My economics teacher was Timothy O'Leary and he claimed to be David's cousin - kept on at me to get tickets for the 97 cup game with Arsenal though - never did explain why David wouldn't give him some.

I was ballboy at the Goldstone for a game against Cardiff that was on MOTD - never saw me though as they only showed the goal which was down the South end.

I've been to Center Parcs 3 times and have won the snooker comp twice and the pool tournament the other time.

I've played The Great Egg Race at a corporate do with Prof. Heinz Wolff refereeing

I've successfully landed in a flight simulator 3 times and was recommended to take up flying

I had goals scored against me in 5 a side by all the great Langney Sports players - Nigel Hole, Mick Green (Even Steve Dell, the goalie scored!) etc - saved a few as well

4........I pointed out to Seve Ballesteros where in the lake his ball finished up after a wayward drive at the European Open at East Sussex National.
I was one of the course Marshalls, and was also lucky enough to witness Nick Faldo lose a ball in the stream(He was world no.1 at the time and NEVER lost a ball)..............the ball is now in my possession and has his name stamped on it..........must be pretty rare.

My Dad used to cut Peter Bonetti's hair.

I once served Keith Chegwyn when working at Chessington World of Adventrues. He asked me to give him a prize even though he hadn't won and told him no to which he used the age old z-list comment.

"Do you know who I am?"

Keith Chegwin bought me drinks & gave me a fag at the Brighton Centre once. Maggie Philbean was with us too. Bit before they split, became anti smoking & Cheggers gave up drinking.
