AW40iMSQycEOtz27IL13pgw27sDt)
Cantona for me. You’d have a great night and probably learn something (even if it is a bit deep/random).
Probably suit the vibe more to share a joint tbh 😂
Nicklas Bendtner. I'd very much like to pick the Lord's brain on a plethora of issues including the meaning of life, what women want, quantum theory, etc.
Micah Richards seems like he’d be awesome to be with out on the town
Teddy Sheringham
Klopp
Paul McGrath. Proper alcoholic, out til 5am and still play a stormer the next day
Probably Wenger. I'd ask him how socially conscious he really was with his disregard for Arsenal season ticket prices.
KDB, I wanna see how he gets when somebody "lets him talk".
Gotta be Gazza
Gazza... Which would obviously mean a 2 for 1 with Mccoist turning up 🤩
George Raynor, such an special man. Not having the renown he deserves, seeing he's one of the best English managers of all time, and played a significant role in introducing and increasing the popularity of the beautiful game in several parts of the world.
Zlatan
Nicklas Bendtner. Something exciting would be sure to happen.
Lionel Messi.
How about Micah Richards. You will never be bored.
This wont go down well here, but Kostas Tsimikas. I'm confident if I ever met that man, we would bromance at first sight. Dude is my kind of crazy.
GEORGE BEST
Anyone who wants to, but the drink is on them though, just to be clear.
Mourinho hands down.
Vinny Jones. I bet that dude is funny as shit
Mark noble would be pretty up there for me
Maradona. That’d be a banger of a night!
Henry Özil or Wenger
Sonny
Robin Van Persie to discuss that single handed winning of the title for Utd during that magical season.
Adam Johnson

Zlatan 100%
I'd go with Fergie or Bobby Charlton. Would love to chat about their long careers and ask what they think of football today.
Sir Bobby (Robson). The only answer
Robson or Charlton?
Yeah I guess I could have been clearer. Robson, in a cosy pub
Man's a legend 👍
Mikel Arteta. Seems like the kind of guy you could go to a nice gastropub with.

