Davefevs Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Non football related one, but Mrs F was in Beverley Hills visiting a friend when this old guy came up to her and asked her where Bank of America was. She told him he was right by it, and off he walked. Mrs F’s friend came out of a shop and said “what were you doing talking to Charlton Heston”! Mrs F had no idea. The next time she saw him was as a waxwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When growing up, Mike Gibson used to deliver the mail to @CyderInACan and my house. Our old man was star struck. I can trump that, as I’ve had both Tom Ritchie and Gerry Sweeney deliver my mail!

I believe Vic ran a garage in Keynsham after he retired. Loved reading all the tenuous claims on here. Great stuff. He's the eldest of 2 brothers!

Fordy62 Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I once said hello to Lorraine Kelly in a hotel corridor in Florida. I have Liz Hurley’s sister’s mobile number stored in my mobile. Yep. They’re both rubbish. Although unsurprisingly LH’s sister is quite fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was an under 16's game and they were called Parkway. Anyway I made sure I kicked him. Went out with John Atyeos neice when I was at school. As a kid I played in a sandpit with Gary Megson while his dad played in a celeb charity cricket match in Stoke Bishop....(only other celeb there i can remember was Precious McKenzie....)

WestonRobin Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I went to school with Steve Phillips, he was in the year below. We lived in the same village played footy at the local park and in his back yard. Still remember the save he made when we played at St Johns as a 9 year old, you could tell then he was going to be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I was hit on the head by a shot from Jantzen Derrick that went over the bar on the East End terraces when I was a schoolboy.
