Anyone met a famous celebrity and worth a post?

I take it old Red Rum wasn't cutting a ribbon or giving a speech to open this establishment.

He did actually try to bite the ribbon. I think it was supposed to fall in half, but Ginger McCain was standing by with a pair of scissors to do the honours.

I also recall seeing Alan Ball open a petrol station in Blackley not long after the 1966 World Cup. I don't remember him flaunting his medal, but I reckon he probably did.

I can't believe that great sporting heroes don't get invited to open local shops anymore.
 
Stuart hall a very decent bloke ? He’s a paedophile ?
I used to play 5 a side football at school but my school didn't have a big enough sports hasl so we played at Sids sports and leisure club in Stalybridge. Stuart Hall went there regularly at the time( late 70s) and he played 5 a side against my team. He tackled me hard and i fell over. He thought it was funny untill i tackled him and put him on his arse. Had I known he was a nonce I'd have stamped on his head, the kiddy fiddling ****.
 
Obama, when he was an IL politician. I was at a Chicago White Sox baseball game with my son and we left a little early because my son was small and the crush to get on the L is about 10x worse than Wembley Park.

Hurrying out of the stadium when I see Obama, with one bodyguard, going to speak to an old black fella in a wheelchair. We change direction and run over to him.

It was right when there was talk he was going to run for President. I tell my son, “Do you see this man, he’s going to be the first black President of the United States!” Obama turned to look at us, flashed a gleaming white grin, and we went on our way.

Other than that, Muhammad Ali, Gordon Brown (his son, Alistair is a Blue), the real Rainman (who carries his well-worn Oscar everywhere and will do his schtick for everyone), Blondie (the whole group), had a little chat with Shirley Manson (was with the whole band, Garbage) the morning after they’d played Saturday Night Live in NYC, LOTS of old City players (I used to go to training at Maine Road & Platt Lane as a kid), played against Kaz Deyna (San Diego Sockers) & Rodney Marsh (Tampa Bay Rowdies) here in the States, Ken & Peter Barnes (Ken was a mate of my Dad’s and Peter did a charity gig at our old pub), Denis Law (old mate of my Dad’s) and Freddie Pye (he’s my brother’s Godfather, and my bro is called Fred!) Gave me a ride in his PYE 1F Roller when he wanted me to play for Wigan! I went and had a game but I missed 2 sitters and a half chance and drove back in silence!). Quite a few more, but don’t want to be too twattish! Too late???!

Good memories, but I’ve always found that so-called “famous people” are just like you and me, some with perhaps a few airs and graces. Most are solid people who just happen to have made good through their own hard work or a stroke of good fortune.

Even though I’m sure it’s through blue-tinted specs, I thought the biggest twat was Bobby Charlton, who I saw push a kid away who was looking for an autograph and the kid ended up falling down a few stairs. Never batted an eyelid. Ran into him later in life at Manchester Airport with my Dad, who was friends with him, and he seemed the perfect gentleman!?!

My Dad could tell a few stories…he met a fair few people in his time, including the Kray Twins. Even now, I don’t repeat stories he told!!!

Sister worked as a dental nurse in Ashton , Stuart Hall was a mate of one of the dentist and would quite regularly visit . She said you could hear him entering the building where all the young dental nurses would run for cover . Said he was a proper lairy touchy feely bastard
 
Looked it up when I'd read a rumour on here. Loads of stuff online about him being a blue. Shame he acts like a spoilt rag ****.
My missus reckons that he was just pissed and would have rather been in the boozer. Might have caught him on a bad day mind you clowns are weird at the best of times.
