    Used to work for a high-profile London retailer and in the process met Cliff Richard, Ronnie Corbett, Richard Wilson, Wayne Sleep and Kate Winslett close up. Saw many others from a slightly longer distance. As a 7 year old met Ronnie Barker so have managed to meet The Two Ronnies - my all time comedy heroes.
    My mate topped this in the retail sense as not only did he serve Peter Mandelson at his till but enjoyed the ensuing kerfuffle when his card was declined.... :-)

    Met a fair few now, but still, years later, the nicest bloke I ever met was Jeremy Beadle.

    For all his shitehouse personality, he was the sweetest man you could meet.

    A lot of people never see the real person behind the showbiz facade and would give him a slagging but he was a top bloke.

    I just don't know where to start on this one.

    Wait till @shag and Supaclive read it.
  • Gold medal Olympian Roger black is my girlfriends uncle, been to many a dinner with him aha.

    Plenty of charlton players. Few claims to fame with CAFC players after meeting them such as playing Danny Haynes on FIFA and having Lawrie Wilson and JJ following me on twitter.

    Few minor singers due to my own singing such as Ronan parke and Lil Chris. Hopefully many more (perhaps more famous too haha) via this avenue!

    Almost all of a past Man U squad such as Christiano Ronaldo, Sir Alex Ferguson, Rooney, Giggs, Gary Neville etc.

    I kicked Ron Atkinson in the shin when he got out of a taxi at Highfield Road for the FA cup match. Does that count?
