Probably, but that ain’t saying much. I was a session musician mostly. But lots of stand in work always came along. Normally when somebody’s guitarist was seeing things that weren’t necessarily real!... But, yeah, I’ve played with a lot of names from those days.
Nailed a stunning model who goes all over the world for photoshoots, she's quite well known. Winning the golden boot and breaking 2 of the league records in my first season back after 10 years. Being a decent Dad.
I once pissed off the lead singer of 1980s group Bronski Beat (Jimmy Somerville) by saying I had no idea who he was. My photo was in the NME in October 1993 from an anti BNP demo. The first photo shows me being a peaceful steward at the front of the demo with a **** load of heavily armed robocoppers straining at their leashes and the 2nd shows me laying unconscious, face down after the ****ers baton charged us I gave Ray Parlour a plaster after his little girl cut her knee on a beach in Portugal...I had a spurs t-shirt on and after his Mrs took his daughters in the sea I went to ask him for a signature for a woman I worked with who was a big gooner fan. He looked nervous at first ... think he thought I was gonna be ****ty to him in front of his kids but was nice as when he saw I was being friendly.
Yeah...happen in the London Borough I live in. Was the 3rd racist murder in 2 yrs at the time and all 3 were school kids. Local community were lied about (**** about wall of silence and claims that white people didn't care) but the truth was that the majority hated the racism and the violence which is what forced the BNP out in the end.
Only one i will say is, 'i once shot at a leading memnber off a leading member off PIRA car, and he got collared after he crashed.
I made myself look a **** in front of Cheryl Cole whilst setting up a stage for a gig they were doing in MK, had a proper Stan and Wendy from South Park moment. I also knocked Aiselyne Horgan on her arse once. We were both walking down Oxford Street in London, and we were both texting on our phones and we walked in to each other, but obviously me being a 15 stone guy and her being a 8 stone chick, she fell on her arse, and I helped her up and apologised. She was in some series or other of Big Brother please log in to view this image
Alas No. Never shagged a celebrity. I did use my mates celebrity-dom (is that a word) to score some of his cast off poontang a few times though
Sat on the train from Huddersfield to Sheffield and Michel Portillo and his Camera crew come n sit next to me..was filming his 'Great British Train Journeys' was quite a scene to see a posh gay famous politician chilling with a Homie from the hood...we chatted about allsorts e.g the weather
Got nominated for best council refurbishment in London a few years back. Dull I know, but it was quite prestigious with the awards evening at the London Guildhall. As a student I used to be in a band which warmed up for Neville Staple, Akala and The Saturdays. Used to go to school with one one of the leaders of National Action who are the only non Islamic terrorism group banned in the UK. They keep appearing on TV. Met Chris Eubank down the lanes in Brighton as a kid in the nineties and he said if he saw me again he'd buy me a car! Was in a que to get a hire car in Barcelona a few back back behind Terry Venables! He was not a happy man as we waited ages and people (me) were trying to take sly pictures of him. Played on Fratton Park prior to Portsmouth playing in the nineties with the fans there. Did Eddie Newton Soccer Skills in the nineties and got in the local rag. Been in the local for charity work too. Only minor stuff really.
