    There have been a few...

    My parents used to live in a nice area just outside Southampton called Warsash.

    Steve Claridge used to live 5 or 6 doors away!

    Next door neighbour was Kris Akabusi (runner). (When he sold his property, Gordon Strachan bought it).

    I sold Brett Ormerod's property (and was told by him he was going on loan to Leeds)

    Had a good chat with Strachan in Southampton Centre 10 years back and cheekily asked him if he would ever want to manage Leeds - He told me in no uncertain terms that it would be more trouble than it was worth! I was gutted

    I've had property dealings with Nicky Banger (ex Saints)

    Property dealings with Francis Benali

    Bumped into Shane Warne in a lift in my block. Penthouse owned by Hampshire ex cricketer Nic Pothas

    Prolly told you these ...

    My best mate at school's big brother, Brian Whittaker (RIP) used to play for Partick Thistle. I got invited to his engagement party & was thrilled to bits to be sitting at the players table. Problem is, I can't remember a thing about it. Got really pissed trying to keep up with them. If only we had mobile phones then. <wah>

    A mate I last saw nearly 40 years ago, Craig Fergusson, went on to be a comedian, then writer, movie actor & US tv talk show host. He recently packed it after donkeys years of success, & James Corden took over. In his absence, I fell out with him as one of my pinups at the time was Fiona Fullerton. He only lived with her for a while then dumped her, the barsteward! I resolved never to speak to him again after that. How could he???? <doh>

    Hate to tell you this publicly, matey, but they're actually fictional characters. Did you forget your meds that day? <whistle>
