I was part of a succesful world record attempt.

I worked with Jimmy Case

I've interview Tommy from Groundforce, Vincent Pericard and Robin Cousins.

Wow indeed.

I sat in a dressing room at Ally Pally with Robbie Williams and Mark Owen for about 2 hours just shooting the shit.
Whilst off my gourd on a massive drug induced episode I met Jesus and the apostles...they were very down to earth.
Guy Butters and I are on nodding terms
Adam Virgo tried to buy my watch when he was on 10 k week at Celtic
Ian Hart once had me as his guest on the phone in
I met Peter Purves at keele services


What more do you need?

Some quite odd facts but not sure I'd say any were claims to fame ...

1/ My Mums cousin is Jean Boht (Ma Boswell from BREAD)
2/ Prince Phillip officially opened the changing rooms at Bracklesham when I was a player there - Hiney (NSC Moderator and BHA Programme Guru) was also in the same team !
3/ I once 'nutmegged' Alan Ball in a charity football match against Radio Victory - he was not best pleased and called me a 'cheeky runt' (I think...)
4/ Ray Crawford (Pompey, Colchester and England centre forward) scored 9 goals in a works match when at Bookers and I crossed all of them
5/ Alan Hudson lived round the corner from me when he was at Stoke.
6/ Bobby Davro bought me and a couple of friends a drink at a hotel (Palm Court) in Torquay as we said we'd go and see him at The Princess Theatre (but never went) :whistle:

My aunt used to nanny for Mrs Claus from Santa Claus the Movie (Judy Cornwall)

My dad once stopped and asked a couple for directions in some village in Sussex (not sure which); the wife was very nice and helpful, the husband was a miserable git. He was James Bolam

My mother's Cousin married Graham Hill's cousin. So somehow I'm related to ex- F1 Champion Damon Hill. Don't ask me what its called though Cousin once removed?

In the mid 80s Iwas playing snooker in the castle club ( off Preston Street ) when the guy on the
adjoining table accidentally nudged me as I was about to take my shot. Was just about to give him
an earfull when I realised it was one of my all time heroes Roger Daltrey.
I also sat next to George and Callum Best on a flight home from Faro.

I heard about this rock star who had sex with chickens in his dressing room. He wa Roger Poultry..(groan)

You must have been brought up in the same part of the world as me. I remember as a child finding out where Windsor Davies house was and knocking on his door hoping to get his autograph. His wife answered and rightly told me to piss off! Harry Secombe also lived locally as did David Bellamy.

Also, I once sat on Leslie Crowther's knee. If he was still alive, I'd be more than happy to make a statement to police telling them that there was nothing untoward about it, despite it being in the 70s.

Ok.... The rules are. It can't be "Oh Messi is my dad" etc, i'm talking about slightly wacky or indirect association with "famous" people or people of interest.

I'll start...... I went to college with the girl on the cover of the Saint Etienne album Foxbase Alpha.

This is very random but is true and before anyone starts largin it, it was just this!

When I was about 10 y/o my mate who is also an avid Brighton fan invited me round to stay over and by chance his family had a friend over as well who did in fact read us both a bed time story, his name was Justin fashanu! Gospel truth
