Re: Has anyone here got any claims to fame?'
And whilst we're on the subject, and it isn't my claim, but its a bloody good one, my gran used to make Frank Worthington's butties for him when he played for Radcliffe Borough (at away games) as my grandad was fed up of the stinking hungover Frank nicking his on the coach.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

I saw Nick Faldo in Heathrow airport.

The Everton squad were in Manchester airport around 1986, I turned down the offer of an autograph from one of the players.

My brother was on match of the day, seen running on the pitch after full time at Bloomfield Road to pat George Best on the back after he'd made one of his returns to professional football for Fulham.
I'd done the same a few weeks earlier. Patting Paul Jones on the back after a Bolton pre-season friendly against Chorley at Victory Park.

Ah, pitch invasions.
For those old enough to recall the Lancashire v Gloucester One-Day match which finished at about a quarter to midnight, by the light of the moon and stars .... I was one of the first across the pitch, filmed legging over to pat David Hughes on the back. When I got to the wicket I nicked a stump.
However, the stump was them taken from me by a much older kid who them tried to stab me with it.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Gerroff! I can imagine how you captured Mr. GG. Short skirt, eye shadow, a perky attitude? If you snagged him by talking science and teaching then I'm very much mistaken.Gooner Girl wrote:You can't blame womankind for that! Men see innuendo even when none is intended.

I don't think it was either! No idea why he fell for me. Wasn't my non existant cooking and housekeeping skills either. Probably my awesome taste in football team I guess.Dujon wrote:Gerroff!

My car featured in the first episode of the BBC hit drama series Clocking Off.
Here it is, the CRX.
You can't tell from the picture but that's star of tv's Life on Mars and Dr Who and erm Clocking Off John Simm in the Volkswagen.
FTW.

Not mine, but I forgot about this one.
My best mate's Dad got twatted by Sam Allardyce in pub in Bolton in the 80's after slating one of his performances. Described himself as "being chucked across a table half-conscious"

Me and Chris C have the same claim to fame, well it's almost a claim to fame. We both lived in Paddy McGuinness' old house - not at the same time I hasten to add. I rented it after Chris.

I don't think being on telly at the cricket and a junior chess career counts.
I did watch the FA cup semi final in the same box as Owen Coyle's mum, though

Re: Has anyone here got any claims to fame?'
You reminded me... way back in the dim and distant past I was on tv*. Some program, I think it was called Shoot Pool or something, where I featured for about five minutes when me and my partner were massacred by Maltese Joe and his partner in the north west regional finals of the pool championships. When you think that in the same year (was about 1978, but could have been 1979) I got rat arsed with Rat Scabies, then to be frank, I'm a fecking superstar**Athers wrote:I don't think being on telly at the cricket and a junior chess career counts.

(*I've been on the tele in my infamous capacity of 15-to-1 not quite champion, which I obviously need to keep reminding people about. I mean what's the point ofnearly being famous if nobody remembers you?)
(**On the scale of having a piss with Fred Dibnah's counted as being famous... I'm not talking actual superstardom. )

Bloke who's kids I used to babysit, foolishly took a drunken swing at one of the London brothers (I forget which one, Brian?) in a Blackpool pub. He was out cold before he'd even finished his swing

My youngest son just told me that a teacher at his school is married to Robbie Savage's brother.
