Last night i met Billy Mitchell at West Ham.

 

I have also met the fit bird from some tv show and her boyfriend Will Mellor at Old Trafford, they were sat in front of us.

 

And Graham Taylor, ex FA Chief at Anfield but I thought it was Grahm Hiley from the Echo, and said 'Hello Graham, how you doing?' and obviously he replied, weird!

 

I dont think the last one counts as its a football related person, should be non football celebs really.

We use a pub in Islington before Arsenal v Saints and on seperate occasions I have exchanged banter with Jeremy Paxman and Alan Davies.

 

Also went to Stamford Bridge in 1980 for the first floodlit cricket match in this country. Sat next to Sue Lawley and she liked the Police song about her.

 

LOL ... probably wasted on most people on here! I always find myself singing Sue Lawley instead of So Lonely everytime I hear it!!

 

See you didn't add me to your list, as although we must have only been feet away from each other in the pub at Burnley (and The Cricks in Eastleigh!!) we didn't speak!!

Where were you at Forest I went in the pub you mentioned and you weren't there ... or were you LOL.

Yes both before and after the match. Spoke to Steve Keenan and the London Saints who were there after. Didnt think to start the 2012 season of "Where's Eric?"

Sitting in press boxes does give you an advantage, and it's easy to punctuate this with the CLANG!! or names being dropped.

 

You rub shoulders with all sorts of famous ex-players - Gullitt, Leonardo - who are working as pundits, before games.

 

But my favourite people who have ponced their way into press boxes include Robert Plant at Wolves, Michael Grade at Charlton, and Billy Crystal at New York Mets (but then he does own a chunk of the club).

 

Oh, and I once got into a lift with Merlene Ottey in Barcelona.

Who the phuck's Billy Mitchell?

Apparently he is either known for recording high scores in classic video games or he is a fictional character in East Enders (so technically does not exist). So, none the wiser, certainly don't think he is famous, even remotely.

I once met Martin Chivers at Highbury, he had broken his leg after ho joined Spuds and was sitting in the stand. I spoke to him and he autographed my programme. If I knew when he broke his leg I could work out how old I was, I would guess about 14.

had a curry with Stewpot from Grange Hill in London after Arsenal won the double about 10 years ago. amusingly went into the Bailey pub at Highbury & Islington tube last year and he was still propping up the bar there.

 

my Dad literally bumped into John Major at the Dell on boxing day when we beat Chelsea 3-1 and Frankie Bennet scored the 3rd. opened toilet door onto him
