Who's got the most obscure?

My dad used to get a Christmas card off Sam Burns, ex manager of a British boxer called Tony Sibson.

Impressed me as a nipper.

To be fair Sam was also my dad's boss in his career away from boxing.
 
Are you sure the thread title is correct as your response suggests you know someone who has got a claim to fame ? Sorry if misunderstood, started on the booze early this weekend
 
when our kid first started out at Ladbrokes he came home from work quite excited about meeting keith harris dad :)

also,my grandad was a valet in a top London hotel,when he died we got all sorts of stuff, a pair of paul newmans red spats,charlie chaplin walkin sticks and also loads of Christmas cards from Charlie chaplin,amongst other stuff.
 
I know someone who claims to have "fingered" jenny Powel behind alty ice rink
Bloody hell only googled her about an hour ago as I couldn’t remember the name of the programme she did years ago on Telly, it was No Limits.

No worries, and quite possibly I have. I was basking in the glow of my dad's spurious claim to fame....
