I’m a good few years older than most on here so I’ve had a fair few chances
- first one I remember was Mike Yarwood at Jersey airport when I was about 10 in 1980 (famous tv comic and impersonator from late 70s)
- I met the entire Man U squad in July 96 when they stopped at the Village hotel in Nottingham for a 4-team preseason tournament. We (18 of us) were there on a stag do and that was our base. Met Ferguson, Beckham, Cantona, Schmeichel, Butt, Scholes, Sharpe, McClair amongst others
- Slipknot - they (and their minders) walked right past me in the Virgin Megastore in Birmingham in full on face mask attire sometime mid/late 90s. They were on their way to do a signing in front of store but I had no idea who they were at the time!
- Simple Minds - same Virgin store for a signing of their Live in the City of Lights double LP in 1987
- saw Gok Wan in Cardiff on my stag do in 2007
- saw Niall Quinn on his phone in London when I was in a coffee shop with some colleagues in 2013. Think Sky’s offices were just around the corner
- met loads of footballers at the City Ground. Not just Forest players, but from other teams too including Joey Barton (surprisingly came across as a nice guy), Iain Holloway, John McGovern (loads of times with that NFFC legend), Chris Hughton, Nigel Clough
