My mate Dave and I posed as England cricketers,Angus Fraser and Warren Hegg to access a VIP room at a Perth nightclub,Warren got a shag.
Franny Lee bought me and my mates dad a bottle of Champagne at Ripon racecourse,we were mithering him and Roy my mates dad gave him a tip that came in at 13-2,he had a lot more on it than we did.
 
My second cousin is the drummer in The View.

I used to play table tennis against the father of the keyboard player for Snow Patrol.

I had a chat with Terry Butcher last year while we were both taking a piss, he had the classic line of "shit that's the seal broken", seemed a great guy though.

I found Samuel L Jackson's golf ball for him when he was in the rough at St Andrews during the Dunhill Links Championship a number of years back, he was also a nice guy!
 
My mate from schools dad and uncle were in The Fall for years

Ex gf of mine says Shaun wright Phillips lodged at there house for a bit when he was at the academy (not sure if that's bollocks or not tho)

Once had lunch in didsbury and Graham souness was dining there too a few tables away (when he was Blackburn manager)

Shook bert trautmans hand at villarrreal away last season after the game

That's about it lol
 
Some very interesting people on the thread and its nice to know abit about you all
 
Got talking to David Beckham in a bar in town when he was still with the rags and he seemed a nice lad, however, I can confirm Gary Neville is a **** with no sense of humour.
 
I shook Schmeichel's hand in Mulligans after they won the CL in 99, not as sign of congratulations, but to wipe the piss off my hand. I was just surprised he fell for it. I was then given the waggy finger from Keane's minders because I barged into him when he wouldn't move out of my way, (same piss up, same day, same boozer). He, (Keane), went on to beat up a women that night, the ****.
 
When my great grandad died, he was one of only 4 or 5 people who knew Harry Houdini's secrets. He invented a number of his cabanets and lock picks, he was his right hand man, his stooge and his plant on occasions. Bizzarly there is a film of him here helping Houdini prepaire for a stunt. His name was Jim Collins. He left his family and pissed of to America. never to be seen again...nice bloke!!! Collins is the chap in the waistcoat tying up Houdini's legs before a hoist took him up I presume.

The Duchess of Kent once told me I had a "funny name".

I also fobbed off the United squad when they were doing the rounds at Manchester Royal Children's Hospital by pulling the curtains around my bed and refusing to let them in to see me.
 
Had Linda lusardi lick squirty cream off my nipple whilst her husband (gay hairdresser in Brookside - apparently..) watched.

Turned down Chris Quinten's ( Gail Platts ex hubby) rough older sister who tried to seduce me when she was off her nut... Probably explains it.

Had a few of the girls from "take me out" back at a villa in Tenerife when they weren't filming their shit dates on the isle of fernando's. it wasn't my villa by the way, and I only watched..

Was in a lift with Paul malignaggi in the MGM after he was beaten by Hatton, was a bit pissed and was 'escorted' out by his big fucking minder before I reached the floor I was heading..

Had David Moyes reprimand me for allowing a couple of his team to play cards in my bar until 6am on one of their yearly trips to tenerife.

Paul scholes was a good mate until I fucked off abroad and he became a multimillionaire - also still mates with a few lower league players and a couple of pro boxers.

Probably a few more, but on the face of it I think it's fair to say that I'm not really in with the rich and famous..
 
Whilst working in a Hotel in St Ives I called Jill Dando Jan Dildo she wasn't impressed also went on to get her head blown off about 3 weeks later!

I made Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) some Sandwiches. No special sauce for her.
Funnily enough her career went downhill rapidly too.
 
The guy who played Screech in Saved by the Bell started on me and called me a douche while he was the DJ at a club in Liverpool.

Also my grandad was a youth player at city and was booting balls at a certain bert trautman to see whether he had any ability.
