When I lived in the leafy suburbs of Ipswich, I was strolling home from school one day, when I looked up and saw the then manager of Ipswich Town (George Burley) walking towards me with his dog. He was smiling, so I can only assume he was thinking I would ask for an autograph...he was wrong.

Played football for the Brookside celebrity team.

I have had a brew in the house in Bread

Alex Higgins used to come in my local.

The guy who played DI Gene Hunt bought our kid 200 duty frees because he cadged that many from him whilst filming Life on Mars.

We got a police escort out of Skegness with a City player on the coach.

[Manchester la la la la]

I sold Super Kevin Horlock a very expensive Chandelier while he was at City.....really nice bloke.

I gave Peter Richardson (Comic Strip Presents) a lift to Euston Station while working in London Village.

My Cousin works on Corrie and "Carla/Mrs. Block" came to his 50th birthday.........I spent most of the evening standing as close as I could to her so as to facilitate the smelling of her wonderful scent............she really is tiny and as fit as fook! Her boyfriend/date for the night was a proper skanky fooker!

Rasc's Pogues one has just reminded me (because Shane Magowan was drinking in the Hotel bar that night) that I once stayed with some mates in the suite at the Clarence Hotel in Dublin and we all saw Kate Moss and Sadie Frost at reception complaining that we had taken their usual room.

As you can imagine, we fucking loved that. We talked of little else for the rest of the weekend.

 

[Chev Chelios]

I once did security for Jason Donovan

 

[Blue Punter]

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..

Do you still live in Tenerife mate? Ever watch City at the Blue Terrace in LC?

No, moved back in 2005 after 10 years out there mate. I still get over there 7-8 times a year and have a few pals still there. Plenty of blues as well, been in the Blue Terrace a couple of times. You might know a lad called Simon Smith, does the timeshare in LC and drinks in there on match days. A couple of the bookies out there are blues as well - we're pretty well represented on Fernando's. :-)

Mentioning the Blue Terrace reminded me of an encounter with Eric Bristow. A load of Tenerife blues had been watching the 4-3 derby (Owen last minute) in the B.T. To forget about the game, we all got absoloutely rat arsed. Across the road (Summer Nights I think), Bristow & John Lowe were doing an exhibition. We knew all the lads playing them, so was stood around the oche. I was taking pics of my mate holding his son & the Darts trophies up, when Bristow shouted, "can we get these wankers off the oche"?

I grabbed the mic, called him potty mouth and told him to watch his language as there was kids about. Quite a few people cheered me on.
