I played football with Mutley the lead singer of the Macc Lads for about 8 years. Nice guy still see him around.

I have met and seen many other famous people over the years but Mutley stands out as being the only one who has been banned from the USA

Smoking has been my big connector...


I met Kenneth Brannagh and Hugh Laurie whilst the 3 of us had an illicit fag at the baggage carousel in T4 at H'row... we sat like naughty schoolboys.
Also met Mike Read whilst having a fag at Luton Airport.
In Oxford bumped into, Alan Coren and Andy Hamilton and had a Thai meal with Baroness Greenfield at the next table.
Also had a brief chat with Prince Charles.
