Was looking through a photo album searching for old pictures of my grandparents and I found this one from 1979. I was a ballboy in the Australian Hardcourt Tennis Championships. This is Arge

I met Sean Gilder in a pub in Teddington, around 2005 - we were playing the Mancs (LFC not me and him). It was an early kick off and we were both waiting for the pub to open. Strangely - I wasn't drinking alcohol that day. I'd just broken up with my bitch ex, who'd taken most of my money; and he'd broken up with his missus as well.

 

After making sure he wasn't a Manc (he supports Notts Forest and talked about the 1970's rivalry) we had a good chat. He told me spoilers from Dr Who (he was the Xmas baddie and had a sword fight with the Doc). He said he was about to join Shameless and was really excited about that (about the time it was going down hill). We then talked about the lack of decent football movies and I said I really liked that Mike Bassett one. He then got really frustrated and said "I was in that"! I did a quick mental check and said - 'were you the annoying Martin Samuels type twat journalist?" and he was happy to say he was. Anyway, he wanted more beers but the post relationship conversation was a bit too much so I mad my excuses and left. Nice bloke, though, and great in Hornblower

Sort of met Henry Cooper a few years ago. I was at The Lord Mayors Charity Boxing Banquet in Birmingham with a few friends where we had a champagne reception, sit-down meal and then some local boxers had a few matches. Cooper and Britt Ekland were the guests of honour.

 

Anyway we got fairly pissed during the meal and were each given a pair of gloves that we could get signed by Cooper. The drill was that each table got up, queued up past the celebs at the top table and shook hands, said hello, got autographs etc. Anyway a friend tells me that he's getting Britt Ekland to sign his glove. I ask why, and he tells me that he'll get her to sign the palm and then use it to wank whilst watching The Wicker Man.

 

Unfortunately he was in front of me in the queue, so when I get to Henry Cooper I could see him in the corner of my eye, standing behind Britt Ekland and pretending to wank with a boxing glove. I get an uncontrollable fit of drunken giggles to the point where I couldn't speak to Cooper who probably now thinks I was one of the recipients of the charity rather than a guest

My mate went the Albert Hall about ten years ago, having a piss in the urinals and in walks Micheal Caine. He just starts doing loads of Micheal Caine impressions like "Zulus, bloody thousands of them", "we can go back and play the second arf" then "my name is Micheal Caine". Micheal Caine gets fed up, turns round with his knob out and goes in his loud cockney accent "NOW FAAACK OFF", zips op and walks off.
