    Found out there was some Spurs in with Charlton at Play Off Final.
    Layed him out twice - think his mates made up some cover story about fainting to spare his blushes.

    I had a letter published in The Beano. It was the star letter of the week and I won lots of Dennis The Menace goodies.

    I was 29 at the time!

    ...and feinted in hospital when I went with our Sunday football team to visit one of our players...and ended up laying in his bed!

    AFKA can vouch for them!

    You forgot to mention you crashed into a fishtank and had to be dragged through the ward by your feet !

    Claiming the wicket of Richie Richardson in a village cricket match.

    My mate can claim that as well - when RR played for Lashings!

    Me - offering out Glenn McCrory and calling Johnny Nelson a liar at York Hall. Seemed a good idea at the time.

    Then getting them to sign my programme ten minutes later (which they did).

    I was once in Roy of the Rovers in the late 70's for spotting that weeks deliberate mistake (Mervyn Wallace had a different number on his shorts to that on his shirt)

    Played in the same youth team as Mark Penfold and Richie Bowman.
  • Was interviewed on a Latvian News Channel once about 7 hours into an all dayer in Riga. We were convinced they would never use the footage until we logged on to their website a week later when we remembered and there we were, dubbed over with some gruff Russian voice!

    Was also on Sky Sports once when the panned in for a close up of me in the crowd half time @ WHL. Only thing was I used to wear a scream mask & a wig to away games back then (I can't actually remember why now). It was me though, honest, I remember getting texts from my mates saying I was on the TV!

    Oh and was on the front page on the Kentish Times years ago (1989 or 1990 maybe?) when we had buckets of snow. Photo was me, my brother and his mate that were all piled into one slegde and were bombing it down power station hill next to Joydens Wood. Think my Mum still has the article somewhere....
  • Shagged both my primary and secondary school headmasters' daughters. Absolute 100% truth.

    At different times?

  • Was a Childrens TV presenter in Riyadh as a nipper in the early 90s.

    Got sacked when I inadvertedly wore a tshirt with a 7up logo on a live episode and they had to pull it cos sponsors kicked off. Still owe me money the bastards.

    I used to date Denise Brown. Her sister was Nicole Brown-Simpson, the murdered wife of OJ Simpson.

    I'm not sure what the TV coverage of the trial was like in the UK but over in the States she became quite well known herself because she was the one who was always being interviewed when the family was coming out of court. Very outspoken and she wasn't afraid of expressing her opinions. Spitting image of Nicole but with long dark hair. Once, when we were out and about, somebody came up to her and said "You're Denise Simpson aren't you?". Wrong.

    OJ wasn't her favourite person.

    I played against him when he played for Lashings too. And can't believe I didn't post this originally, but...have played table tennis against David Beckham. Honest truth.

    Introduced Daniel Day Lewis to bunking in at the Valley.

    I'm one of the kids playing football in Greenwich Park in the film Sunday Bloody Sunday ~ this being the film where the Crooms Hill boy also debuted.

    It was a great gig - two quid a day plus fish and chips.

    Often wondered what would have happened if our Dan had got the flu and so one of us ordinary extras had got our big break...

    Funnily enough.

    I had a letter published in Match magazine in '91 imploring Graham Taylor to pick Robert Lee and Carl Leaburn for England. I was only being serious about one of them. The editor's reply was along the lines of "You wot mate? You'll be bringing Garth Crooks out of retirement next."
    I'm still waiting for my apology. Anyway, at the home game at Upton Park after it was published my mate told me two lads were reading it aloud and pissing themselves at my stupidity. As Bob Monkhouse said, they're not laughing now.

    Darts, 180, my bedroom circa 1989(ish). I'm pretty sure the oche wasn't to official tournament protocol but who cares.
    I remember freezing for approx 5 seconds in stunned amazement....and then thinking `no fucker will ever believe me'. Never got near it since.

    I was interviewed for the RTP Monday night football magazine show a few years back about following Imortal Albufeira.

    Why would you lie? Top respect! Luckily enough the one time I did it I had witnesses...
