I guess he must have been desperate to talk to just about anyone having been incarcerated so long?
Is it PotG?

McCarthy, Park.....did he give you a recipe for a cake?
Price was always in the Middle Street bar, the Berlin Bar (formerly Heneky's) in the mid 1990's, always with a Gladiator.
As with Eubank, Gunnell, Zoe Ball and Norman Cook, I've been in pubs, supermarkets and all the usual places in Brighton to Shoreham, many times.
Sounds like most other Brightonians posting here, have too.
Nothing special.

An attention seeking mate promised to arrange a MEAT, but unsurprisingly let me DOWN

That is an encounter I would pay good money to have seen. Was Stacia still with Del Dettmar (Hawkwind synth player for those what don't know) or had she embarked on her long term project to make teenage boys aware of what their meat and two veg were for?

I remember the posters for REM at the Carioca ... I didn't go because I had no idea who they were!

They were a rock band based in Texas.
They were supporting Cheap Trick and Asia at the Summit Houston and one of my main reasons for attending - I was late for their act but I went to the nightclub after the show but got there as it was closing.
Axe were in this stretch limo in the car park and I had a conversation with them. They invited me to their hotel for God knows what sort of party but I declined as I was staying with a female friend living locally.

I thought this was about sportspeople in unlikely places but if you're talking celebrities, the most bizarre encounter I've had was in a Chinese restaurant in Chiswick. It was my then girlfriend's birthday and we'd been out having a few drinks and hadn't bothered to book anywhere. We turned up at the restaurant which wasn't exactly heaving, there was just one table occupied.
We sat down and then realised the group at the other table included Jimmy Ruffin. What's more: he overheard us talking about my girlfriend's birthday and came over to sing a song for her - it was all rather embarrassing.

Carl Griffiths (yes that one from Orient) on holiday in Cyprus for a week
Peter Hook at the gym once or twice a week, remarkably good shape for a bloke in his 60's.
The Nolan Sisters on Breakfast TV, along with Brian and Michael (Matchstick Men and Dogs Number 1).
Johnny Marr at a party for an evening.
Morrissey in HMV in Manchester
Gary Numan asked me where to find a decent kebab
Robbie Savage on the train back from London to Manchester, he borrowed my phone charger.
Have taught Tony Adams, Glenn Roeder, Ashley Giles, Dieter Hamann, Steve Maclaren, Tony Mowbray, Lee Carsley, Paul Hart and quite a few others

That's a long way to go for a gig! No wonder they invited you to their party
Haha.
I was over there on holiday at the time meeting up with friends I'd met in Saudi Arabia.
Does Hookie look too serious to chat with about his music?

Was introduced to Rick Wakeman last night in our local by a friend who knows him. Staying in area for a few days.
