got a few autographs after or at gigs/concerts. including but not limited to john peel, eddie izzard, petula clark.
Saw some city players in the wimpy in town once, including jobson, askew, and ray daniel. saw paul reaney of tws outside a chip shp in leeds.
was on hols in scotland with a friend and we reckon we saw peter falk and gene wilder in the river ness area (not together).
when hmv opened down whitefriargate, they had a later proper reopening when there was a queue all the way to a counter at the back here ed stewport stewart (there to officially open it) was handing out autographed photos. this must have been late 1977 because i went in to buy mull of kintyre and they weren't selling anything, just having people queue up to get a stewport photo and be ejected out the back door. so, sod it, i went and bought it somewhere else.
i have seen a shedload of bands, so obvs millions of famous people. i used to go to bestabel house behind the college where roland gift was a regular before he was famous, as someone already mentioned. don't remember talking to him but i saw him in a few bands.
kind of knew andy kershaw to talk to a bit in college days. he'd worked in hull one summer and recognised my accent.
mother got a load of autographs at city in the carter years. i remember once we were walking down this terrace and she said hello to a chap in a garden and he said hello. i asked who he was. raich carter.
know a bloke that played cricket for derbyshire. also my dad worked with a bloke who played for hull cc but his brother played for derbyshire.
