bickster Posted February 11, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2014 Oh and if you want real rubbish claims to fame… I tour managed the first ever independent (i.e. not state sponsored) tour of the USSR by a Western Rock Band. That was Big Country But you're going to tell me otherwise I'm sure If they went it was state sponsored No .. They went independently a Russian pop star Stas Narmin arranged it ... (1988), which saw the band playing the first ever privately promoted gig in Russia at the Moscow Sports Stadium. Big Country’s latest album, ‘Peace In Our Time’, may have been recorded in America, but it was launched with a party inside the Russian Embassy, and promoted with a series of concerts inside the Soviet Union. Others have made the trip behind the Iron Curtain, but what made this package a little bit special was that, for the first time, the organization was in the hands of private individuals – not a Party official in sight, comrade! Hmmm, maybe my rubbish claim to fame just got a little more rubbish then and therefore in the context of this thread, even better It must be first person to TM an Indie Band on a privately funded tour in the USSR (as we were there Feb 1989) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AndyM3000 Posted February 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2014 Daniel Sturridge has been in my house. Iv played poker with Brad Garrett (Robert in Everyone Loves Raymond) & Anthony Gardner (ex Spurs, now Sheff Wed captain, 1 England cap!). On the note of Barry Bannan. We were playing golf at Lea Marston pitch & putt and he was in the group behind us, he over hit his tee shot (Insert joke) and we helped him find his ball. At the end they skipped the last hole and replayed the first, he tee'd off and left the ball and went. I got that ball and still have it, after he has broken the world record for Real Madrid in pass completion, assists and all time cross accuracy, I'm going to sell this golf ball to Con for £10m. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Is this one rubbish enough for you? I know two women (neither of who know each other, and live at opposite ends of the country) who have been on a date with Titus Bramble.

Wainy316 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I met lower league and soccer AM favourite Bas Savage (famous for his moonwalking celebration) on Khao San Road in Bangkok and had a few drinks with him. Found out he was playing in the Thai Prem for 'Telecommunications of Thailand Sports Club' (TOTSC). A few days later I went along to watch him and chanted 'one Bas Savage' after the match to get his attention. He invited me down onto the pitch and had a chat and a kick about and a couple of photos. He also invited me out with the team that night but I had to get a night train To Chiang Mai. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
