Went to York a few years ago, and shared a taxi with Mr and Mrs Thompson of Cheveley Park Stud, who insisted on paying for cab. On way back I was at front of queue and Seb Sanders ran up and asked to share cab. Cheeky tw@t jumped out about 50 yards from station and never gave me anything. Had a share in a horse with Les Eyre in 90's and Claire King fronted syndicate. She was really nice.

I dint make any comments earlier, so..
Henry Cooper, loud, extrovert, very friendly chatty - nice man. Steve Davies, quiet, reserved, polite and friendly - very pleasant. John Cleese - fine, okay. Not as 'warm' as the above two. |

Charles Dance - very nice guy who I chatted to in a hotel bar in Italy
Micky Dolenz - in a pub, he was asking all sort of questions about the locale. Really nice chummy guy. Joel Stransky - was very pleasantly surprised to see him at a small social event. No one else seemed to know who he was so spent a lot of time talking to him about rugby, SA, Mandela etc. Daisy Donovan - We got talking one afternoon in a sparsely populated boozer just off Kensington High St. It would be accurate to say she smiled at me a couple of times so I chatted her up.  |

That reminds me. I saw Frank Worthington in Hills in Heywood, near Rochdale about 12 years ago. He said can you pass me a pen mate. Does that count?

Just remembered, The Duke Of Edinburgh, when he came to a boys club in east London. I was about 12, and we were all lined up in the main corridor to shake his hand. The boy next door but one to me still had his boxing gloves on.
'Everything okay?' 'Yes sir.' Not exactly top class banter, but that was about all it amounted to for most of us. |

How remiss of me, have also spoken to several darts players, T O Shea - lovely bloke, Ted HAnkey - again nice guy, and my favourite: John 'Boy' Walton and I once trod on Peter Manleys toe and apologised. He was fine! John Walton was very funny actually. Ah yes, the Phoenix Bar at Bob Potters....that's were the A listers will happily share a pint and yarn with you
I think those two names top De Niro and Nicholson by some margin! |

Was on holiday in South of France, around 1982 (?), me and my (then) wife were sitting at an outside table at a bar in St. Tropez around 1 am. It was very quiet there that night, and a couple strolled up the little back street we were in, and out of the blue asked if they could join us. It was Bryan Ferry and his girl of the moment, a blonde American, but it wasn't Jerry Hall, that's for sure.
They stayed about an hour, chatted all the while, shared a few bottles of this and that. Really nice guy as it happened. of course my wife just sat there with a stunned expression the whole time. |

Jimmy Savile,when he was the 'Chieftain' of the Lochaber Highland Games.
I've known a number of Olympic athletes and international footballers though I doubt if any of them would consider themselves to be a 'celebrity'. |

You're right about the shirt BB. I think it's in the National Football Museum in Manchester. I'm sure there was talk of it going to the football academy in Burton at some stage though.
He did deserve the shirt though, it was a great assist!  |

Des Lynam...he was a really nice guy.
Willie Carson...I scared the life out of him...he seemed to be nervous...obviously has a guilty conscience. Denise Van Outen... a strange experience. It was a few years back and she was so down to earth and very provactive. |
