Former Premier League midfielder and popular television personality Jimmy Bullard<\/strong> has a reputation for his entertaining antics both on and off the pitch. One of the most famous stories from his playing days involves a mischievous moment that stunned his former teammate, ex-goalkeeper David Stockdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The humorous anecdote, recounted by Stockdale on the Under The Cosh<\/em> podcast, took place shortly after Bullard arrived at Ipswich Town, insisting on being roomed with Stockdale. One evening, while the two were relaxing in their hotel room, a Babestation broadcast was playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stockdale recalled Bullard casually claiming, “Look, I know her,”<\/strong> in reference to the model on screen. When Stockdale expressed disbelief, Bullard decided to prove his claim in a highly unorthodox way: by calling the live hotline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much to Stockdale’s shock, the model immediately recognised him. “He picks the phone up, ‘alright love, it’s Jimbo’,” Stockdale recounted. “And she went, ‘alight Jimbo, how are you doing?'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exchange continued with Bullard making various outlandish requests, leaving his teammate utterly bewildered. When pressed on how he knew the model, Bullard\u2019s answer was simple: “I rang her the other week.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story provides a classic example of Bullard’s personality, blending cheekiness with genuine familiarity in a moment that highlights the unexpected intersections between the worlds of professional sport and glamour entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bullard, who played for clubs including Wigan Athletic, Fulham, and Hull City, ended his professional career at MK Dons after leaving Ipswich Town, and has since gone on to a successful television career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
