Ooh. Good point, I forgot about darts.
I've played in exhibition matches against Bobby George (twice), Keith Deller, Les Wallace and Trina Gulliver (seven times ladies world champion). I almost beat Keith Deller but he checked out just ahead of me. Had a lot of fun playing against Bobby George. Les Wallace thrashed me - even though he was completely plastered. Trina Gulliver is gorgeous and a bloody good darts player.
I've met Jimmy "The Whirlwind" White in a pub when I was based down in Plymouth. Was watching the footie and he came over and asked the score, he then sat down and had a pint with us.
Bumped into Zak Dingle in a resturant in Leeds, he was drunk as a skunk. Stood there swaying back and forth, this was about 5 in the afternoon
Also met Russ Abbot, he came on board HMS Chatham to have a look around one saturday afternoon. He's a lot shorter than he looked on TV

Served Jonny Briggs once in the restaurant I used to work in. Really nice bloke, if a little fussy 
Met Avril Lavigne
Also bumped into David Beckham once when I was a lot younger, I couldn't talk I felt like a right git. I eventually managed to ask for an autograph then tell him his halfway goal was legendary. Then he left lol

When i was working as a courier i met/delivered to Fiona Bruce (newsreader) and the bloke who played pitbull in London's burning, also met the Nolan sisters when i was a kid.
Geri Halliwell @ Cherry Jam
Mate had booked a booth in the club for his Bday up until midnight, then we go ushered out, and Geri and some mates went in for the rest of the evening. Her bodyguard really needed to pee at one point, so a mate and I stood guard to keep punters out. Later, Geri came out and had a little dance and grabbed my butt, haha!
Jamie Oliver @ China White
Mate booked a table for his 21st, bumped into a guy on the dancefloor, turned and saw Oliver. I said "You're Jamie Oliver right?", he confirmed, then I just walked off, as I didn't really care.
Patrick Stewart in Soho
Was day clubbing with mates at Freedom on Wardour Street, and whilst stumbling down to the tube station, we see Patrick Stewart walk out of a Budgens with some groceries. Mate yells "It's the bloke off Star Trek!", and he turns and gives us a wink before heading off.
Thats the sum of all my encounters over the 6 years in this country

David Batty in Harrogate Pizza Hut many years ago.
When I used to live in Sheffield, I used to see Prince Naseem driving about the village almost daily, Chris Waddle, Carlton Palmer, Paul Gascgoine in the pub garden occasionally. Bryan Robson recently too when visiting my dad who still lives there.
Used to drive past Lee Bowyer's house everyday before he moved, and can see Rio Ferdinand's old house from mine, at a long stretch through trees.
Saw the guy from the Cribs recently at an NME after party I got dragged too, didn't know who he was and left his admiring fans to drool like idiots.
They're mainly all old footballers, but nehmind, still celebrities back in the day, well...
