Steve Nash the basketball player (Canadian National Team) is my wife's second cousin.
That's real fame! WHO????
Steve Nash is probably one of the ten best known athletes in the US, and pretty much any other country where they play basketball.

Just too add to the 'vague connections', my cousin is professor of film at Hull University, and an authority on British/american film.He has written books on Richard Lester, the Beatles director, Clint Eastwood and Alfred Hitchcock. My cousin is mike sinyardhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Sinyard a bike manufacturer of alleged repute,

Not some fake crap...... All true I am afraid, and from someone that was dragged up on a Charlton council estate, my families fall from grace must have been dramatic. Still as they claim in football 'form is temporary and class is permanent'.
37 generations back (all recorded and verified) my direct ancestor killed Macbeth and then the bard, Shakespeare wrote a play about it all... Howzat?!! :-)

Think, thru' your mum you are also related to Nick Heyward (80's singer) Haircut 100
Oh yeah - mum went on a date with Paul Walsh - but says she blew him out for me - you got lucky

I did adopt my CL name from Carlyle's description of Robespierre, though!
Always told me he thought Selassie had a bigger 'aura' around him.

Howzat?!! :-)
