I met One Direction and Paige from the X Factor when I was working in Aberdeen

I often watch sunday league matches and stand next to Paul Lawrie (Scottish Golfer).

I met John Locke from Lost when I was in Belgium - he had a lady friend with him so just got a nod and a wink.

Met several of the Aberdeen squad too many times to think of.

Saw Leon Best at Sainsbury's in Pont the other week.

My gran once found muhammad alis kid lost in an airport and seconds after met the man himself

 

Once helped Russel Hoult (former West Brom keeper) move a TV. It was one of the old big backed ones and weighed a tonne. His girlfriend lived in the flat below me.

 

I played one season with a non-league side called Chesham Utd.... our manager was only Luther Blisset!

Oh and Harvey from So Solid Crew played centre mid with me for a couple of games but he never really turned up!

Apart from that I've met the Force India drivers (Sutil and Liuzzi) as we do the audit for Force India, Lawrence Dallaglio at the Wasps bar, and years ago Nigel Winterburn at a schools cross-country meet 'cos I was racing against his lad!

 

Parked outside Joey Bartons house before a match without realising and then he came out and we had a quick chat before we both left for the match.

Also, my mums talked to Keegan over the phone..

 

Once passed Keegan on the way to the metro centre on the morning of a match in about 95 first day of the season 2 beat Coventry 3-0.

I saw Olivier Bernard out in Whitley Bay one night, the sly dog managed to pull as well.

Also saw Boumsong in HMV, he was browsing the classical music section with his wife and kid. I remember him looking rather dapper and wearing a top hat.

Oh yeah, and finally, one of my mates works in Sports Direct and apparently Michael Owen walked in one day wanting some cheap shorts.

 

Surprised he knows what they look like
