I'd agree about bez to an extent, I just fun it bizarre that he his famous for being in a band but didn't actually telly do anything. Mental.

There are bands out there with arguably talented people in them but nobody knows who they are yet every knows who bez is, crazy world...

Just remembered, I met Interpol at Leeds in 2002 before they were big and they were alright.

I've met the following "celebs"

Seve (RIP).....I sat across the aisle from him on a flight to Bilbao, the day after Europe had retained the Ryder Cup

Wierd that his picture was plastered across all the newspapers with him and the team celebrating, yet he was totally unassuming and no matter how many people asked for his autograph he obliged every single one of them

On the same trip to Spain I stayed at a hotel in San Sebastian and John Aldridge and his family arrived while I was there. He'd just been transferred from Liverpool to Real Sociedad.

It was a bit surreal because I met his mum in law in the bar first of all and she just said she was over helping out her daughter settling in because her son in law had just got moved over to Spain. No mention it was Aldo at first....seemed more like Brookside on tour!

Once we all met up again then Aldo, me and my mate all went looking to see if we could get him a deal with the local VW / Audi dealer (as at the time I worked for the group)....not sure if anything ever came of it back then. These days no doubt Prem level footballers wouldn't be interested unless you worked for Ferrari  

On my honeymoon in Florida we met Jimmy Greaves and his wife at a steak house....he was really chatty and he was well excited about the Back to the Future ride, telling me I shouldn't miss it. My wife thought I was joking when I said I could hear Greavsie talking at the next table....I couldn't see him because we were sat back to back in a booth and she told me I was just obsessing with footie! As an avid Saint & Greavsie fan though, I knew I was right!

A few others I've met include

David Essex......I always thought he was pretty cool when he was Gonna make you a star etc but face to face he was a bit standoffish.

He was doing a talent show thing in Harrogate and I got in to a lift which he was already in with some leggy blonde. He had his arm around her and in his other hand he had an electric fan (pre-air conditioning days!)

I quipped it was nice to meet David and his fan and he just gave me a really filthy look....not amused at all, so our ascent to the next level was a bit embarrassing

I met Tony Adams coming out of Disneyland Paris and he was telling his son that he was all spent up and that he couldn't afford anything else. He gave me a bit of a wry grin, knowing that I was probably gob-smacked that him on his mega thousands per week had run out of dosh!

I also met Rod Hull when checking in for a flight.....seems like there's a common theme with him as he also told a few autograph hunters to go forth. He went down in my estimation as I thought someone who could give it out on TV would be able to take it when in public. Just a jumped up TW80 imho

Also anyone remember Crossroads? Not sure of this guy's name but his character was called Kevin and he was married to a girl called Glenda. Well after he'd left the show I met him while he was working as a waiter in a hotel in Ramsgate....there he was serving me and a few workmates our full English breakfasts. He said it was quite common for out of work actors to make ends meet like that...felt a bid sad for him really as he was quite a nice bloke whose face obviously didn't seem to fit any more on the soap opera merry-go-round

Finally I have to mention a local "celeb"....Julie Peasgood. Ex Wintringham before becoming an actress and then latterly a sex expert!!! I never ever thought when I used to see her on the way to school, looking all prim and proper all those years ago that she would be telling the nation how to get the best out of doing what comes naturally
