Met a Sports Celebrity in London

United States
May 30, 2025 3:01pm CST
We were at the London airport a very long time today At one point we were seated next to a beautiful man and his beautiful wife and their children and entourage. They were very blinged out and carried designer bags. I talked with them briefly Then some young boys started coming up to the man and taking their photo with him. Then the couple caught their plane I asked one of the young boys who the man was and were shocked that I didn’t know He’s apparently a famous soccer player named Enzo Fernandez. I attach a stock photo of him

The allure of the 'beautiful game' passed me by and I have no idea who he was!

Chelsea paid over £100 million quid for him. It's obscene When I was a lad footballers were on about £100 per week. I read somewhere that Ronaldo made $275 million in 2024

If you're not a soccer fan then no wonder you didn't know,

I've never heard of him either but there would be very few sports stars that I'd know.

Whenever I used to fly, I would try to look at all the passengers in First Class to see if anyone famous was there. Never saw anyone. We DID see our token celebrity in the Rodeo Drive area -- Ted Danson.

I have never heard of him, but then you know how most Americans are with soccer/football.
