Famous people that you have met

[JOHNNYAITCH]

I was going to request non-Vale only but it would be a shame to miss out on interesting tales of meeting Vale related people (players, staff etc)

 

David Soul..we had a "brief chat" in a pub in Carnaby Street

Bumped (literally) into Lemmy in the Intrepid Fox pub in London

Keith Baron (actor)

I'm hopeful others have met far more celebs and that they were far more interesting than my list.

Bob Taylor? Cricketer of footballer.or neither?

 

Bob played in the famous Ashes series of 1981 and is the holder of at least one world record. Has many interesting stories some of which are unrepeatable.

Despite his loyalties Nick Hancock seemed a decent type, helped with a charity auction, half music half football related, to try to save the Wheatsheaf music venue. He bought some stuff and gave it away. I don't think he bid for Jarvis Cockers undercrackers though.

Mintoff was the daughter of the Maltese PM at the time and was famous for throwing cow dung in the House of Commons.

Ian Brown , I was charged with looking after his drinks and keeping young girls off him.

Karen Brady I met several times, the first time her young baby had just vomited down her blouse.

I used to have some lovely get togethers with Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, Fred the Weatherman and Stuart Hall but not seen any of them for a while.

 

I used to share a house with Fred West and his lovely wife Rose when I lived in Gloucester but, again, not seen them for a while.

OK, let’s recap. We draw the gun from the holster, knock the safety catch off, there’s one in the chamber, and move and fire, and move and fire, and move and fire.
