Just saying someone's name...

I was talking to a colleague in the office one morning about the Scotland national football team. He is a good few years younger than me and, at the time, had seen some pretty decent performances over the years. I was telling him about some I had seen from further back, some terrible games. I got round to telling him about one game against San Marino, a team of part time players. A dreadful match that stood out for one event; the Scotland midfielder John Collins, a truly world class player, picked the ball up almost in his own penalty area, ran the length of the pitch with the ball and scored having taken the ball passed a number of opposition players. We tried to see if there were any video clips of the goal online but never found any. That evening, on my way home I stopped off at the recently opened takeway in our village. I was standing at the counter about to pick up my order when someone came in through the door. I turned to look...and it was the man himself... John Collins! I actually took a step back and said "Oh my god I was just talking this morning about a goal you scored for scotland!" he asked me which one and after I told him he said that he had a video of it. I was so taken aback and awe struck that it was only after I had left the shop that I should have asked if I could get a copy or at least get his autograph. I had never seen him before and I have never seen him since. I have posted the following previously as I am wondering if some people are either more prone to coincidences, or for some reason notice them more: Numders(should have been numbers!)
