Who would have known that Victor Anichebe was such a big fan of Game of Thrones?
Well, he is. However, he doesn't seem to be a fan of two actors on the show who declined to take a photo with him after a chance meeting in a hotel lobby. The stars in question are Kit Harrington, who plays Jon Snow, and Rose Leslie, who plays Ygritte. The West Brom striker claims the two Game of Thrones stars allegedly blanked him and he later took to twitter to air his grievances.
1/3 Bumped into Kit Harrington & Rose Leslie at my hotel and being a big #GOT fan asked nicely for a pic...

2/3 Shame that they refused & felt to act the way they did, I would never decline someone a picture as without fans we're nothing... — Victor Anichebe (@VictorAnichebe) September 30, 2015
The interaction left such a sour taste in the Nigerian strikers mouth that he even went as far as to hope that Jon Snow, a cult figure on the show, doesn't return for the rest of the show's run.
3/3 I hope Jon Snow really is dead now in @GameOfThrones..... ???

It seems the actor and actress were in a rush to be somewhere more important and did not have time for a selfie. It was probably down to the fact that they know winter is coming....
