Not many big names is there. Morrissey is still the stand out.

I met Gazza. I was on holiday at a golf resort in Portugal where David Seaman and Paul Scholes have a villa each. Seaman runs a golf charity event every July and gets along footaballers and celebs to attend.  There was a gym there and i was on the rowing machine one day and the guy next me started talking to me - it was Gazza in his keep fit days.  Very friendly - I asked him what he was doing and he mentioned some charity football games...me thinking I might go and watch asked him where that was taking place.  What heard was "Mobia" in a broad Geordie accent.  I didn't quite understand what he said. So I asked him to repeat it two more times and then it finally clicked - he meant Marbella!  So feeling a bit embarrassed I said my good bye, thanked him for the entertainment over the years and exited stage left. Also met Bradley Walsh there nice guy.  Had David Seaman and Craig Chalmers baby-sitting the kids on the beach. Saw the Scholes family on the beach.

Jonny Depp in the butchers at Ibstock

[Wymsey]

Miley Cyrus, but only when she bent down in front of me.

[Benguin]

My hand accidentally tapped against Emma Watson's bum while she was having a photograph with my friend. Essentially I can say truthfully: Emma Watson? Yeah I've tapped that ass.

[GeorgeTheFox]

I met all the members of the Darkness, and partied with their new drummer the other week. Also saw Johnny Depp once, not dressed as jack sparrow though unfortunately. Pretty wild life i lead

I've met the entire West Indies touring team of 1989 - and seen them all naked (I kid you not)

Myself and Geoff Peters were junior members at Grace Road and got there early the day the Windies came to play LCCC. The team Manager asked us if we'd help take the bags up to the changing rooms - so we did. We were then asked out onto the outfield to throw some balls at them so they could practice slip catches. After the match we were invited back up to the changing room to get their autographs and take the gear back to the bus. I VIVIDLY remember sat down between a naked Viv Richards and Malcolm Marshall while the rest of the team walked in and out of the showers. I was 16 back then and have felt suitably inadequate since

[Footnote75]

I once met Iwan Thomas at a pole-vaulting competition in the middle of Birmingham. Literally in the city - Victoria Square, I think it was...

 

Plenty of classical musicians/composers/conductors - Michael Nyman is a scary, scary man.

 

Once went on a 'walk in the woods' course with Ray Mears. Very nice chap but takes no nonsense from anyone!

[Lionheart10]

Was in a box at West Ham and had a chat with Perry Fenwick (Billy Mitchell - Eastenders) he was alright a normal bloke to be honest,don't know why he wouldn't be really!

Mark Selby lives in the same village as my parents. Apparently he mixes with the locals (although he's not home very much) and is a really genuine, down to earth nice bloke. We're lucky to have him as one of our own. World champion. Legend.

[Unabomber]

I saw Unabomber at Sunderland 

 

 

Seen him on a train between Blackburn and Preston. He's not bad. Surrounded by bodyguards but time for everybody.

wow I really made it.

 

Miley Cyrus, but only when she bent down in front of me.

 

shame that this is a lie cos would have been a right tale.

where's my name check pal?

 

 

 

 

 

I met Nigel Pearson he was so legit he offered to share a taxi to the ground but we opted to go to the pub instead (opposite way) I regret this every day.

 

I met Matty Fryatt after we played sheffield united away (he was playing for hull at the time - unlucky ) he was out in sheffield after anyway. I went up to him, he was wearing a dodgy as **** plaid shirt and was drinking carling out of a plastic cup. He was like ohhh for ****s sake, guys Kyle Naughton is upstairs and he actually plays for you atm go talk to him. Went up up to talk to Kyle Naughton n he said hey bro you played pretty good tonight, he was drinking moet out of a bottle and said I was shit. I said ok pal and walked off back to find fryatt.

 

Found fryatt.

 

He was still in the same spot on his own and the only difference was his carling had gone down a bit and he had spilt a bit of beer on his plaid shirt.

Now he was abit sauced and was like guys just hang out with me now? We were like ok pal.

He got more drunk etc I think this was when Pearson was at Hull and we were like why'd you leave Leicester cos your boyfriend left? He was like yeeeah I wank Nigel off all the time.

 

Anyway now things get interesting, Naughton and his squad come down to the main bit and next thing we know a member of his squad starts literally sparking out some women like decking them, my mate ends up getting kicked out for sticking up for the women.

 

The night is ending and fryatt is still with us, he is like guys which strip club shall we go to? We are like wow what a weirdo.

 

Anyway we go outside and there is a club opposite called babylon which is pretty shit and suddenly all manner of leicester fans come out. Now I have a dilemma, either go to a strip club with fryatt or aware these guys that fryatt is here.

 

I chose the latter and the next thing I know fryatt is in a battered corsa (no idea where it came from) and we are all banging on it going DU DU DU DU MATTY FRYATT.

 

Next day I was in the police station with me pals making statements about Naughton's mate hitting women.

 

This is a true story.

[Salieri]

Met Frank Bruno in bizarre circumstances, what a guy.  Got me into the local club where he was DJing (around his 'nuts' phase) and treated me to the whole VIP treatment, great character but clearly unwell at the time.

 

Was also best mates with Thandie Newton's brother so knew her pretty well for a fair few years.

[Izzy]
