Spurious Claim to Fame

[Stoned Rose]

Actually knocked about with her when her family had the Kingsway Pub, prime beef!

Even aged 7 I cheekily thought "would smash" as we played "catch the girls kiss the girls" in the playground.

Was gutted when she left.

When he was over a putt in the 1978 Manchester Open, I was told to "be quiet" by Tony Jacklin (I was only 9)

My mum grew up round the corner from Emlyn Hughes in Barrow and they used to play Tin Can Lurky in the evenings.

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

I DJ’d at what was probably Nigeria’s first ever (and possibly only) beach rave in 1999.

I nutmegged Nicky Butt in a school yard game of football, before unleashing a 20 yard rocket into the top corner (well...would have been top corner if there had been posts and a crossbar, rather than jumpers)

Recently found out Amanda Holden is a distant second cousin.

Played cricket on the same team as Derek Jeffries (decent left handed opener) and also with Mike Atherton’s brother as a youngster.

In 1998 me and some of my mates sat on the same Chai mat as Richard Gere after a full moon party in Goa, India. He was dressed all in White and cross legged staring at the rising sun - weird night all round

When I was a kid, my best friend's dad mended Stuart Hall's clocks and I once met Ilya Nastasi in a lift.

Funny you should mention Stuart Hall.

My best mate at school never spoke of his dad but Stuart was in various pictures in the house.

Wished I'd have asked him (the lad) about it now especially as he used to come to games with me in our teens, often wondered in later life what the connection was.

Had sweet Lovings with one of the girls who played Susan Barlow when I was much much younger.

"Sweet lovings"?! are you a Vietnamese sex worker?
