Shilton - who won 125 caps for England in his 30 year career - is the currently the most capped England player ever, but said Steph had no idea who he was when they met.
The sportsman said it was only after a YEAR into the relationship, during a trip to Wembley, that the 48-year-old blonde twigged his legendary status when he was greeted as a hero by fans.
The goalie said: “One of the things I found so appealing about Steph was that she so clearly hadn’t a clue about football or who I was.”
