Opportunity

Saw John Barnes in the cinema in Liverpool a fortnight ago and bottled going over 😶

4 years ago I met Boris Becker at Heathrow. And I've been presented with a trophy by Martin Peters

Once gained access to the players box at WHL....met Keane, Jenas, Davenport, Gardner and Zokora. Had a 10 minute chat with them. Very nice they were. JJ impressed me the most, he was on crutches but made the effort to get up and come over and shake my hand. Got a photo taken by a 'bouncer' and they had their finger on the flash and it came out sheite

Not football related at all but I tell you who is an absolute gent, the chef Michel Roux Jr. I’ve met plenty of ‘celeb chefs’ through work and the vast majority of them are egotistical jumped up little muppets (James Martin and Gino Di Campo come to mind first) but Michel is passionate, engaging and really takes his time with people. I’ve actually met him twice, both times eating at his restaurant, Le Gavroche and just him actually being there is a refreshing change. Both times I was there he made a point of spending time with each table which I thought was a really nice and personal touch. He came over just as we were toasting our glasses “ahhhhh that is music to my ears” he said. Really nice guy.

I went to the Fat Duck and didn’t meet Heston but my mates went a few months later and met him in the pub he owns just nearby and they said he was a top bloke too, my mates own a small independent restaurant from start up so make a point of visiting restaurants as a learning exercise (excuse for a night out too) and he really spend times discussing menus and giving them tips.

I have met a few footballers, Le Saux, Osgood, Harris, Lampard, Terry, Cole, Sidwell, SWP, Bridge, Lampard Senior, Di Matteo. Celebs wise I met Tim Lovejoy and (not sure if this counts) David Mellor. Also had a good old chat tih Tommy Docherty, John Neal, Bruce Buck and a few others at a recent Chelsea do. I also knew Liz Hurley from before she was famous, I went to college with her sister and I went out with one of her mates, they shared their 18th.

There are a few others, saw Phil Daniels on the way home from a game once, slightly worse for wear, Jason Cundy, had a nice chat with him outside the old Highbury after a gooner game a couple of years ago, Kerry Dixon, used to see him a lot at away CL games. Cass Pennant and Sticky Turner (Cockney Rejects) I met at Rebellion in Blackpool last year, they were alright, not what I was expecting given all the grief we used to have with the old ICF.

not football related but we met Noel Edmonds at a party. absolute , took 1 look at us and stomped off in the opposite direction without saying a word. wasn't even a big party mind, only about 20 people

mate of mine also met Emma Watson at a party. apparently smug, conceited and so far up herself

yeah, it was at a mutual friend's house party. some years ago now but it did p1.s5 us off he couldn't bother to even try and be polite, and as i say it wasn't even a big party either

his daughter also went to my sister's primary school (not in the same yeargroup though). story goes that apparently his wife was strongly hinting she should be granted preferential treatment by the school on the basis of being married to Noel Edmonds
