Famous people you've met.

[Acid]

Konchesky in a coffee shop in Allerton. He parked up in his Overfinch Range Rover, in the bus stop, and walking past the window my sister says 'He looks like a footballer!' 'Well yea, thats Paul Konchesky.'

 

Got a picture with him and asked if he was playing the next night, half way across Europe, hes getting six coffee's, the rest of the squad was getting on a plane. He reminded me he was injured. Fair enough, I don't tend to keep up on injuries of shit players.

[Mendoza]

Mani

Bonehead

Rick Witter

Eric Bristow

Pete Waterman

[Jennings]

I met Dave Usher outside a sports ground. He was selling the big issue I think.

Totally obsessed with his A-list status.

[withnail71]

Mani used to live in an ex council house by me when he was in the roses, i kid you not. he had a little lad with my cousin, and he looks just like him now lol ! he would come home from touring and we would go poaching for salmon. he is a fucking nutter.

[King Emlyn]

Tesco in Allerton Road by any chance?

 

I used to be mates with Alan Bleasdale's son and used to go round to his massive house in Mossley Hill as a teenager. Met Robert Lindsay and more impressively Elvis Costello, who i always assumed would be tiny, but was in fact enormous (and before anyone starts sniggering, i'm not talking about his cock). Top fella, is Elvis, but ironically Robert Lindsay was a bell end.

Yep, all except Garcia (Sainsburys near Old Swan) and Hamman (Tescos Express Moreton)

Are you a paparazzi?

[King Emlyn]

Are you a paparazzi?

It's strange, and I've never seen one Everton player.

You deffo are a paparazzi then!

[Duff Man]

Loving that Hartnett story. Proper sound of him to do that.

[WaltonRed]

They shop in Netto, Gt Homer street thAts why

I saw Pienaar in the Allerton Road Tesco. By the looks of his wife he likes the big ladies.

That was Bill in a dress, those cigars do not pay for themselves you know.

I met the same celebrity in the same location. He gave me a book and mocked me for carrying a loaf of bread.

 

True story.

[Furmedge]

I saw Dave U in Ormskirk Morrisons. I was about to say hello but as I walked over I saw him swapping price stickers over to get cheaper crab sticks.

 

They say never meet your heroes.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I was on a train a while back, bitching to my mate about my headache. Fortunately, John Conteh was sat opposite us and he gave me a couple of Panadol. (Mind you, he was also reading the *** - and I was too much of a shithouse to have words with the Champ about it.)

That's nowt mate. You should see the liberties he takes with the 'take a penny, leave a penny' tray in Maghull Shell.

 

I once saw him get a boost duo for only 12p.

[Lucky Pierre]

I saw Pienaar in the Allerton Road Tesco. By the looks of his wife he likes the big ladies.

When was this? Only asking as he was having it off with a cousin about 18 months ago.

[Redder Lurtz]

I got well and truly lashed with Captain Sensible in a pub called the Spiders Web in Grimsby in 1995. Proper top bloke, paid for the beers all night too.

 

Had a chinese with Lionel Blair in a shopping centre food court in Hull. That was fucking surreal. Again, really nice bloke though.

 

Met Jeff Winter at breakfast in the Sheffield Hilton. Think I've mentioned before on here that I told him he was less of a twat now he was away from the f**tie pitch and just on the radio occasionally, he laughed and said "that's not hard". Few months later I heard him tell the conversation on TalkShite radio. I am an anecdote. Later the same night I rang in and won tickets for the home leg of the Barca tie where I bumped into Kelly Dalglish (we lost to a Gudjohnsen goal but went through after winning 2-0 at theirs).

 

Worked with Chris Helme from the Seahorses at Defra in York for a bit.

 

Levi Roots was in my work a few weeks ago. Miserable bastard. He had a steel drum with him, I told him one of my colleagues' girlfriend is in a steel band. He couldn't have been less interested. For the record his name is Keith and a few years ago he did 6 months for assulting a copper. Now look at him, the jammy fuck.

 

Have met one or two others too, can't remember who at the moment though.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Met a lot of the England cricket team and Graeme Swann got the whole team on tour in Sri Lanka to sign an autograph book for my birthday, the massive legend.

Viv Anderson

Shane Meadows

Judge Jules

[kopboy11]

Kevin Spacey in a boozer in Dublin.Roger Sanchez in a restaurant in Ibiza.Jim Kerr in Sicilly.Mel Gibson on the set of Braveheart(my uncle was working on it).

[Sparky]

I've been in a limousine with Bill Oddie.

 

I suppose I should elaborate. There was a competition to open the local Sea Life Centre for the most deserving local kid, and my brother won it because he'd had diabetes the previous christmas and missed a skiing trip or some shit like that.

 

Anyway, they'd promised that Really Wild Bunch superstar Terry Nutkins would be coming to open it, but Nutkins must have decided he was too big for this gig, what with all of his other important commitments, and reneged on the deal, sending a Terry Nutkins video as consolation.

 

Instead, they sent Bill Oddie in a limousine to our house to pick us up and take us to the Sea Life Centre (ironically it would have been quicker to walk given the proximity of the place and the one way road system outside our house at the time). He was a good ship. I was only about 10 so the only Goodies I was interested in was free sweets.

 

I think I know who's winning.

[Red '84]

far too many ff references in this thread, standards are slipping over here!

I tried to talk to that guy once, but he had all his 'hangers on' around him, and such. His bodyguards and assistants.

 

Big head.

[CrouchieBoy]

I shook Dave Matthews' hand before he went on stage once. Offered him a beer too.

 

Shocking I know

 

Have also met loads of Seattle Seahawks, but I worked for them so it doesn't count

[Alan Sex]

Axl Rose after a show back in '87 just before they really took off. Had a drunk chat for about 20 mins.
