Famous people you have seen (and where)

[buggi]

i saw Jamie Rednapp in London walking down the street.
I looked at him and thought "he's hot"
Then my next thought was "O i know him" and i nearly actually said hi, thinking i must know him from work or something.
Then just a split second before I embarrassed myself and realised who it was.

I once ran into Roy Castle's dog, and would regularly see Cliff Richard as well as Lewis Collins, Eddie Large and John Laurie. But then I did live in Gerrards Cross in the late 70s so it was hard not to.

Im pretty sure I saw Chris Hughton (more than once) (during the mid 1990's) on the road I live just a few doors down.He played for Spurs in the 1980's and is now caretaker manager of Newcastle.

Am I alone in never having met anyone famous?

Am I alone in never having met anyone famous?

No

I once had to introduce Isla St Clair (who, if I remember correctly has some link with Wafflycat) at a hospital fete in the 1980s. I was a gibbering wreck, borne on the tide of her loveliness to an island of unrequitedness.

The then Archbishop of Canterbury (Ramsay?) Heathrow Airport, 80's
Lesley Joseph at a wedding reception, Kidderminster, 90's
One of the England Cricketers who played also for Worcestershire at a Tennis Club near Worcester, 2000's - I can't remember the name but it might come back to me

I remember on the train back from Liverpool in 1984 Steve Perryman actually spoke to me.

Oh yeah and I got a load of autographs as well.

I've punched Henry Cooper in the balls

Patrick Allen and the barratts helecopter when he canme to open a new bit of our housing estate.

Nearly ran Glenn Roeder (ex - footballer Newcastle Utd at the time) over on my driving test as he was jogging on the central reservtation of the Fenham By-pass in Newcastle.

Nigel Pivaro (Terry Duckworth I'm told) jaywalked in front of me cycling down Deansgate in Manchester.

I was a photography student in Manchester and we used to get comp tickets to the BBC and ITV occasionally to act as the press gallery.

Peter Beardlsey in a McDonalds in Manchester

Various Liverpool and Everton players when my son was in Alder Hey a few years back.

Gordon Burns (ex Krypton Factor, now BBC local news anchor for N West) at the last Salford Triathlon

I've met Henry Cooper, although I didn't punch him in the nuts. The guy has to be the most physically impressive person i've met, even at his age. A mountain.

John Mundy used to live round the corner from me.

 

[dan_bo]

And i've had a few pints with Dennis Law.

 

[dan_bo]

And I work with George Bests' sisters' husband.

Niall Mckenzie.

Forgot about Niall MacKenzie - he's from Denny(or was) near Falkirk. I spoke to him in Jim Allan Motorcycles in Falkirk in about 1987 - I was ordering tyres and had a blether with him in the shop. I wasn't exactly sure who he was at the time - just knew I recognised him from somewhere. Then it dawned on me when I heard his first name mentioned. He was a very nice guy.
