Football: Alan Curbishley, Stuart Peare, Paolo, Jon Arne Riise, Jon Obi Mikel, Szsechny... all were nice enough, apart from Curbs who was obviously a complete legend.
Jonny Depp - served him at Selfridges, nice and polite TBF to him. As was Noel Gallagher. Only dick I ever served when I worked up there (10 years ago) was Bradley Wiggins. Met Jack Whitehall and Jimmy Carr, both neither high up my list for favourite comedians but were really nice actually.
Honestly the best experience with famous people though was Danny Dyer - going into the Euros final last year and he spoke with me and my mates for a good 10 minutes about the game etc, shook all of our hands and was just absolutely sound baring in mind he was with his family and we were all absolutely trolleyed!
Antonio Conté in my local restaurant…a very quiet and unassuming guy…and his wife was a cracker!

Saw Steve McLaren at the urinals queue in the AO Arena, quietly told my mate who doesn't like football that the guy in front of us used to manage England. Mildly intoxicated, my mate asks him if he is famous, I then interject and say, "sorry Steve, he doesn't know much about football," Steve replied, "that's alright I don't either." Cracking guy. Terrible England manager.
Madeline Bell was the cabaret on the cruise boat we were on. It was in a small dinner club on Britannia (I think), with only a few hundred paying a supplement. She told stories about her career with Blue Mink and life in the sixties and seventies, working with people like Bowie and Elton, excellent value and she could still sing even though she was in her mid-seventies. I believe the boat dropped her off in Majorca where she said she now lived (luckily it was going there anyway!).
I think the next shows turn was Martine McCutcheon, we didn't pay the premium to go to that one.

Not forgetting her cracking vocals on Every Picture Tells a Story by Rod, and You Can’t Always Get What You Want by the Stones.
Madeline Bell fid a concert last year at the Cadagon Hall. She was magnificent and she introduced the whole Blue Mink band. Roger Cook did a medley of the songs he wrote. I was lucky to be invited to the after show party held in a hotel in Euston. And met P P Arnold. I had a great laugh with Sinnita’s mum. A fantastic evening.

Linda McCartney, back in 79, I was an apprentice electrician, she wanders into her (farmhouse) kitchen, makes us a cup of tea, has a chat, wanders off. I wasn't even aware we were working at their gaff. She was down to earth, no airs and graces.
Paul McCartney was often to be found, at the local Jempsons shop, asking people whether they wanted his autograph.