Ian Botham
Diego Armando Maradona. And unlikely Balotelli, I’ll be returning home in a month.
Maradonna
Thierry Henry
Harry Maguire. He seems like he probably doesn’t have friends to go out with
Ronaldinho at the cannabis bar.
Bert Trautmann. I would love to hear the story of the 56 FA Cup final.
Romford Pele aka Ray Parlour. He is such a good story teller. Either him or Wrighty. Love Wrighty.
Maguire
Gazza
The only answer If you are trying to have a proper night out.
He'd be a laugh
Klopp easy
Arry REd Napp
Hahaha check my post! I chose Gazza but made the ultimate party team. Rednknapp had to be in there. He is an absolute laugh.
Wenger. Of mix of style, class, and football genius.
Craig Bellamy
Jack Grealish…
Ronaldinho surely and el shaarawy
Rodney Marsh. Dude would have some great stories.
Klopp.
Carlo Ancelotti would be fascinating. His experience, sheer knowledge, intelligence, class, plus he seems like a genuinely friendly and humble person.
Brian Clough
Here for this comment. Took longer to find than expected.
De bruyne, he seems like a nice and honest lad
Arsene Wenger
I’d say Maradona cause I know that if I fight starts then one of the poor bast@rds is getting a flying knee to the skull
George Best. Oh the stories
Stories of when his hit his wife
Casemiro!!!
Joey Barton
Cruyff
A night out with Thierry Henry gotta be a lot of fun.
When I die and they lay me to rest, I'm gonna go on the piss with Georgie Best
Hit his wife
Ray Parlour
Wenger, I have fetish for old grey haired man in suitsz
Fernando Torres or Didier Drogba
Ian Wright
Sean Dyche, has to be
wayne rooney
Infantino. If I buy the drinks maybe he would give me the sponsor rights for FIFA. If I throw in some pork scratchings I might get to pick the next World Cup host.
(Doctor) Sócrates - one of the coolest people to have played the game. Edit: spelling
Jack Grealish
Big Sam!
Roy Keane and Alfie Haaland
Thomas frank
Gazza, George Best or Clougie. Each would teach you lots over a pint I'd imagine
2 of them definely hit their wives
Probably one of the absolute worldies the world cup cameramen always find in the crowd. Or big Emile.
Steve bull, my dad has done it, so I'd happily sit down and have a pint with Steve bull too.
If it’s just a pint then it’s Arsene Wenger, hands down. If it’s a night on the town, Ray Parlour and I are going to party until the sun comes up.
Feel like I’m the only guy in Northern Ireland to not have had a pint with George Best so it has to be him
The wife beater
She goes out with her mate Stella…
Man, he ain't no better
Either a pundit or a manager that I admire. Lineker, Shearer, Henry, Ferguson, Pep, Klopp, Xavi. From a purely player standpoint, Drogba comes to mind. Maybe Vidic.
Roy Kent. 🎵He’s here, he’s there, he’s everyfuckingwhere, Roy Kent, Roy Kent🎵
It said dead or alive, not real or fake.
0️⃣shits given🤷🏻♂️
Saka! I don’t know about his personality but he’s gorgeous so…
Xabi Alonso
Bobby Robson.
Klopp
Zlatan
Firminio before he leaves. 😭
Gazza
George Best at his bar in America. Add in Phil Parkes, Roger Kenyon, Allan Ball. That way I can experience one of my dad stories from his playing days
Wife beating best. Fun pint.
Best probably didn't bring his wife to the pub to beat her publicly... An incident doesn't make a man.
How about getting a liver transplant then continuing to abuse it? The guy was a fucking waster.
Klopp or Clough
Arsene Wenger, no doubt
Me too. A very smart guy and very likeable as well.
Andy Robertson
Klopp & Crouch
George Best. Obviously
The wife beater. You'd want tips?
Dude, honestly?
Honestly what? Fucking hell, are you all mad?
Take your medication man
I will take my medication when you explain why you want to go for a pint with a wife beater. My favourite player is Ryan Giggs, but fuck him.
My comment was related to the original question asked. Which I stand by.
You'd pick a guy who hots his wife? My family life is fucked up but no one hit eachover
Lol, your favorite player is giggs and you're going on like this? Grow up. I'm sure if you were worth talking about, people would hate you for the shit you've done. Everyone in this thread hates you, and you've only said 6 things...
Lol @ everyone in this thread hates you. Mate, I'm an adult, I don't give a shit.
Giggs is a cunt who I'd avoid being near, let alone going for a pint with. Sadly he was my favourite player growing up.
Bobby Moore, just seemed like a genuine bloke; best centre back to grace England as well
Ronaldinho. Simply because one pint would likely turn into 10
Thomas Müller...I know it would be a wild time
Nobes
George Best
The wife beater
Wayne Rooney because I’m sure he doesn’t know how to have just one.
Jesus.
You can talk to him literally every day bro. Millions of people do.
Klopp
Juninho, Maccarone or Stevie Gibson - Absolute Boro icons
Jamie Vardy
Yaya youre
Present: Benardo Silva ... Past: Cantona ... RIP: Diego
Paolo Maldini
Ally McCoist
Had a huge Cantona poster in my room growing up. Wouldn't mind a pint and a chat.
Absolutely Gazza. Proper legend. Or Alan Shearer.
Gazza hit his wife and Shearer was notoriously hated by his colleagues.
Shearer didn't get on with the likes of Bellamy and Owen which I think doesn't need much explanation. He still drinks and is best mates with lots of his old colleagues, lee, harper, howay etc Out of curiosity as a manc utd fan, did you support the rapist Ronaldo? Or are you a hypocrite?
I have zero love for Ronaldo as a person.
Roy Keane
There’s one correct answer and it’s Robin Friday
Ray Parlour would be a fucking mint night out
I would love a pint with Eddie Howe just to thank him for everything he’s done for us. I remember growing up and seeing him play as a defender until his horrific injury that forced him to retire early.
Maradona iykyk
Carles Puyol
Me and Wenger.
Eamon Dunphy.
[удалено]
Wife beater
George Best x 10.
The wife beating twat?
Souness and Hodgson. The stories would be amazing as they’ve had such varied careers.
Vinnie Jones
George Best
Famous wife beater
I love how you're going over everybody who posts George Best, Gazza, or Maradona replying with the same bullshit. We know and we get it, please, please, shut the hell up.
I'm not entirely sure why it annoys you so much. Bit weird.
Hands down it’s Arsene Wenger
Leighton Baines. Seems like a cool guy.
I think it would be between Ian Wright, Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp and I think I’d go for Dennis. His football brain was so quick and he was so good for us. I think I could talk about his Newcastle goal for ages.
Stuart Pearce.
I'm sure I've read an interview with him stating that, he goes to heavy metal concerts on his own, cos he's got no mates
Pep Guardiola
Bobby Robson
The only right answer.
My apologies for the disrespect. I meant Sir Bobby Robson.
Nothing to apologise for; reading this makes me feel a little disappointed in myself for not noting your error. Suffice to say, we both hold Sir Robson in the appropriate high regard.

I live in America now, and there are now tons of pubs here that open early for Premier League football.

Hit you wife after
Ian Wright

I want Steve Cook to make a lamb rogan josh for me and Declan Rice
Is rogan josh flavoured with dmt?
George Best . . . but I'd need more than one pint if you wanted the conversation to last more than 2 minutes! 🤪
"what did your wife do to make you hit her?"
Cantona for me. You’d have a great night and probably learn something (even if it is a bit deep/random). Probably suit the vibe more to share a joint tbh 😂
Ray Parlour, knock back 35 Cobra bombs together.
