Years later, they were reunited, and it was like fate had planned it.
Bradley, who said it was "surreal" to see the footie star up close, told the Echo that Phillips was "buzzing" when he saw the decade-old photo, and was happy to strike a pose to snap a new one.
He added: "I showed him the photo and he started showing everyone around him.
"He is a legend, and he was one of my favourite players."
