Dave Bassett was a motivational speaker at a conference I attended once - nice guy but English football didn't strike me as being that relevant.
I have autographs from Hale & Pace.
Seen Jackie Stewart and Colin McRae a few times but too shy to say hello!

I'm not related to anyone famous, and I don't really know any famous people.

I do go fishing at Bobby George's (darts player) lakes though and he often comes round for a chat.

I also once had a piss next to Ross Kemp (Grant Mitchell from Eastenders).

Judging by this post and anyone you speak to, everybody knows a kickboxing or karate champion of some sort

My nephew played for Man City and I met a load of the players on a night out! I played against Joe Cole many years ago in the Milk Cup tournament, im actually older than him but he was that good he played in the higher age group.

My mums cousins daughter is Rebecca Cartwright, some blonde piece that would get it from Home and Away.

Used to play football with Paul Scholes, still see him now as his kids go to the school at the top of our street.
Good friends with Craig Gill from the Inspiral Carpets and through that met a couple of famous Mancs that are in a band.
Seen Ricky Fatton at City as my mate has a box next to his, proper decent chap him.

Im mates with the british grapple and strike champion Ronnie Mann, and know or have at least met a few times loads of top (ie UK/World champion) K1 fighters, PrideFC fighters, etc etc.
(If you ever want to hear bouncers in a club say "If anything kicks off, we just calling the police, cause there no way we joining in" you should go out on the piss with James Thompson, Pele Reid, Paul Sutherland, and about 15 others, was funny as fuck.
Clearly bouncers dedication to the job is secondary to getting their heads kicked in )

My ex's is uncle who she lives with (parents dead) is Kevin McCloud who presents that Grand Designs program on Ch4 (well, he owns all of TalkBack Productions that do loadsa TV stuff).

I know Martin Devaney who plays up front for Barnsley

Met that black guy Otis who used to present CBBC when out on the piss, Andy Cole when he played for Newcastle at a trials for Bristol Rovers (he was there with his Cousin), and Robbie Craig (the guy who sang Woman Trouble with Craig David, and loadsa other Garage songs from back in the day) he tiny, about 5ft5 max IIRC.

See Kate Thompson and that Swimmer or whatever she is, Sharon Davis, shopping on town sometimes

And of course being a writer for Redline makes me a minor media celebrity too (actually, honest to god, ive had 2 random goons recognise me and get my fookin autograph already

And obv cause of the job i know loadsa the models (some famous, some not so famous), the other well known magazine types (Renton, Scary Steve, and so on), and shit like that i guess.

Ive met Michael Park (RIP), Marco Martins old co-driver thast recently died in the WRC crash, as his bro was my old boss.

Oh, and met Tim Westwood, and ignored him, infact I think Brom spent all day in the winebago with him, and Brom just watched the F1 and didnt even look at the lanky old wigga

I think thats it, i dunno, shit memory.
