Most of us have some tedious link lurking in the closet to the celebrity.

Rules are simple...

From the post above simply link it to some sort of famous person that you have buggered, met, drank with or headbutted etc....

It has to be someone at least modestly famous that we have all herd of.

The closer the link the better....

I'll start the ball of with...

I once drank with ex-Sheffield, Everton and Pompey defender Carl Tiler who was plastered and ended up screwing a mate (female) at her parents house.  Apparently crap performance.

had Brian Connelly take me on stage in one of his performances while i was in blackpool (its only a puppet!!) i was like 4..

Met Bart Griemink walking down calne town centre drunk on a friday night.

Spoke to Paolo Di Canio when i was a ballboy.  8)

don't know if they really count, but there famous maybe...

i went to kevin horlock's house once. he presented the awards at my football teams presentation awards and for some reason (i cant remember why) me, my dad and my brother went round his house one afternoon afterwards. he was a top bloke

I stared the black bird in Liberty X out once at a vip do.  True story.

Jimmy Quinn and my Gramp had the same local....

My Dad worked at the club so I knew most of the players from the mid 90s pesonallyish,

Closet now, is I work with Matty Heywoods future brother in law....

When I lived with a bird in London, her sister was living with a dude called Maynard Williams, who was the UK eurovision entrant for some god foresaken year....think he got nil point.

     Maynard's pop was Bill Maynard famous at the time for Selwyn Froggett, and later as  Greengrass in Heartbeat.

  When visiting one time, Bill turns up having been to watch Ajax play armed with duty free....his mate was Ray Clarke ex of STFC who he knew from Spurs, who went on to be the only Englishman to finish top scorer in Erie Divisie.......so we got ratted and rabbited about football.

 The bird who was high quality, had a taste for charlie and black men, and left me to live with a rasta man in Antigua  :(

 Mex will own this thread.

My brother was on stage at Sootys Discos at the Octogan theatre Yeovil and cried when Mathew Corbet asked him to move from the edge of the stage 8)

hee hee, this thread reminds me of the time where my mate grabbed Grandmaster Flashs' arm and wouldn't let go! He was going on for days how he touched the legend!

oooh, i forgot we (ie. me and my mates) met pritchard from dirty sanchez in newquay last summer. everyone on the beach at 4am was plastered shouting 'pritchard's fuckin' mental'. then we walked up the steps with us around 5ish and we (ie. me, pritch, pritch's mate and my mate) were singing songs about peter thorne. delightful times

I saw paul daniels and debbie mcghee driving round the m25  8)

spoke to the lead singer of the band "seafood" on the london underground to

She's alot nicer in real life, kinda of like charlotte from ash, nice rock chick. both at the same gig, lovely stuff  8)

she's the only blonde indie chick I can think of, but she's ace :D

I once dreamt I was married to Charlotte Hatherley  :shock:

When I was a policeman in Hampstead early 80's asked some scruffy oink who came in with a producer to take his motorcyle helmet off in the police station.  Turns out it was Sting having been reported for speeding.  Laughed when I said I'd go public on how old he really was!

Reported an accident for Bernie Winters (Mike and Bernie Winters - Reg will remember how crap they were) outside the King William pub in Hampstead.

Once took a slide on some pristine snow in full uniform one quiet Sunday morn outside the house of Michael Foot (ex Labour leader)  only to see his wife glower as she collected the milk.  Compunded when my American wife asked her who she was when she came to collect some dry cleaning from the shop that my wife was working at.  Mind you, she also failed to recognise Babs (Robert Powells (aka Jesus) wife, ex Pans People), Jeremy Irons and, worst of all, Arthur English, because she was a real 'Are you being served' fan.

Bernie Winters has to be my favourite so far.  Was Snorbitz there?

I've also met Pritchard who lives just a few minutes away from me, top bloke.

Don't think I've met any A-list stars but some are pretty famous if you're into certain types of music.

I've met Mc Dynamite http://www.karantanija.com/images/dji/mcdynamite.jpg who's one of the best drum and bass MC's in the world and a mate of mine pulled MC Tali who did "Lyric on my lip" which went top 40 last year.

Have met the DJ High Contrast a few times who's an absolute legend, safe as fuck http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/gallery/drumbass/highcontrast/7.jpg



Jimmy Quinn coached me for football a couple of times.

A mate of mine has supported DJ Nicky Blackmarket ( http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/interviews/interview4.html ) a few times and knows him well and I've met most of the glc. Another DJ Technical Itch is my mates uncle.

