Played football against Sam Dingle from Emmerdale. Not a charity match, he just played for a team in my old teams division. He was as terrible as you could imagine!

Posted

He`s the main reason why no one wants to go to Coalville.... Theres lots and lots of other reasons but he`s the main one.

It's really not that bad unless you drink in Spoons. Still a couple of decent pubs and plenty of totty though admittedly I think they come from out of town. And everyone's heard of Emporium!

The Year Of The Fox looks like a younger version Bruno Berner.

 

I've been on Countdown (consequently met Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley)

 

I gave medals to some of the best athletes at the Olympics, including the GB rowing team who won the first gold at London 2012.

 

Met Sir Steve Redgrave, Kobe Bryant, Sir Trevor Brooking, Bruce Willis and Shannon Leto.

Monty Panesar used to go to my school and on one of his returns to the school, I got to play a bit of cricket with him. Also same school as Jeremy Irvine (real name Jeremy Smith), star of War Horse. Don Broco also went to the same school.

Not a massive part, but he played the Priest guy in it. 2 episodes I think. He's walking around one of the battles blessing the dead and then the other he is in the forest blessing the soldiers. I forget the names of the specific episodes.

 

EDIT:

 

He's in the 3rd episode called Carentan and think the other is episode 6 Bastogne.

 

That's him here.

I played in a tennis tournament against the guy ranked 457 in the world

Won the first set, then crumbled under the pressure and lost the next two.

Never hit those "heights" again

Is this guy the British number 2 ?

Winner. Close thread.

Not much that I'm aware of, I've been drinking with Howling Lord Hope (leader of the MRLP) when he was running for Bradford West, other than that nothing really.

I was once on football focus commentating when I was 9. I've also been on East Midlands Today singing in front of the bus at a City match and been in the background of Channel 4 racing.

 

My family have better ones, my uncle did some business with Fidel Castro and got World Cup final tickets from Pele (I think). My sister was like the ringleader of the student protests a while ago (not the ones who chucked bricks, but she was standing on a car or something and chanting to the crowd. The nutter.)

 

My grandparents used to go clubbing with Keith Weller and Chris Garland and Dennis Rofe sold them a freezer.

Shouldn't have put those photos on though, now I'm going to be on the look out for him at away games :ph34r:

I've met an Italian World Cup winner, not got a clue who he was but he had a picture of him with the squad (1982 I believe). Owned his own little restaurant on the coast in Tuscany, got a few free shots from him after pretending to know who he was.

 

Met a couple of jockeys and race trainers.

 

I also got Tim Flowers gloves at Birmingham away after La Manga and well, that's it really.
