Dan Marino Most Valuable Player of the year from 1983 till 1992 played Quaterback for the Dolphins.
A couple of years ago I met him at the bar at Turnberry in Scotland when I was having a work do and came a long with my wife. I was extremely drunk and so were a lot of the people I was with and only just met. Then was the time that this very big guy stood next to me where I was sitting at the bar. Everyone was looking at him and my neighbour elbowed me and said do you know who that is. I had no idea but before I knew it I was introduced. This bloke said, he Dan, Dan Morino may I introduce you to a friend of mine. This is Viggo Mortensen. Dan looked at me as if to say, what the ****. So this so called friend of mine said you don´t know Viggo. Viggo from Lord of the Rings. Well I shook his hand, he gave me a tap on the shoulder and said it was very nice to finally meet me.
The story which followed a few drinks later and a certain lady in the same bar, will have to wait till my wife has a new job but it started like this.
Are you Viggo Mortensen. Nah, I said. But you are famous right. Nah, not really. Yes you are tell me, where do I know you from.
Well, I said. I am Marco van Basten. The Dutch national football coach......