Can't think of any others.

you wont have heard of him but i went to school with luke portman who we discovered a month after he emigrated to australia that he was no.1 in sky magazine (the lads mag) richest british teenagers. worth £140m i think as he was due to inherit half of a fancy london borough (can't remember which). he seemed really normal.

sold richard branson a ticket for lord of the rings when working at odeon.

waved to ian atkins as i drove past the kassam on my way home from work (only a slight detour).

 :shock:

what a cunt

Opened a lift door in a posh hotel in Chicago about 10 years ago to be confronted by Lloyd Bridges. I froze ! He said 'Going up ?'. I said 'I'll wait for the next one'.

NMH

Played cricket against Paul Adams, have gotten lashed with the SA Cricket Team, Ernie Els is a family friend, and Hansie Cronje used to live next door to me!

Did you get some man love afterwards?

Sadly, no.

But I did meet the man who wrote Delilah for Tom Jones on a train from Wigan.

Spent half an hour bowling at Nasser Hussain at uni and was firends with Jack Russell when he was about 9. Shook Jimmy White's hand. Stood behind Patrick Viera in the queue at Virgin in Heathrow. Met Ian Rush in a hotel bar in Liverpool.

...all pretty minor brushes with fame really.

When I was a young'un I worked part time as a waiter at a hotel (forget the name of it) near Westonburt Arboretum.

Anyway Prince Charles was putting on a dinner there one night for loads of rich people to raise money for the Prince's Trust. Don't know if many of you will remember but that same day he broke his arm/wrist playing polo so he couldn't make it.

The dinner went ahead anyway and I got the pleasure of serving the likes of Richard Branson (arrogant cunt) and Michael Caine. Also an Arab guy called Ravi Tikoo (don't know the correct spelling) who, at the time was the richest bloke in the world.

The highlight was Michael Caine asking me if I'd seen his daughter who was staying in the hotel. I then walked him through to the restaurant where all the 'normal' people (and his daughter) were eating. Got some quite shocked looks!

The lowlight was serving Caine's veg for the meal (it was silver service, spoon and fork stuff) and proceeded to drop carrots in his lap  :oops:  His wife is an absolute sort though.

Oh, and Garry Mabutt taught me all I know on a football pitch  8)

My ex loved charlene fetari (spelt wrong) from texas so my cousin who works at abbey road studios organised us three back stage passes, we met her and my cousin introduced me as her biggest fan, she shook my hand and I did teh bloke thing of kissing on teh cheek to get a reply from her of 'for fucks sake chris (my cousin) your cousins a sex pest' she then pushed me away and would sign me an autograph or have her pic taken with me.  She did however do that for teh mrs and gave her some top of hers or something, I cant really remember much as I was sat in teh corner.

Think it explains why I dont kiss girls on teh cheek when I meet them now!

Last summer I drank with teh main person in teh book naughty forty but think thats for another thread......

- Tried to buy Holly Willoughby a drink in the Tzar Bar, Brighton
 - Had a pint with the bassist and singer of Kaizer Chiefs after their set at the NME Awards tour in Southampton
 - Alan Reeves bought me and my mates a drink in Po Na Na in return for a lift home to Marlborough

 - Met Kris Akabussi while at primary schoool

I am distantly related to Don Rogers but he does not know!!  :(

My girlfriends dad's in a rock band and have met loads of famous people at gigs including Stuart Pearce, Jim Davidson and the like.  Get to go back-stage at all the gigs which are wicked so have become almost second nature to see/meet them!  8)

Met a few famous people through work including Jeffreys Archers wife and other hobnobs!

I almost forgot!  Our very own Sven came to my workplace and i had an amicable hand-shaking experience with him.  Now he is short.

Me and a mate once had a night on the town (London town) with Clarke Carlisle (ex-QPR centre half) now at Leeds.  He's Britain's most intelligent footballer, but I casught him out on a question.  Anyway a week after our night out, picked up a newspaper and read that Clarke had been admitted into a rehab clinic for alcoholism.  D'oh!  Nice bloke though.

if you want to know what i look like go buy the oasis book which has a shark on the front cover cant remember what its called but it was written by their old tour manager, there is a picture of noel gallagher, ocean colour scene, cast and me. i had been up all night on cheap amphetaminesand look really well in the picture!

Served Darren Gough at weatherspoons in MK a couple of years ago.

His ex-wife and kids live down here don't you know.

Also met that tosser of a chairman Hunt many years ago when my dad marched in to the main reception to moan at him for something or other.

Stood next to Gus Poyet at a pre season friendly with Spurs a few years ago (in the players lounge), in fact sort of met a few around the premiership era in the players lounge.  My uncle used to be a steward on the door, so let us in for free!

