I met Rolf Harris on a train to Manchester when I was about 11 years old. He was (and still is as far as I know) the nicest 'famous' person I've ever met. He took the time to help me draw some doodles and I've still got the framed pics on my wall.

I spent an evening drinking and gambling with Razor Ruddock. Is that good?

I played against him at schoolboy level in the early/mid 80s. He once kicked me about 15 feet up in the air. His brother Gary broke his leg playing for my old Sunday pub team.

A couple of the members of Smokie stayed at my house at the height of their fame in the 70's - they came to a neighbour's, son's wedding. Unfortunately (or fortunately) my sisters and I were sent to stay with our grandparents to free up beds for them to sleep in so we never ever met them!

I got ignored by Vanessa Mea at Heathrow airport.

Dave Bickers (of Bickers stunts who do all the Top Gear stuff, James bond and other hollywood crap) used to have a shop in Ipswich called "Bickers motorcycles" on Barrack corner. My best mates Dad also had a small motorcycle shop and he was good mates with Dave. We went to Speedway with him once to see the Ipswich Witches, iirc Dave bought me and my mate Paul a burger each.

As a student, I used to work at The Bear in Havant. Petula Clark used to stay there, when seeing her kids at school nearby. It was my job to knock her up in the mornings, with a cup of tea.
