    My closest one is scoring against a World Cup goalie. At 5-a-side. And he was in defence.

    I once fitted a new battery into Bernard Breslaw’s personal organiser

    I sold a Bluetooth Headset to Howard Wilkinson, late 2003 or early 2004. Radford Road Carphone Warehouse. I offered him some cheaper options, but he chose the most expensive one. He paid with his League Managers Association Credit Card. £149.99. I made 10% comission on the price before VAT, which at the time was 17.5%. So I made just over £12. Not bad 23 years ago for a five minute sale. My boss was a big Cunty fan so was quite jealous.

    I worked as Bemie Clifton's roadie for two nights. Not sure if I've mentioned it before.

    I’ve served Mike Mills (REM), Ian Hunter, and Ben Olson a pint (each). And I used to routinely make Juan Pablo Angel a cup of tea when he was doing a signing in the soccer shop next door to the bar I worked in.

    Read that as Mick Mills. Great tash. Quite jealous, though I have served a drink to arguably the most famous England defender and captain. Emlyn Hughes. ("Pint of lager top please son").

    I put REM after it for precisely this reason.

    Think I've been for a drink with him. It's a bit hazy. Mike not Mick, that is.

    Not even remotely. Moore and Pearce just off the top of my head.

    They might have been more famous in football. But not on the telly. Hughes was known by most of the country in the seventies. It was still just three channels then.

    See how Moore couldn't get arrested when he stopped playing.

    I said arguably.

    And you weren't wrong.

    One of the guys in The Darkness performs in a t-shirt I made and we used to make them for celebrity Forest Fan RPJ. Also, I have made t-shirts for 2 ex-Formula 1 Drivers, 1 of which was a world champion.