Oh, I also know the guy who does the animation for 2DTV, and more recently the animation for Billy Conolly's latest TV adventure.  He was a guest at Steve Cougan's wedding, and the premier of Around the World in 80 Days.

That'll do for the moment, mostly because I can't think of any more.

If anyone's got the first Travis album (Good Feeling I think it's called), there's a spread of peoples faces in the middle pages.

I'm right in the bottom left corner looking like I should be dead. It was my Pete Doherty era..

Heroin? or Coke?

oh i use to crash when in london at paul wellers house in holland park 8)

Ive done a FA coaching course with John Trollope and Chris"Wiggy"Hamlin,, Been mistaken for Carl Fogarty and signed an autograph using his name :)

Coke. I'm not that stupid  :D

Was gonna say, cokes not that bad think 50% of swindon are on it! Fortunately I got caught and am a good lad now days!

Became a bit (understatement) of a problem for me, hence the move down here 10 years ago to get away from it all and start again.

Pillar of society these days though!

gLAD IM NOT TEH ONLY ONE WHOS DABBLED!

:soapy tit wank:

Nearly all the older lot on here are druggies or ex druggies.Your right about coke being prevelant in Swindon but most of the gear is bollocks.I knocked it on the head about 8 months ago but still have the odd go on other people just don't buy it .

DEPENDS WHERE YOU GET IT..... :D

:evil:

why was it "tried to" and not "bought"?

I met Jimmy Greaves at the calais hovercraft port when I was young. my dad chatted about football to him for ages, and he was a bloody nice bloke.

She politely declined my kind and generous offer.

well done for trying dave; i wouldn't have had the guts unless i was substance-enhanced.

oi dave b, i met akabussi inprimary school, at lethbridge, was that the same place you met him?

my mate is don rogers' nephew-i sometimes think reg smeeton is that mate's dad because he knows just as much as you

Years ago, I worked for my Dad behind a bar at a concert in Bath organised by Peter Gabriel. Ended up working on the VIP bar backstage and served Sinead o'connor, Bob Geldof, Sting and best of all chatted up and ended up snogging Phil Lynott's :old  (Thin Lizzy) daughter.

Jammed (and almost played a gig) with Jesus Jones (who!!!!)

Met Melinda Messenger through a friend of a friend when I lived in Swindon. A mate of my mate new her boyfriend who was a bit of a knob jockey if I remember, but he did get us a lock in Mckenzies :beers

Bowled two balls against Robin Smith, first went for a single and the next went for the biggest six you'll ever see :(

No, she actually was quite pleasant, SY

Dex, I think Akabussi did a tour of primary schools (bit suspicious...), met him at Freshbrook!

Billie Piper has watched me play football on a Sunday morning

I was a teammate of Martin Foyle in salisbury(Bemerton Fc)

I met Robbie Williams. He stayed at my uncles hotel in Bath. He eats mashed potato with his fingers to show off. He also shagged my cousin and afterwards she cried coz he did her up the ass even though she didnt want to. I liked him he was a nice guy very down to earth and quite ordinary really.

I live near Dr Lara Stone from casualty. Sometimes i see her and stalk her for a bit she always goes in charity shops. She looks better on tele than she does close up  :(

We have a winner! :D

Surely!

I dont think I should be the winner :oops: . Surely this is the winner :D

My mate went out with his daughter(don't know how many he had), lived in Box.  I seem to remember her being gorgeous as well, good on ya :wink:

i once got off with anne robinsons daughter at a party near corsham, only realised it was her 15 years later when i saw her her on anne robinsons this is your life.

I lived next to Jimmy Glass when he was at swindon,Once worked with Charlie Henry after he had retired from football and danced next to Naomi Campbell in a club in Ibiza.

Oh and was heckling Judge Jules as my mate pushed him down the Brunel Rooms stairs

" the judge won't budge" was one of his jingles at the time, but i can confirm he did that night

Mine as well

Just remembered I danced with Tania ex of big brother at Creation in Cardiff September 2003

http://www.celebritiesworldwide.com/Images/Tania-Big-brother---new.jpg

I thought she was pretty annoying in the house though to be honest.

Following on from the snooker thread, i ate breakfast next to Ronnie O'Sullivan in the De Vere Grand in Brighton back in October when there was some tournament going on.

Had to stop Primal Scream from killing a French waiter at 6:30AM afterthe tailout of an all night bender after a gig in London.

The biggest arrogant CUNT I have ever met is Mr Motivator, to this day and I have met pleanty over the years.

Pulled a bird that was once on the cover of Loaded.
