Have you ever met anyone famous?

Many years ago when I worked at a sports centre, an american basketball coach used to come in and we got to know each other quite well. One day he and his wife asked me if I would like to come over to their place for a meal and make up a foursome with Beverley Knight! It was short notice and I couldn't get anyone to cover for me with it being a Saturday night. I am still kicking myself.
Rudolph Hess.
My better half, the most talented female cyclist I have ever known and that includes Victoria Pendleton who I first met as a junior grass track racing.

Yep, but I've spoken to John loads of times, he always says hello (fan since 79)
Have you bought the Christmas single?

I used to work for a company with Herol Bomber Graham as a director so met quite a few famous boxers when i was younger. Nowadays the only famous person i know is Kevin Schwantz the motogp world champion, more accurately we're friends with his mum and dad who live in texas but we get invited to his parties when hes over here which is good fun.

You mean before he started to use Jim Moir instead of Rod Moir?

Blimey, that is going back a bit, I knew him when he first moved down to London with Jack in the mid 80's, by that point he was Jim.
I was working with a club manager/comedian called Malcolm, and introduced my cousins best mate him, they got married in the early 90's (and then divorced about 10 years ago)

But Jack's really called Jeff/Geoff if by Jack you mean Jack Dent.

I've met Ken Follet, but I doubt he remembers me. Other than that...I went for a ride with Mike Burrows a few years ago.
