If we were playing Top Trumps you'd win.

Pub crowd scene only though...the BBC had been giving us free beer until the pub shut and they started shooting...I think it went well!

I once had a drink with a drunken small claims lawyer.

I once drank beer until stupid o'clock on a weeknight with someone that was in Howards end.

I occasionally post on a forum that is frequented by people claiming fame in spurious ways.

I did. I had to remember the “more than 3 shakes” rule. The last thing I needed was a Premier League player watching me have a wank.

I sang as a choirboy with Take That on TOTP and their Nynex Arena dates on their last tour in Never Forget.

Joan Bakewell is my second cousin.

I had the same wedding photographer as russ abbot.

I smoked a spliff with comedian Reginald D Hunter. I don’t even like the drug. He was good company though.

My dad's uncle Ernie lived at 251 Menlove Avenue until it was sold to the National Trust. This was the house John Lennon lived in with his aunt Mimi in the 50's, 60's.

I was at a house party in mobberly and Jenny Powell was there with her boyfriend. I didn't finger her, though he may have done.

I delivered a range of Dominos Pizza starters to Nicholas Anelka, I didn't finger him though.

I was taught the "facts of life" in school by Fred Talbot. As far as I recall there was no fingering...

My nephew's wife's second cousin is Arlene Phillips (true)

I appear in one of the photos in the book "Caught Beneath the Landslide" about City. I'm celebrating with Gary Flitcroft after he scored at QPR. I'm the guy in the check shirt:

Sounds like somewhere Jimmy Saville or Rolf Harris would live

I used to work in an all-night petrol station in Beswick and one night Davy Jones (of the Monkees) came in to fill up his car. Apparently he was over from California to visit his mum who apparently lived somewhere nearby (Openshaw I think). It was about 1am on a weeknight and it just seemed surreal.

When I was a toddler I wee’d on Caroline Aherne’s Mum at my Mam+Dad’s house.
