Sat opposite Gabrielle (with the eye patch on, I always thought it was part of the act) on a train from Chester to Manchester in 1995.
 
On my honeymoon, chilling in the pool and literally within minutes saw Ray Parlour and El Hadji Diouf. The latter was an absolute t!t , treating both his lady, kids and I’m guessing nanny like sh:te.

Went for our evening meal and saw Kelvin Fletcher (Emmerdale) and Robbie Savage with his family.
 
Hungover on a Sunday morning after one of Boro's Wembley visits in 1997.
Girlfriend (now wife's) cousin had an uncle who was an Ambassador. (bear with me).
He was a way on service so she had his basement flat in Notting Hill. We were lucky enough to stay the weekend.
Saw Robbie Williams putting his bins out. I gave him a wave and he gave me that 'cheeky scamp' smile with his tongue out.

Just seemed so funny at the time, us northerners seeing a 'celeb' doing his domestics!
Had to do a double-take.

Think he'd just left Take That - his druggy phase with 'Angels; and that.
 
Don't know what reminded me but I saw Alvin Stardust in the Linny - I remember it was lunchtime as I was on my break from my day release course at Kirby College
Richard Whiteley sat behind us at a test match at Headingley - got well pished off with a gang of us constantly singing the theme for when the clock counted down on his afternoon show
 
Not me but........my Manchester best mate Ted (RIP) was Donald Pleasance's brother in law and used to get invited to Donald's home in Fulham for xmas parties where the usual suspects were Bill Wyman, Herbert Lom and Robin Nedwell. Ted was a bit of a handyman so whenever Donald wanted some work doing to the house Ted got the call. On one such occasion they went out to the pub one night and when they got back Donald discovered he'd lost his house keys but said a mate of his round the corner had a ladder and they'd get it and Ted could climb in the bedroom window. So they went round to see Donald's mate who turned out to be ......Roald Dahl who came to the door with a snooker cue in his hand, he invited them in and there stood another bloke with a cue in his hand ....George Harrison
