I served slush to Stephen Craigan when he was with his family. And spoke to Stephen Robinson (whilst he was still M/Well manager) at Motherwell train station. Also at a book signing, Michael Palin said "Ni" to me. Is your dad Billy Sloan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside my mate Gavin from Elgin who now lives in Australia and has a very successful life and I’m not jealous in anyway about how that turned out, was in some way related to the Krankies.

jimbaxters Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Had to go to the local tennis club near my work for an hour there. One of the pros came up to me and said in pigeon English that they had a special guest who he wanted to point out. It was Dennis Wise (Wobbly Eyes). He thought I was English tbf but looked amazed when I was so underwhelmed by him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDPco Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Fat Ronaldo came to my work earlier this year. Poor guy could barely walk three yards without getting asked for a photo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been going to gigs for over 21 years and have no life so I turn up early and meet them going in or hang around after and ambush them on the way to the bus. Or pay for meet and greet, but that was only for Slipknot and Escape The Fate so far. Though I have got m&g for Waterparks and Against The Current later this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Most famous person I met today is Duncan Ferguson who is on my flight back to Manchester from Anatalya. We are taking off in 10 mins and so far he has not got drunk or attacked anybody. Could be some flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Terrapin Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Gold medal winning runner Lachie Stewart presented me with a signed (league cup winning) Partick Thistle ball that I won in a raffle. Despite best intentions of keeping it good I played street football with it a couple of days later. Rory Bremner, really decent and funny guy Sandy Tosvig(horrible wee fucker) Footballers/managers; Davie Moyes(was at school with him) Alex Ferguson(Gent)Ally McCoist,(seemed a decent enough guy) Alan McGregor(thicker than thick Jack McThick from Thick Street), Walter Smith(Gent), Kyle Lafferty(surprisingly amiable), Grant Hanley(decent), Lyndon Dykes(decent), Ryan Christie(arsehole). Pat McGinlay(lovely guy and the only one I asked to have a photo with.) Most of these encounters were brief so their decent/arsehole behaviour scores may have been hastily formed however McGregor's will forever be accurate. My Uncle was best pals with Peter O'Toole though I never met him. My mum said he was an arsehole(but not in those words) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 1 hour ago, Joe Terrapin said: Ryan Christie(arsehole). Bit surprised by that (not just saying that as a caley fan), he seemed the sort not to get too big for hit boots I’ve met Mick Mccarthy, got his autograph when he was playing at the golf course I was a member at. Seemed sound enough in the 30 secs I spoke to him I went to uni at Heriot Watt and Hearts trained there (still do I think) and wouldn’t say I “met him” but Callum Paterson genuinely looks about 8 foot tall in person up close Not really met anyone else that I can remember, my sister used to work for Sainsburys and she served Darren Fletcher…and had no idea who he was 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I once met famous rapists goodwillie and Robertson in the Kingsway Tesco a few years back. They were deciding on which Muller fruit corner to buy. This was before they became famous rapists however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
