David Guiza Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Met Mike Tyson, Dirk Kuyt and Wilfred Bouma in the Bellagio, told Kuyt he should sign for Leicester; he was not convinced.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 I let Matt Horne use my old work's portaloo so he could do a line of beak.
BoneDog Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Met Tony Drago outside Burton Meadowside Swimming Baths. He didn't look happy, so I thought I'd try and cheer him up with a shout of 'AWIGHT TONYYYYYY'. Also met Frank Bruno, Geoff Capes, Ian Gillan and a host of other stars. Bruno is massive. Walked back to my mates and lied to them that I'd just said to Frank 'you've got five minutes to f*&k off else I'm gonna spark ya laddo'. He left soon after and the lads all thought I was solid.
Wakeyfox 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. Where do you live? Is it Morley? I'm in Tingley
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 My dad is a former international athletics coach so I have met quite a few top runners in the 80's 90's etc
Kitchandro Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Did Keith Weller slip your Gran any digits? Funnily enough it was Garland who tried to chat her up! True story! And on a related note I've just discovered that Balotelli asked my cousin for her number at a club last night.

And on a related note I've just discovered that Balotelli asked my cousin for her number at a club last night. My Dad was working with someone who turned down Lineker (pre nose op), during his Leicester days, as she didn't know who he was. I don't think he regrets it too much with his current missus though!
Guest MattP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Met Tony Drago outside Burton Meadowside Swimming Baths. He didn't look happy, so I thought I'd try and cheer him up with a shout of 'AWIGHT TONYYYYYY'. Heard some sick stuff about him and Vietnam, Laos etc.
cambridgefox Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 Keep remembering crap ones here. 15 of us went to Newquay when we were younger and we were out on the piss.We were talking to a few lads at the bar as it was early and not that busy.One of my mates said"I suppose you get this a lot,but you do look like Damon Albarn" it was.Seemed an interesting nice guy. Stumped Richie Richardson.Can you remember the question you asked him?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 Just remembered, I was once in a lift with Nils-Eric Johansson and Momo Sylla And I've also had the number-plate of my car read out over the tannoy at Filbert St. My car alarm wouldn't stop going off.
Corky Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 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. Saw that yesterday. Are you the kid who was shown after we were relegated or the angry child storming out when Derby were thumping us?

separator Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 Adrian Chiles asked me for directions in London once. Met Boris Johnson a few times through work. I work as a contractor for London Transport , once a year the company I work for have a charity do where we get on an old routemaster London bus and get driven around by the top brass of Transport for London, ending up in a free bar at the transport museum in Covent Garden. Boris is always on the bus at some point. My ex-girlfriend was a distant relation of Florence Nightingale My brother was at the Beckhams wedding in Ireland (sort of.. he helped set up some marquees I think )
MPH Posted 19 July 2013 Posted 19 July 2013 Under the david Pleat era me and a few mates went for a walk down to Filbert Street where we saw City going through some last minute set piece training before an away game.... All the players came out and got on the team coach... Marc North came back off the coach to us and said in his cockney accent " do us a favor, go and get us a couple of cans of Lucozade and a couple of mars bars " and put a few quid in my hand. Well that was it , I was off like a rocket to Filbert Grocers left all me mates trailing ( I wasn't usually known for my speed and was a little on the chubby side..) I burst into the shop and proudly announced I was here to buy some things for some Leicester players. I don't think they gave a crap really and just wanted my money.. Anyway, grabbed the change with the lucozade and mars bars and pelted it back to where the coach was waiting with the engine running... It about gave me a heart attack... anyway gave them the stuff and Marc North let me keep the change...
MC Prussian Posted 19 July 2013 Posted 19 July 2013 Made friends with a Switzerland U17 footballer on holiday, played football with him loads while I was there, just a kick about... not a claim to fame yet, but judging by his talent, it could well be someday. Do you remember his name or what team he was playing for? And when was this?
Babylon Posted 19 July 2013 Posted 19 July 2013 My mum's cousin is Roman Abramovich's yacht captain and is (or already has) designing his new yacht for him. Mate of mine worked on his yacht for quite some time .
notnow john Posted 19 July 2013 Posted 19 July 2013 Mrs Dad was in Showaddywaddy. Deal with it. Don't remember her!
Alf Bentley Posted 19 July 2013 Posted 19 July 2013 I'm Nigel Pearson. The most chilling contribution yet... Lyrics to "Chant down Babylon" by Bob Marley: http://www.metrolyrics.com/chant-down-babylon-lyrics-bob-marley.html Hmmm... "Men see their dreams and aspirations a crumble in front of their face; And all of their wicked intention to destroy the human race"....that figures! Babylon is indeed the Great Satan, Pearson!

Gary Lineker signed my leg cast when I was a kid Got a lift to filbo from Belvoir drive from Martin O'neill to be a ball boy.

Tielemans63 Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 When I was at Uni in Leeds I met Emma Atkins who plays Charity Dingle in Emmerdale in a club and managed to chat her up and have a little smooch. Things went a bit wrong when she asked me what I did for a living and I said I was a student. That seemed to put her right off and when I tried to save the situation by asking her what she did for a living she said 'I'm going for a fag' and that was that.* It was only afterwards that I found out who she was as some of the girls in my halls had been watching my epic fail unfold. I have two musical claims to fame: I used to get lifts to work from Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs and my cousin Ed is the bassist in Bombay Bicycle Club who are a pretty successful band. *Probably should point out that she was pretty (massively) wrecked when I met her and her friends just wanted me to **** off.
