OzFox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Is this guy the British number 2 ? No but I also got cleaned up by Stuart Bale towards the end of his career. He was notorious for lighting up a fag on change-overs. Might explain why Brit tennis didn't exactly flourish for a long while
Guest ttfn Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 I played cricket with Alastair Cook's brother for many years. He was rubbish. I was rubbish.
StanSP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Is her arse, as good as it looks on the tele? Last question that is. Don't want to be touted as the next Leicesterpool. Honestly, it is much better. I played cricket with Alastair Cook's brother for many years. He was rubbish. I was rubbish. You from around the Bedford area?
theessexfox Posted 17 July 2013 Author Posted 17 July 2013 My mum's relatives run a funeral service that did Maggie and will do the Queen. EDIT: Their funerals...
Guest ttfn Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Honestly, it is much better. You from around the Bedford area? Yeah. Don't live there anymore though. Not a claim to fame but I unwittingly called Martin Keown ugly and (wittingly) told him he was rubbish for Leicester in the queue for the gents at the USA v Algeria game at the last World Cup. He took it well to be fair.
cambridgefox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Yeah. Don't live there anymore though. Not a claim to fame but I unwittingly called Martin Keown ugly and (wittingly) told him he was rubbish for Leicester in the queue for the gents at the USA v Algeria game at the last World Cup. He took it well to be fair. Must be an ex Arsenal thing.I was in a pub on the outskirts ofCambridge slagging off Gus Caeser,who was playing for Cambridge at the time.i might have been doing an impression of his miss kick in the FA Cup final( obviously not with Cambridge) or just slating his play I can't remember.Anyway who was standing behind me,much to my mates amusement.We had all had a turn at slagging him off,but it was my turn.To be fair he didn't bat an eyelid.
bovril Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Another great uncle - Jack Lee. Ex-girlfriend went out with James Milner (maybe still does).
cambridgefox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Another great uncle - Jack Lee. Ex-girlfriend went out with James Milner (maybe still does). I would have preferred Rusty Lee in fairness.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 • I was physically pushed out of the way by Ryan Giggs outside the City Ground when I was 8 • My drawing of Wario was featured in Total Nintendo magazine (when I was 8) and I was awarded "Top Man of the Month" • I was on BBC East Midlands Today complaining about our school bus when I was 12 • I've drummed in the support slots for Bad Manners, King Blues, Random Hand • Once walked past Paul Daniels and Debbie McGhee, and acknowledged neither • I'm probably related to Englebert Humperdinck, like every other bastard in this city
StanSP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Yeah. Don't live there anymore though. Nice, whereabouts? A lot of the England cricket lot and British golfers go to a small village called Cople just outside Bedford. Apparently there's a really good restaurant/events place there and my friends have done catering for a few events and met them. Their claim to fame but I've tried to get in on it as well to no avail!
goose2010 Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Met Dennis Irwin in Florida he was walking the wrong way round the lazy river at wet n wild was a surreal moment saying to by brother 'look at this **** walking the wrong way round' then the realisation it was Dennis Irwin great day. Met Paul Nixon on Friday at the 20/20 he was playing catch with his kids smacking a tennis ball with a racket after the match my mate jumped the barrier went for the catch dropped it to the amusement of about 200 people still watching on! Met Dennis Rodman in Vegas nice guy bloody massive though also had a chat and photos with penn and teller very nice guys but was strange chatting to teller!
Manwell Pablo Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Called Dennis Wise a cvnt to his face at a rather sophisticated Leeds Bar when very drunk. Was in the VIP area of Cafe Mambo in Ibiza for about 90 minutes a few summer ago and the amount of famous people in there was quite mind blowing. Not a lot besides that apart from meeting the odd footballer/manager in Ashby (lot of them stay at Springs and a few venture out)
Uncle Albert Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Some of these claims to fame are pretty cool, yet some are ridiculous and even slightly embarrassing. Still can't get over the lad who said "my Mum sat on Red Rum" hahaha.
Soar Fox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Met Efan Ekoku at my friends family BBQ. He was going out with my mates auntie at the time.
StanSP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 End of game. No player ever for Leicester has had a name begin with O?
ScouseFox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 I've played darts with Adrian Lewis. That's about it bar bumping into most Liverpool players from about 2004-2008 squads round by ours. John Arne-Riise (ooh ahh) was the soundest. He helped me pack my bags at the checkout in Sainsburys.
Narborough_fox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Met John Barnes in Target supermarket in Florida. Dado Prso was my uncle's old next-door neighbour hen he played for Rangers and he used to play football on the street if people knocked on his door. Unfortunately I never got the chance to do this. After the Leicestershire vs Essex t20 quarter-final (Nico's last game at Grace Road) there was a pitch invasion and I touched Paul Nixon's head and was also on Sky Sports News.
FoxesAreBlue Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 I was on BBC when Hinckley played Brentford in the first round of the FA cup at the old ground. John Solako took a throw in tight infront of me and I ruffled his hair
Leeds Fox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Played for the same junior club as Jonny Howson, a couple of years below him. He's from my village. Also, the keeper from my team now plays pro in Scotland, and kept a clean sheet against Rangers at Ibrox last season. Got lift home from Neil Lennon, from Elland road with my dad as a kid. I know many and I'm friends with a few Super League (rugby league) players. Which isn't uncommon for anybody from Yorks/Lancs really! So that can be dismissed. Oh, almost forgot... I've played 7 a side against the legend that is Kammy a couple of times.
The Doctor Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 End of game. No player ever for Leicester has had a name begin with O? Wrong thread? And there probably is one deep in history.
StanSP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Forgot to mention that I've been on stage at The O2 Arena with 30 Seconds To Mars. My mate slapped Jared's ass while I went for the more conservative reach out and touch anywhere (blue hair was good enough for me). Wrong thread? And there probably is one deep in history. Very much the wrong thread ::.
Guest MattP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Wrong thread? And there probably is one deep in history. Ormondroyd!
21st Century Fox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 My mum's cousin is Roman Abramovich's yacht captain and is (or already has) designing his new yacht for him.
StanSP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Ormondroyd! Ah he's one of those one-name players. Always did have that bit of Brazilian in him...
RonnieTodger Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 My Grandma's first cousin is Burt Kwouk (From Pink Panther, James Bond, Last of the Summer Wine etc) Met Sven, was mascot for Leicester at Ipswich and I'm on Premiership Years for like a second, 2001/02! and Peter Shilton used to live on the same street as the same Chinese Grandma.
