Wainy316 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 All my best ones come from working in Man United's VIP room in the 05/06 season. I have seen Sam Allardyce demolish a shared sandwich platter all by himself. I had a two game stint as Fergie's personal tea boy while his usual guy was off. I served Eusebio a tuna steak.

Risso Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I sat next to Mario Jardel who used to play for Bolton in a Horwich barber shop. Actually this is quite a good one: I've played football momentarily against Roberto Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_ Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I often speak to/work with a bloke that used to be a judge on scrapheap challenge..... Now that really is a rubbish claim to fame! Also used to work in a petrol station and often served Sue Barker as she lived nearby...... also served Geoff Hurst and a bloke from Right said Fred haha.

Electric Avenue Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I've played football against Iron Maiden + friends/roadies etc. I played RB and marked Steve Harris (had trials at west ham) and also pulled off a wonder save from keeper Bruce Dickinson who was a decent keeper .

chrisp65 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Also used to work in a petrol station and often served Sue Barker as she lived nearby...... also served Geoff Hurst and a bloke from Right said Fred haha. . Now, in my head, Sue Barker turned up and bought some petrol, looking all happy to be going home. Minutes later, Geoff Hurst turns up and buys some petrol forecourt flowers and some breath freshening mints. Minutes later, Right Said Fred bloke turns up and buys a pack of condoms and some 3 in 1.

chrisp65 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I once got winked at by Riccardo Scimeca. My dad had been shouting 'Fernando' at him for a solid 5 minutes with no sign of an autograph coming his way when I suggested he might get a better response by calling him Riccardo.

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I was coached by Martin Johnson for a training session a few years ago, just before he took the England job. I also helped out at a summer rugby camp which had Craig Newby and Julian Salvi as guest coaches. My Grandad played a couple of times for Wolves reserves in the 50s.

Xela Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm going to blow everyone out the water now with this celebrity nugget. I once trod on the foot of Ian Ormondroyd's wife in my school hall during some presentation / Harvest Festival. Not on purpose of course, i'm not a monster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I effectively chose the music Jenny Jones listened to before she did her run, so I pretty much am responsible for her medal. Ginko... DJ to Olympic heroes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
