Anyone met anyone realy famous? I met harry redknapp once , I was in Dorset for a few days and was walking down near sand banks looking at all the huge houses , one of the houses big drive doors opened and a car pulled out and parked up litteraly right next to me . Out popped harry redknapp holding a bottle of engine oil! I shouted to my girlfriend who was abit down the road get the camera it's bloody harry redknapp! She obviously didn't have a clue who he was but managed to get a picture. He did generally seem like a nice bloke , it was just after Tottenham let him go and I said to him any luck with a new club? He replied not yet but I want to get back into football straight away. I was tempted to ask him if I could see his rich dog... ;)

    Hahah!

    Oh and I think I've mentioned the Michael Johnson incident once or twice... when he put his arm out and showed me the palm of his hand and bellowed "NO!" at me! I was only heading towards him to say hello... Rude w*nker.

    Buckshee likes that story!

    Mick McCarthy at a pub in Chislehurst a few years ago when he was just starting his managerial career at Wolves. Got talking about some of our players and who to look out for. We mentioned how good Chris Iwelumo was and that same season he went and bought him!

    I have a couple of autographs from Valentino Rossi but I didn't get a chance to speak to him.

    Ernie Els is the biggest golf one I have, that was a lot more of a personal encounter. He was exactly as you hear, 'The Big Easy'. Phil Mickelson has BO.

    I worked for the Cable company Videotron in the early 90's, and was involved with a lot of their social and charity events.
    At one I met Daley Thompson, who was down to earth and a nice bloke. While we were having a chat one of our snooty marketing managers interrupted and asked Daley if he had Cable TV, he said unfortunatley not. She replied he should consider getting it as "we now have a channel for black people," I've never felt so embarrassed. He was very cool and said, why the fuck would he want to watch that. She climbed out of her hole and disappeared.

    We carried on chatting.

    He really was a top bloke. !!!!
