met a few, nothing to brag about! Roberto Martinez (Wigan Athletic fc manager) came into work with his wife on wednesday! very polite, and very tanned!! wife wasnt up to scratch tbh
I booked Roberto Martinez, Lee Trundle and a few others on a holiday to Majorca when I worked in the travel industry about 6 years ago. My experience was exactly the same as yours, extremely polite, really nice bloke all round. He didn't bring any women with him though
Warren Clarke, rather worse for wear in a bar in Worcester. They were filming an episode of Dalziel and Pascoe at the now demolished old Royal Infirmary in Worcester.
Desmond Haynes. Interviewed him for my high school newspaper during a tour match a Worcester. Seemed like a decent chap, put us at ease and introduced us to a few of his team mates who were relaxing in the teams dressing room.

Most random: met Dennis Bergkamp at a BBQ in Spain. I made eye contact and gave him a knowing nod haha 
Also walked past Ricky Gervais in London. Stopped to have a chat and autograph and later as he's walking away my mum pipes up "is that the comedian from the office, that isn't funny?" and he burst out laughing.

Once got to go into the Green Room after seeing a filming of 'They think it is all over', so got to meet Jonathan Ross, Rory McGrath, David Gower, Nick Hancock and Gary Lineker.
Jonathan Ross is exactly the same off screen as on it, in that he is witty and slightly bonkers, but hugely personable. Likewise Rory McGrath.
David Gower is just as charming and smooth, and couldn't have been nicer, and Nick Hancock was really chatty, and just mad about football.
Less said about Lineker the better.

My wife and kids met Shaun Ryder on a train and he was brilliant posing for photos with her and the kids etc.
She also met Will Self on a train.

A few authors at book signings ...
Terry Pratchett ... nice guy and exactly as you would expect.
Raymond Feast ... a bit grumpy and standoffish ... came across as tired and not really wanting to be there (which was probably the case).
Terry Brooks ... really nice chap. Turned up early with the artist who was doing his UK covers and chatted with the people at the front of the queue before the signing started.
