Stealing this idea from Waccoe (but expanding it from Leeds United players to famous people in general)

Have you ever been to a famous persons house, seen them in the traffic with you, done work for them etc.

Seen Michael Duberry at his house (in his drive to be precise) (which was opposite the house a friend of mine lives in)

Had a good chat with Mike Whitlow at Centre Parcs (Oasis) in Penrith about 4 years ago (we were both waiting for our children to come down a slide in the swimming pool - top bloke

Seen Alan Smith several times when he had his yellow ferrari (stuck out like a sore thumb in middleton) and my brother sees his brother on a regular basis as his brother is training to be (or might now be) a gas engineer.

Had Jon Newsome & Mad Mick Henningan present our football trophies at our awards night many moons ago

Served Chris Fairclough at the Queens in Pudsey when he was their as the guest of some Leeds United supporters club (I think) - it was just after he suffered that head injury and his forehead looked like it had a zip in it.

Nearly had my head taken off by Robert Molenaar's wayward golf shot at Hollins Hall in Bradford - he was playing golf with Stuart McCall & another of our ex players that went to Bradford (swedish / dutch / danish origin )

Spoke to Rio in M&S in Leeds

Mate / Colleague of mine had Lee Sharpe as his best man at his wedding (unfortunately I didn't know this at the time and had spent 20 minutes slagging him off as a useless waster )

Mate of mine did the kitchen & bedroom fitting at Tony Dorigo's house (he said his wife was exceptionally fit)

Dad often finds himself fishing next to Norman Hunter

And slightly off topic - I have spent three lunchtimes sitting next to Steve Davis, one with Dennis Taylor and one with Glenn McCrory

Got to speak to some of the players at a testamonial (players were parking up in the West Stand Car Park) (I think it was John Charles' testamonial but I might be wrong - long time ago ) - got to briefly speak to (& the signatures of) John Charles, Eddie Gray, Billy (I think), Micheal Platini & Kenny Dalglish (although I might be getting different testamonials mixed up)

Also got to spend 30 minutes talking to Alan Clarke in the Corporate Hospitality bit at ER before the Leeds United vs Man City game (first game of the season) - client I was "entertaining" knew Frannie Lee of MC - so he went up to talk to him before hand and Alan Clarke came over - great guy (although he sounded drunk to me )

Met Nigel Benn in Tenerife (when he was training for the Eubank fight I think) - top (scary) bloke - spent the night getting pissed whilst he told us boxing stories

Also met George Best in Linekers Bar in Tenerife and got him to sign a linekers bar T-Shirt wishing my sunday league side good luck for the coming season

Walked alongside Patsy Kensit in Paris (years ago) and also saw Tom Hanks in a pub in Lincoln when he was filming the Da Vinci Code.

Gary Speed came along to see (I assume his local sunday league side) - East Keswick play us (Pudsey Amateurs) at their place.

And on an even sadder note I have held the "real" rider cup Embarassed

Bloody Hell Boxy you celebrity whore Wink

I once had a piss next to Alex Stepney at Old Trafford at Half Time. I was in a Corporate Box and we were 1-0 up. Chappy rising like a salmon with a bullet header. Stepney says to me. “ Good game eh?. Think well get one back Though”. I says “yerrr Rolling Eyes

, typical spawny scum twats” gave the old fella a shake (Not Stepney) and walked off.

Right, where to start Confused

Last year at Coles, was talking to Jeff Fatt for quite a while, while our missus's were shopping. And trust me it's a lie, he dont fall asleep that often

Jeff

Had a couple of drinks with Paul Hogan and John Cornell up at the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay, and I must say that Delvene and Linda were quite tasty..

OH, and about 2 weekends ago, I cooked a steak sandwich for Martin Sacks(PJ Hasham) and 2 sausages for his kids, while we had a fundraising bbq for the swimming club at the pool.

Loads of sporting personalities, but thats boring

On business last year had an appointment Ferguson's PA at O..T......
He came in during the call and sat in for a few minutes Evil or Very Mad

On a plus note, I did see his credit card bill with his home address so if you hear about a Stockport based Leeds fan arrested in Wilmslow it will be me

Peter Barnes lives 2 doors away from me Embarassed

Dave Gorman

Do you know of him? He’s a comedian quite a good one really, original and inventive. He’s written some books and done a few one off shows. (Googlewack for instance). So me, half2 and a few mates (yes me too Laughing

) went to see home in town one night at the LBT.

He makes such a deal out of his ordinariness and what a great normal guy he is during the show. He asks where to go for a beer after the show, we tell him, and he says we are all welcome to join him for a chat etc etc and we all think”what a great bloke”

So we are in the Vox bar in Town and when I got back from the bogs, half2 is almost in tears. I say what’s up and she tells me she’s just seen Dave Gorman at the bar. In her own excitable way (like when she watches me undress Cool

) she says to him “oooohh your Dave Gorman weve just seen you. It was great.” Then apparently Dave Gorman roles his eyes, sighs and turns away and half2 comes back all upset.

Well my Mate big Shaun was all set for killing him and we all turn round and glare at him. Dave Gorman sups up pronto and leaves the bar. I shouts "eh Dave" he turns around and I just went “See ya” in a sarcastic way. Not very funny Rolling Eyes

I know but what a wanker. Fucking celebrities eh
Evil or Very Mad
