Do you know anyone famous?

[El Presidente]

I was the first person to tell Ian Botham he had been picked by England in 1977.

Also met Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr at a party, and played cricket against Martin Edwards and Steve Bruce when they were a client of a former employer.

 

[sully]

I forgot to mention earlier that my boss in the job before my current one was Jonathan King.


Not that one, though!

Roger Taylor (Wimbledon semi-finallist when no-one else turned up) was a friend of my dad.

Went to school with Duncan Goodhew

Used to work with the ex-wife of the ex-drummer with Atomic Rooster

Met Cliff Richard when he toured the USSR in 1976

Tom Petty came and sat next to me to watch Nils Lofgren's set at the Dome. TP had been the, rather good, support act

My girlfriend's Aunt is the lead actress in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - the older one who was also in a Bond movie with Pierce Brosnan

Can't believe it's taken me this long to realise that I know one of the actors in Emmerdale (playing Paul Lambert) - Mathew Bose. He came to my 40th birthday party, and I was at his birthday party on my 40th birthday! He's actually my (ex)wife's best friend. I guess I didn't think of it, as I never watch the programme.

My sister used to share a house with Peter Eubanks, who was the only guy to have beaten Barry McGuinan until he lost his World Title. I used to babysit round there every Saturday for a couple of years, so got to know Peter fairly well. To a lesser extent his brother Simon, and they also had another brother who did pretty well in the boxing ring.

I only met Chris a couple of times, but my sister knows him well.

Bryan Clough barred me from his paper shop about 15 years ago, for having an ear ring. He was somewhat tipsy at the time, and his son came running out to apologise profusely.

I'm (distantly) related to Packie Bonner, apparently. I've never bothered tracing it, but apparently one of my cousins did during Italia 90.

I went to BHASVIC with Jamie Theakston and I have met the Proclaimers, Leslie Grantham and Pike from Dad's Army. I also had a piss next to Bobby Gillespie at a music festival. Now that is A list.

[Lord Bracknell]

A very, very long time ago ... I was a mate of the legendary drug smuggler, Howard Marks. I was witness to some of the events (but, I hasten to add, not most of the events) recorded in his book, Mr Nice.

And my eldest son is currently touring the US and Canada with Def Leppard. Does that count?
