Brace yourself....

 

Under 10's back in 1985 I rounded the keeper and then he hauled me down, penno not given. I was irate, the keeper just laughed. The keeper was none other than Mark Kennedy..... the waster.

 

A Eurovision winner lived across the road from me.....

 

Bloke I sat beside in school was the Countdown Champion of all Champions, circa 1993.

 

Bam!

When I was a spotty lad of 15, during and after my GCSEs, I worked as a translator (not many Russian speakers about in Liverpool at the time) @ Euro 96 @ Anfield and Old Trafford - only got paid expenses, like, but free tickets to all the games in the North-West* (even those not involving Russia) and got to roam around the ground, press centre, press conferences and stuff - bumped into all sorts - Russian, Czech, Italian, Germans, Zidane, Cruyff, Hiddink, Sacchi, Hansen, Lynam... Did the Russian pre-match announcements on the pitch @ Old Trafford for Russia-Germany and a whole game @ Anfield - Russia-Czech Republic (from the gantry under the roof of the Main Stand). Shame Russia were so sh*te... again.

 

*had the offer of a final ticket as well but had to pay for it and I didn't have the 100 quid for the ticket and the train fare down to London.

Met and spoken with plenty of politicians over the years due to my job. Also once had a glass of wine and a chat with Zeinab Badawi - very nice she was too.

 

As a teenager, I knew Jamie Hince of The Kills (although more famous now for being Kate Moss' boyfriend).

 

Most memorable encounter from childhood was being at Newbury races with my grandad when we came across Kevin Keegan, Alan Ball and Mick Channon watching the horses. My grandad spoke to them as if he'd known them for years, which impressed me no end. I remember thinking that, although I was only 8 or 9 years old, Alan Ball wasn't much taller than me.

My Mums Great Uncle- So my Great Uncle was the chairman of leeds Untited. His name was Sam and he was the geezer that sacked Brian Clough at Leeds. Also His wife was friends with the Queen and sat beside her kissing the players at all the FA cup finals at Wembely.

 

For some reason when I was younger up until I was about 15 I used to lie and say my Grandad was the Krays right hand man, Dunno why.

I was an extra in the porno flick "Casa Rosso" with Helen Duval and Sibel Kekilli. The movie was shot in Amsterdam in 2002. We met Sibel in Hillstreet Blues on the off chance the Saturday night and by pure chance we were asked to be in the movie on the Sunday morning.

 

I didn't know who Sibel was when we first met and when she walked in to The Bananen bar Sunday morning to do the scene l almost had a stroke!! Helen Duval wasn't in the scene but was there and for an older chicken, she was off the bone!!

Casa Rosso (2002) (V)

 

 

Sibel is now a mainstream actress so to say I got to suck her tits and grope her outstanding ring piece is claim to fame enough for me! I have the movie on tape and to this day, when I watch it I still can't believe it is me I'm looking at...
