I drank Matt Priors, Luke Wright and Graeme Napiers champagne cocktails while they were outside smoking.

I then got mistaken for Stuart Broad getting in to a taxi and signed an autograph.

Bought a VW Golf back in 2001 from a bloke who presented (presents?) on QVC, Charlie someone....

Went to same school as bloke from Lynx and Trainline ads who I'm sure is an Albion fan, poss STH.

Shook hands and had a chat with Sid from CBeebies in NS concourse, nice bloke.

Also, went to same school as Robert K....?! Who played Shaun in Eastenders, shared a swimming pool in Dubai with Robbie Keane whilst in honeymoon and Roy Keane was also there but he was a moody wotsit!

My Grandad led the British Navy out or port on D-Day and then led the dummy landing to fool the Germans. He then led Eisenhower round the troops. Very proud of that.

I once had a bit of snog with Suzi Quatro's daughter, and I've been out on the lash with Paul Gascgoigne in his Kettering days :)

In the mid 80s Iwas playing snooker in the castle club ( off Preston Street ) when the guy on the
adjoining table accidentally nudged me as I was about to take my shot. Was just about to give him
an earfull when I realised it was one of my all time heroes Roger Daltrey.
I also sat next to George and Callum Best on a flight home from Faro.

My brother has Andy Gibbs ( Bee Gees younger brother) train set and 125cc Motorbike, I bought a car off the Bee Gees father and my brother went to school with their niece. All pre Saturday Night Fever when they all lived in Ibiza.

I was there when Phil Lynott was dragged off stage, as he was completely out of it, during a stint with the house band in an Ibiza night club. The guy who owned it - The Playboy now owns Space.
