Famous people you've seen in random places

Remembered 2 more.

Peter Ridsdale on Leeds to KX train many moons ago, sat opposite him. On his phone a lot, no juicy gossip at all.

Alan Smith meeting Man Utd representatives before his move from Leeds was announced.
 
Jack Charlton at the Haymarket bus station in Newcastle. My mum had a chat with him (she was visiting me when I was a student) It must have been interesting as she thought he was Jackie Milburn...... :) Peter Withe on a tennis court in Thailand, and Billy Bonds in Harrods- my eldest was amazed at how star struck I was. Kenny Roberts when I was working for an oil company- I was interested in his thoughts about that inches win over Barry Sheene. He was great company.
 
Steve Mclaren at Leeds Bradford Airport (when he was boro manager) as we were boarding for Sonar Festival in Barcelona

Ronaldo (the Brazilian centre forward) sat next to us at a beach restaurant in Ibiza this summer (he's put on a few pounds now!)

Ravanelli in Debenhams with his family
 
A few mentions of Steve Mclaren remind me he was on the transfer bus at Schipol, must've been when he was managing in Holland. My drunk travelling companion made a show of himself shouting stuff about the Boro at him.

Same with Peter Beardsley. I've seen him on a transfer bus getting pestered by a Geordie.

Steve McLaren at an electronic and experimental music festival what thought. I'm pretty into my electronica but Sonar is hardcore weird in parts. Certainly not a place the Fat Lass would approve of anyway!
 
My poor contributions are Gaston Ramirez in H&M Teesside Park on a Wednesday night and Mark Clattenberg on the Metro going to the airport.

Haha, yeah to be fair it was probably (heavily, heavily likely!) coincidence and he was just going to Barcelona at the same time, but I prefer the thought he was going there to get down to some techno.

The thought of SMac going to a real hardcore European techno act is one that makes laugh. Can imagine him gurning off his chops, up the front, sweating rabidly :LOL:
 
Big Jack in a pub in Warkworth
Tony Robinson at Pisa Airport
Sandra Dickinson & Prunella Scales both ahead of me in the queue to check into a 'Quality'(ha!) Hotel, Wolverhampton

Worked with a famous face or two but that doesn't really count.
 
My mate and I had a brief conversation with the AOR band Dokken in a cafe in Hamburg Airport on our way to Wacken, but I think there'll only be a select few on here who know of them... I think they were pretty successful in America at one point though? 🤔
