I saw Brian Little and his wife in the departure lounge at EMA once. I didn't have the nerve to talk to him.

Brian is a lovely chap, a good friend of ours, as is his wife. He would have been more than happy to chat to you.

 

Just had a knee replacement at the weekend and is progressing well.

I saw a snooker player at the airport once (i forget his name but his nickname was something to do with the wind and he used to be abit of a coke head.) 

 

I kept staring at him and thinking i knew him from somewhere, so i went up to him and asked 'do i know you' he just laughed and said maybe. 

 

Was embarrassed when i realised on the plane how i knew his face :S

I saw Demarai Gray in the pub the other day, but didn't want to disturb him with his mates (and draw attention to him because no one else seemed to have a clue who he was!). 

 

I once saw Peter Shilton jogging through Bradgate Park, and we said hello whilst passing.

 

But most famous sportsperson I have met has to be Andy Murray after the Davis cup win in Ghent, Belgium. He spent ages afterwards (probably approaching an hour) getting photos with all the travelling fans who wanted one. Good bloke!

I got started on by Vardy in Yates a couple years ago. Willy Thorne lives across the road from me.

Heard he's had a difficult time quite recently, hope things have got better as he's nice to talk to.

I sat across from Tim McInnerny (Lord Percy/Captain Darling - Blackadder) on the way to one of our 1-1 draws earlier this year, and when I was away in Gower over half-term, I was finishing my dinner in a pub and Adrian Chiles wandered in. I said hi and then left him alone - apparently he lives down there, and mixes in well enough.
