I met George Best. Twice. Everyone else pales into insignificance.
The mention of Harry Gregg - in the late 1940's United had a star striker called Jack Rowley. He was a guest at my uncle and aunt's wedding, and helpfully held a bucket for my dad to throw up in.

Slight football connection. Whilst on the Peterborough to London train this morning we stopped at Huntingdon and i saw a guy leaning against a post on the platform... He was covered in mud and was completely pi**ed out of his face at 8.15am. Great big mop of curly hair and he staggered to the train carriage. On closer inspection he had mud all up his legs and on his jacket, mud and saliva on his face and was a complete stinking mucky wreck. It was the comedian Rory McGrath. Unbelieveable. Think he had spent the night sleeping on the St Ives pitch!!!!

Gaza if you have a cousin in Take That I have an uncle that saved every one of us.
I am related to Christopher Craig , dads cousin
Shared a flight with Andy Townsend
Spoke to Frank Carson in a hotel on holiday had to explain to the wife who he was, she was about to smack him in the mouth for being a perv.
Andrew Neil is wifes uncles best man.
Mates dad squared up to Geoff Capes because he would not do an autograph I was only 11 and still remember the natural instinct to run. My brother 20 years later then kicked him out of his school when a kids dad brought him up to tell him that he wasn't going to suspend his son.
Bumped into Teddy Sheringham, John Wark and Jammie Scowcroft at the races on different occasions.

Kenny 100% Gospel.
Whent backstage at MEN about 15 months ago met with our Mark and Jason briefly then spent the concert in VIP box with the rest of the family. Must say it's not really my cup of tea but really enjoyed the evening.
There was also a fire on stage between the warm up act and TT so we were held in the dining area with Sohie Ellis Baxter and her band so I supose thats another to add to the list.

Quite a list you got there go and it does read as hones and true , not like the poor Apolman has been coming out with Sorry Lenny , just pulling your leg Actually Apolman told a slight lie , it was a bottle of millers that Hartson bought him and not a pint Do we believe him ? if this was in court this is the sort of technical glitch that can throw a huge cloud of uncertainty over things John and I are consulting our lawyers. ;D
