Thought of a couple others...
My mother in law used to babysit Ewan McGregor
Just had to google the crap out of this one. Couldn't remember her name. A real piece of work.
Nancy Dell'Olio - When she wrote a book (Or had some one else write it), about that football manager guy. She went on a glorious book signing tour. At the local Sainsburys.

h i have ever had the misfortune of coming across. And i told her so. Much to the shock of everyone who was swooning around her. (No idea who she was at the time)

I wouldn't say it was consensual - he wanted to stop me.
It was at a 6-a-side tournament in Manchester, each team got an ex pro as either a player or a manager. We got Stuart McCall on our team who was a great laugh.
Anyway in one of the games we were up against a team featuring Des, and I managed to get by him.
Something not many people can say. Has to be one of the highlights of my footballing career. Topped only by scoring a goal at the Trent End, last kick of the game. After which I promptly retired.

First round was an easy 2-1 victory. This is easy we thought. Might as well book the flights now, we thought.
2nd round - these old guys in Juventus strips hobbled onto the pitch. Who the hell did they think they were? Anyway, after four minutes we had conceded six goals. Only the Notts County backroom boys and ex-pros from the 70s. I know exactly how you felt when you got past Des, because thanks to my heroic goalkeeping I kept the goals conceded in single figures.
I also retired after the match

That is correct. I'm not sure how well known she is so went for the Robshaw connection.
I've met her, she sang happy birthday to me a couple of years ago(on my birthday, otherwise that would be weird...) but I've not met him.
Decent guy, very unassuming and respectable.I've met her, she sang happy birthday to me a couple of years ago(on my birthday, otherwise that would be weird...) but I've not met him.
I played against him when he was at Milfield - I have some close friends who have been in and around the England squad so have been to a few after match do's with them, and he is generally one of the quieter ones who doesn't seem at all bothered about "celebrity status."

Which leads nicely onto a tenuous link. My business partner's elder brother is Wolf from Gladiators.

the manager of my local starbucks used to work in london and saw Boris Johnson rather a lot. said he is scary clever, the bumbling idiot thing is a good act.
I would be inclined to believe that; one of my business partner's brothers is a journalist and has met Boris a few times. He said exactly the same thing.Which leads nicely onto a tenuous link. My business partner's elder brother is Wolf from Gladiators.
Highly tenuous but in the spirit of the thread, three of my neighbours could pass as lookalikes for famous / semi famous folk - one is the absolute spit of train robber Tommy Wisbey, another is a dead ringer for the actor who played Isambard Kingdom Brunel in a dramatized documentary about the great man and Parker in the ste Thunderbirds film, while the old chap who's recently moved in round the corner could be the long lost evil twin of arch nasty bd Peter Tobin.
Oh, and before her hair went grey my Mrs looked a bit like Patti Smith when she appeared on The Old Grey Whistle Test in the '70s.
