Living in Crawley during the 80's it was pretty easy to bump into either Alan Minter or Daley Thompson.

My biggest claim to fame has to be the day I sold an ice cream to Mary Decker, the then Darling of American middle distance running, that Zola Budd tripped up during the the 84 LA Olympics. She came into the Three Bridges Newsagents I worked in when I was about 15. She had married a local chap only a few months earlier.

Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1980...3 of his sons since....Damian, Stephen and Ky-mani....

Hearing Stephen on stage is almost like hearing Bob.

Very envious of this!!
Was listening to SM’s Mind Control album on the way in this morning on the train.

I managed to brush against Gabby Logans left tit at Highbury about 10 years ago whilst slightly pissed in the hospitality area

A few from work –
Abby Clancy – Sold Car – Unbelievably gorgeous, she came back 3 weeks later with her Mum to buy the exact same car and her Mum is equally as hot!
Carlo Ancelotti – Sold Car – Nice guy, in fact most of the Chelsea team of that era and the WAGS were buying cars from me
Chris Eagles – Sold Car – Biggest :wanker: ever!
Ellie Goulding – Tried to buy car – Stuck up cow
Ronnie Corbett – Sold Car – Nice guy, Tiny!
Elaine Paige – Sold Car – Lovely lady

Most famous would be meeting Queenie at Buck Palace but most memorable for me was Bobby Gillespie. Spent half hour in chillout room of Zap Club drunkenly discussing the change of direction with new album Screamadelica. :rave:
 






H M The Queen at the South of England Show.
:vuvu::vuvu:

1984 as I recall, she waved at me I think. She seemed to spend the day going round the site on standing in a sort of popemobile landrover thing. In fact we saw her so often that day we got a bit blase about it.

Also Mark Williams at Drusilla's with his family and shook hands with Leslie Crowther when I was about 4.
 


President Kennedy -- I was 5 at the time.
Middleweight world champion Marvelous Martin Hagler.
Yo-Yo Ma.

Not Yo-Yo Ma the famous French/American Cellist of Chinese extraction surely! My daughter's Cello teacher keeps mentioning him.
