    I was presented a trophy at a football festival in Great Yarmouth by Steve Potts when I was a kid.

    I also meet David Blunkett when he was Education Secretary at school.

    I never got to meet Dave Allen although he did appear here in Australia at some of my old haunts but I was unfortunately not there at the time. His real name was O'Mahony and he was married twice, divorced twice and had 4 kids. I believe that his second wife was Australian.

    Not that anyone believes you're in Texas but it only proves what a ****tard you are that you'd eat in a MaccieD's in Texas, surrounded by ****ing Steak Houses.

    Had a meeting with David Mellor - he was my MP
    Shared a train journey from Manchester to London (after a City match) with Andy Townsend who was playing for Weymouth we spent all the time talking about football. He said he'd trained with Sheffield Wednesday when Brian Marwood was there.
    Peter Grant - he came up to me during a sound check for Led Zeppelin at Newcastle City Hall. He said he'd been told I was from Hull and I didn't have a ticket (I'd been asking around) he said that his wife was from Hull (Hessle Road) and if we came to the stage door before the gig and told them who I was we'd be let in. We were told to sit on the steps right behind the stage that led up to some fancy organ. There was the audience, the band and then me and my girlfriend sat above and behind them.
    I was tripping on acid in Scarborough and in the bar before a gig we got chatting to some posh talking hippies. Eventually they said they had to go. We went out into the audience and the same guys walked on stage. It was the Edgar Broughton Band.
    I didn't talk to her but I was at Kings Cross station waiting for a train to a City match and somebody said "There's Princess Anne". I looked round and she walked past me about a foot away. There were a couple of guys who looked like bodyguards a few yards behind trying to keep up with her.

    I had lunch with Princess Anne once, she's a right laugh.

    Also had a night out with Barbera Windsor once, she got very pissed.

    I saw Babs Windsor at a promotion thing once. She's about three foot tall without that bee hive.

    I was really surprised when I met her, she's absolutely tiny(apart from her tits obviously).

    The Nice were playing in Hull City Hall back in the sixties, I got backstage because I knew the promoter. Met Keith Emerson and spent the rest of the day rolling his joints, he liked the way I did 'em.
