Does STFC's very own Shaun Skinner count as a celeb?
Far too many from the footballing world to mention, especially Forest, although did meet Brian Clough twice, the first time I asked for an autograph and he invited me in to his office, and the second I asked for an autograph for a friend and he told me to fook off!
Met Graham Taylor when he was Wolves manager, I was doing work experience with the Adver back in 95 and went with the journo to Wolves v Swindon game, last game of the 94/95 season I think, and we had a brief discussion afterwards, he was a tad dull though!
I seem to recall Kris Akabussi coming to New College too for some reason around 94/95 time?
Once saw Roy Keane smacked outside a Nottingham nightclub for being a mouthy cnut.
Also once saw Prince Naseem Ahmed get refused entry to a Nottingham nightclub for wearing jeans, despite his "do you know how I am" tirade.
Recently saw Les Dennis and family at a light steam railway in Skipton, met him before though about 15 years ago at Central TV in Nottingham, he was in the canteen with Jim Bowen, and Freddie Starr walked in and started verbally ripping in to Dennis and Bowen verbally like you've never seen before. Those two did not know where the hell to put themselves.
Randomly bumped in to Anthony Daniels (C3PO actor) in a hotel in Disney World, Florida. He was there for the Star Wars weekends they hold every year, and normally you have to queue up just to get a pass to get a chance to meet him, not me though, a picture later and I took great pride in telling those nerdy Yanks who had been disappointed that they couldn't meet him that I already had, and that I'd been on the new Star Wars 3D ride before it had opened!
