Wayne Gretzky found on my sofa
 

Back in 1999 the Canadian Ice Hockey team were playing at London arena.

We arent big into Ice Hockey. A good friend of mine was head of London Arena security. I used to have a big batchelor pad by the Arena.

At about 10.30 my mate turns up at my place with 5 Canadian guys. They are ice hockey players. There are 40 plus in my place and these guys come in. We just think they are from a great country 'Canada'. We are all just getting drunk and partying. I am talking to one guy called Wayne, he tells me he plays ice hockey and was doing the show at London Arena. We then talk bollocks and have a good laugh together. I let a few people stay the night at the flat and this Wayne is one of them. I give him a cover and he sleeps on the sofa. Next morning we all wake up, complain about hang overs, I make breakfast and we all go out for Sunday lunch.

Apparently this Wayne guy is Wayne Gretzy (Whoever the fuck that is). My mate who was the head of security called me today and told me he has been trying to get in contact with me for the last few weeks as he is coming over to the UK and wants to go out again.

that's pretty kick ass if true.

Cool..get his autograph and post pics :)

Right I have just found the pictures of him on my sofa. I dont have a flat bed scanner here so I cant scan them in. I will get that done monday.

I do have his mobile phone number!

Wayne Gretzky is nothing in the UK. He can walk around as a nobody. He can fall asleep on someones sofa and everyone just thinks "We have a Canadian on the sofa drunk and passed out, lets look after him as he is from a great race"

So does everyone else, he was on Paris' Sidekick...
:pimp

Well stop calling him, he is drunk guy that ended up on my sofa.

Sounds like BS to me. Number 99 retired in early 1999.

I think at that point late in his career, the multi-millionaire Wayne Gretzky (the greatest hockey player ever, or in your words, "whoever the fuck that is") probably had gotten over the necessity to sleep on other people's couches.

Since you have his number give him a call so that you can plan your reunion since you indicated he is so anxious to reconnect with you.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures on Monday.

In London he is nothing. Just a person. Yes he is a multimillionaire, we never knew that. We treated him as a Canadian in London. Maybe he liked being with people who didnt know who he was.

Have to say his daughter sounds hot on the phone!

Just found out how good he was. Well, he will watch me play a footie match when he comes over and he has agreed to play on our 5 a side team.

Why the fuck do I have to lie about someone who in fame terms is nothing to me? There are the other 4 Canadian players from that night who are coming over as well. Want me to name them?

snap some pics of him sleeping on your sofa next time.

the great one

did u get laid?

I have pictures of him the first time. It was only 6 months back I found out the guy was a decent hockey star.

I was in my house sorting though pictures with another Canadian friend of mine and he was the pictures of Wayne and said " That looks like Wayne Gretzky on your sofa" I said yeah the guy is called Wayne he plays ice hockey. I showed my mate a jersey that Wayne had given me the next day with OILER down the front of it. It has Gretzky on the back and is number 99. It was signed at the bottom but because I have washed it the signature ihas run out. I didnt realise he had autographed it. After the first wash I thought it was a stain so kept washing it to get rid of it.

The autograph is now totally gone as I use it when I snowboard on Sundays so I wash it on a regular basis.

Relish XXX this is very amusing to say the least. I have no reason not to believe you. But you must understand the gravity of the statement you just made.

Saying "Wayne", as you like to call him, is a decent hockey star is the equivelent of calling the Beetles a somewhat successful music group.

Wayne is to Hockey what God is to religon. Wayne is to hockey what the Beetles are to music. So to call him a decent hockey star is a gross understatement.

Please, call them the Beatles, and not a Volkswagon.

WOW, I botched that. :winkwink:

Interesting.. I'll wait for the pics...

Lucky guy :P

you don't know how many Canadians would take a bullet for that man.

Wayne's been married a while, and he's pretty rich. So unless we get some pics, this story sounds pretty fishy. Maybe someone played a joke on you or something, but get those pics scanned.

The marriage thing and the year of 1999 is now making me think that someone was winding me up.

However, the fact that after all these years he has come back to the UK and wants to buy me a beer for putting him up makes me think it is real.

Why would he lie to me when in the UK we dont know who he is at all? It was only when I googled his name I found out that he is probably more important than our Queen!

Tell Wayne to make me a fansign

He just wants to bugger you again. He'll buy you a beer, flip your bum up in the air on your sofa, and slapshot your ass until you're screaming "hat trick".

Can't wait to see the pictures of that.

I agree with above , its some freak that wants to drug you and rape you, wayne doesnt play hockey anymore, he is married, and walks around with armed security 24/7

hard to believe that Wayne Gretzky would be sleeping on a couch in 1999.

When I lived in Brantford (english canada) my kid brother use to play a few games with him and once in awhile we would hang out.

But then we moved back to the civilized but lazy part of Canada. (Quebec)

Not hard to believe when he was on the Isle of Dogs in London and that night due to terrorist attack alert the two bridges were closed. He had two choices, sleep on my sofa or sleep on the street.

Right on, hes a cool guy, met him once before. I went to a hockey school when I was younger put on by his brother. Special guests at the school, were NHLer's Rob Blake, Marty Mcsorley, and the great one himself, Wayne Gretzky.

Nice. That's a pretty cool story.

His mom has lung cancer, doubtful that he's doing much travelling right now.
