Last year I was in Birkenheads hot spot - "The Cool Room" and I was walking past one of the tables. I saw an ex of my best mates she called me over and had a chat. I noticed there was another bev on the table and asked who she was with, she said she'd got talking to some lad. Couple secs later who walks over but Didi Hamman, fucking wasted. I said, "is this him?" She said yes I said "do you know who he is?" she went "think he plays for Liverpool or Tranmere reserves or summit!" Dozy bint! Shook the fellers hand and said to him "Nice one for helping us win the European Cup" His response was "It wasn't a problem!" Fucking priceless. So he went up and got us all a round in. Fucking legend.

[Guest davelfc]

Met Bob Paisley one morning at Anfield when I was a kid, trying to get all the autographs from the players. He signed my book but all he said to me was "why aren't you in school son" (I was recovering from Glandular fever) All of the other players were great, signed autographs and chatted. Phil Neal stuck out as the best of the lot. Took longer to chat and seemed interested in what you had to say, a real gent.

 

Have met loads of celebs on my travels and in my work. Posh spice stood behind me in the duty free at Miami Airport, she was on the same flight as me back to London, (the one were she had her bags nicked, no I didn't do it) Had a piss standing next to Les Dennis in a toilet in Singapore, went out to the table to tell the people I was with and noticed he was sitting behind me with his former wife, you know that slag. Anelka and statto on my plane from Heathrow to Manchester, statto was sat in front of me and he looks like he was bulied at school. they held the MTV latino music awards last year in the same hotel as we stayed in, Jay Lo, Shakira and Enrique Iglesias stood next to me in the lobby and by the pool, best part was the presenters and some of the dancers..... Loads more....

 

When I was a raf copper was stuck on my own on this gate in the middle of nowhere at the back of the base, dressed in my best uniform the queen was making a private visit to the station and as she passed in the rolls she gave me a nice wave, phil the twat hates RAF coppers and turned away.
