I've just found out tonight, from a relative in Ireland, that John McEnroe is my second cousin and so I wondered whether my fellow whites had any famous relatives

I can trace my ancestors back to Ollie Cromwell.

None. Not with my surname meaning that I am in the 13th percentile class wise.

Although I could be distantly related to some Lawton from football somehow.

Jimmy Meadows ex Manchester City and England, and for a fleeting spell in the 1970's Bolton Wanderers manager was some sort of Uncle in law to me.

That's the best it gets!

My cousin was landlord of the "Blue Boar" for years and another one ran "The Griffin" for quite a while. Not too impressed hey?

Okay, the wife (until his death a couple of years ago) was cousin to Welsh film and TV star Glyn Owen. Bit better?

I was once nearly knocked down in Radcliffe by Len Fairclough, does that count?

I was on my way to work when it happened. I told him to pull his finger out.

My great grandmothers brother is one Kenny Davenport... the first ever Bolton player to play for England!

Pitty I didn't inherit any of his talent, but ah well!

Paul Mariner is my Mum's cousin. He came to my sister's Christening and had to come in the back entrance of the Church so he wasn't seen
