Met The Krankies once, both were in tuxedos!
Met the guy who played Nigel in EastEnders in a pub once, I was pointing at him and telling my mates who he was, at which point he came over and said "hi" thinking that he knew me. My mate thought he would try some chat with him at the bar later, but got short shrift! |

In the 70s, my father and I were making our way up north on the A1. We stopped at a motorway café for a cup of tea. It was early morning and the place was packed with the breakfast rush. A chap came over to our table with his tray and asked if he could share, he was very pleasant and we all chatted our way through a nice breakfast before going our separate ways.
A couple of days later, father showed me a piece in the newspaper featuring the chap in question, it was World Title holder John H Stracey. I once encountered Muhammad Ali at Heathrow airport, but that's another story ... |

Was in a nightclub in Sheffield about 7/8 years ago and was coming down some steps inbetween 2 rooms. From where we were we could see coming up the steps, non other than Carlton Palmer. Anyway as he got closer a group behind me and the lad i was with shouted '' Carlton, your f*cking w*nk''.
As we went past him he obviously thought it was us and grabbed my mate on the stairs and try'd starring him out-my mate, just not giving a t*ss pushed him back and told him and his followers to jog on. He obviously thought better of it and carried on, good job really cos the kid who i was with is a bit handy with his fists and would have smashed him allover the nightclub. |

Peter West (ex BBC cricket presenter) once knocked on my front door and asked if he could have a cup of tea! He was presenting the prizes after the local fun-run and it seems the hospitality was somewhat lacking!
