Chrisâ€™ story:

My day started like any other day. It was a beautiful day, much different than the previous 4 days of torrential rain. As I was standing at the front of the restaurant waiting to seat guests, I noticed four very tall gentlemen approaching. I greeted them, they asked for a table.

From this point onwards, my whole day changed, and even now, I cannot quite believe it.

Iâ€™m 24 years old, and for as long as I can remember, I have loved Titans Football. Iâ€™ve lived in the UK all my life and only visited the United States once a year. Living in the UK, football isnâ€™t a very big thing. Itâ€™s gaining a big reputation, but it will never be as big as soccer. At work, I am the only person who knows anything to do with football. So for my day to take the path it took, well itâ€™s almost unbelievable.

As I turned to lead the gentlemen to their table, I was thinking, â€œThat man looks so familiar. It canâ€™t be him can it? Ben Roethlisberger, here, at my work? thousands of miles away from Pittsburgh? Nah, it canâ€™t be!â€

It was. My legs were like jelly and my heart was going so fast, it would have given Usain Bolt a run for his money (no pun intended). As Ben and his companions were taking their seats, I couldnâ€™t help but mention that he looked so familiar.

His response? â€œI get that a lotâ€. Right there I knew it was him.

â€œYou wouldnâ€™t happen to live in Pittsburgh would you?â€, I asked.

â€œYeah, we all doâ€, replied Ben. He extended his hand and I shook it. It completely engulfed my hand, but I didnâ€™t care. I was so starstruck, you wouldnâ€™t believe.

â€œIâ€™m Ben, nice to meet youâ€, he continued.

Now, Iâ€™m not 100% sure exactly what I said next but my mind said I know exactly who you areâ€. He must have been a little surprised that I recognized him straight away. I would imagine he thought he would not encounter anyone who recognizes him in Scotland.

For the rest of the afternoon, I was beside myself. I couldnâ€™t believe it at all. I met him after his round of golf and asked how it went and congratulated him on graduating a month prior. I donâ€™t know what I was expecting, but both he and his group were very friendly, and surprisingly easy to talk to.

Meeting Ben really made my day worth remembering. I donâ€™t know how many times my colleagues had been told that he is a 2-time Super Bowl champion and 2-time Pro Bowler. I must have driven them crazy. Put it this way: If they didnâ€™t know who Ben Roethlisberger is, they know a lot more about Ben Roethlisberger now than they used to.

Thank you for sharing your story, Chris!
