Put Steve Ogrizovic on his arse in a service station....

He is a legend but he didnt look and turned round, walked into me and bounced off!

I noticed somebody was trevor peakes nephew? I used to play football against his son, Callum I think it was back in the day!

Saw Dean Gaffney in a club in Coventry before he was abused with "Not now gaffney"

World Champions and being on american/japanese pay per view TV shows etc etc surely counts as famous dont it?

Got Victor Meldrew's autograph in a theatre when I was about 10yrs old when I was on a school trip - still got it somewhere.

Often see snooker dude John Parrott in the local Tescos & round & about as he lives round ere & owns a snooker place not far away.

Met & chatted to all the Top Gear dudes at the very first filming of the new style show a couple of years ago - got video of JC with myself & a few mates from that day.

Not that famous a connection but my grandad carried the Knight Rider car a few times on his car transporter.
