I once got noshed off by Carol Vorderman when she lived next door, she was showing me her abacus at the time.
"eeek, my cousin (by marriage) is related to Dave Narey too - through his wife?!?!?!?) Don't know the details, but it's tenuous to say the least!!! As is my being related to Brian Blessed and Paul Wade (ex Socceroos captain). Was mates with Gary Lightbody at Uni - we played in the same football team, and did a half each in goal every week!
I went to college with Dave Watson and Nicky Eaden, still talk to them from time to time. I know David Slade, the director, used to ride BMXs with him and try to keep up.
I also once helped Ronnie Glavin with some problems he was having with his pond, I spent 3 hours trying really hard not to ask if he'd be my dad.
The wife's cousin is Jay Reso, otherwise known as the wrestler Christian. Only met him once for like 2 mins though!
Wouldn't class him as a close friend but know Rich Hall the US rubber faced comedian quite well (QI, Have I Got News for You etc)
I gave Topper Headon a Rizla packet to use as roach material, in a beer garden in Camden late 70's. Never offered me a toke, though...tight git.
My nephew (Jordan Crowther) is the second youngest forward to represent Wakefield Wildcats when he came on against Wigan earlier this year.
Sent you a PM mate. Oh and I forgot to mention that I once met Geoff Hurst's nephew. Unfortunately Uncle Geoff did not make a visit that day. And Snow Patrol, 1 or 2 decent tracks but the rest mediocre at best. Maybe something to do with them supporting Dundee. LOL
My neighbour was an ex barnsleyplayer of year who then got sent to prison for drug running. He is dead now
Ex reds keeper gerry Stewart was my economics lectuner at university. Had a few pints with him over the years
Used to live 3 doors away from Mark Crossleys uncle (mi mam still does) and went to school with his cousin.
My uncle used to live next door to Phil Chambers. The first house me & my wife bought in Sheffield we lived next door to Scott Jones.
Guy whittigham and graham rix live around the corner from me, not together I might add. And Kevin Keegan took my mum to the cinema in donny when they were kids
