Edmonton Saint Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 Watching the England match currently and a close up of that awful man Ray Clemence took me back 20 years to when Ray upset me when I was a boy of 14. Studio 10 in Hayle was the scene, some minor footballing celebrities had gathered for a autograph sessions. We are talking the likes of Phil Thompson, Mike Hooper, Ray Clemence and John Scales... As I said minor celebrities, me and my friend were not really interested in any autographs and were just milling around, when I hear someone shout at me to get out of the " ****ing" way because someone wants to take his photo, this someone was Ray Clemence, I think I went bright red after someone of his stature shouted at me, and at the moment all the eyes of the world were on me, so all I could do was shuffle sheepishly off sight, muttering profusely under my breath. However I did vow that day, that one day I would have my revenge on Ray Clemence........ Anyone else met " Celebrities" who have turned out to be absolute ******s? On another note, a couple of years ago I had the pleasure of a night out with Mark Owen(of take that fame) and he was one of the nicest blokes I had ever met, so there are some decent ones out there too....

SNSUN Posted 21 August, 2008 Share Posted 21 August, 2008 I've had a drink with Kris Marshall who also lives in Windsor, a few years ago when he was in My Family. Didn't chat with him which is a shame, as he's a naturally funny guy. Girls were all over him, lucky sonofagun. My sister met Goldfrapp when she performed at Thorpe Park a couple of years ago (my sister was in HR there). Apparently she was incredibly stuck up and demanding.

St Landrew Posted 21 August, 2008 Share Posted 21 August, 2008 Met Rick Wakeman in a lift in the South Hants Hospital. The lift was stuck about a foot above the floor when the doors opened. Rick helped lift my old Mum's wheelchair out onto the floor. We thanked him, and I just about stopped myself from whistling Roundabout as we walked away. A fine ordinary bloke. Tbh, I've never met a famous person who wasn't ok. Not met many though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 21 August, 2008 Share Posted 21 August, 2008 Robert Fripp (King Crimson) he is nothing like a rock star.I supose as he is in his 50's makes a difference. The woman from Cuckoo Waltz and in Doctors, met her at a party and all she did was talk about her bed.A very smart looking lady in her day and still keeps herself together for the older man. Charlene Spitari (Texas )came into my business and I didnt recognise her.She was really nice and friendly and I didnt realise it was her to some time later.Ive sold things to Madonna and hubby but did not meet her but did go to her estate between Salisbury and Blandford. Danny la Rue was another. Lee Bradbury bt I odnt think he counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz Posted 21 August, 2008 Share Posted 21 August, 2008 Me and my younger brother spotted Damon Hill in the paddock at the British Touring Car Championship at Donnington Park earlier this year. He was talking outside of a team awning about the new Superleague GP series (like F1 with footy teams), so we waited patiently aside for him to finish his conversation as we didn't want to be rude and butt in. Waited about half an hour for him, with a race programme and a pen ready for him to sign his autograph, and another bloke with his 5 year old kid was waiting too. When he said his goodbyes to the guys he was talking with, my bro asked for a minute to sign the programme and he just ignored him and walked away. Childhood heroes - don't meet them. The flipside is we got Tom Onslow-Cole's autograph and he was a great, approachable guy, and since then my brother has him as his favourite driver. A simple act of kindness has made him another fan.

Wade Garrett Posted 21 August, 2008 Share Posted 21 August, 2008 Ronnie Corbett told me to F*** off when I asked for his autograph when they were filming a scene for his hilarious sitcom 'Sorry' down at Hiltingbury lakes. One day, little man, one day!!! Did his screen dad say 'language Timothy'. Comedy genius from the four-eyed midget boring talentless one from the 2 ronnies. A friend of mine took Mitchell and Webb to the Mayflower in his taxi. When it was time to pay up he said '5.35, that's numberwang'. The stuck-up duo weren't too impressed with his attempt at humour. Fred Dineage may be a skate, but he's a nice bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment is about as funny as a kick in the ********! If you had ever really met, and talked with, her you would not have posted such crap as she was a very lovely lady! But as for tossers.... I met Ian Rush (in his prime) and an up-and-coming (had made a few sub appearances for the 'pool) Robbie Fowler in The Cavern Club in Liverpool many years ago. What a complete and utter pair of knob-ends they were. Tom Clancy is a very intelligent and funny guy, for a Yank! Oh, and one other I have to mention, Sir Alf Ramsey. I sat opposite him on the train from Eastliegh up to Waterloo when I was about 8 years old. He spent nearly the entire journey talking to a star struck little boy about England and Saints. A true gentleman, and very much a Saint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, this was when he was about 18. Maybe he was just trying to show off in front of Rush? I don't know, but he was certainly a tosser on the occasion that I met him.

Suhari Posted 23 August, 2008 Share Posted 23 August, 2008 Met Jim Kerr - Simple Minds lead singer, in Glasgow about 5/6 years ago. I came out of a meeting, onto the street and he walked past. Trotted after him and got his autograph, then stood chatting on the street for about 10 mins. Genuinely nice bloke. Trained with a few of the contestants from 'The Contender: Muay Thai' just after it has finished. A couple were real tossers....though you wouldn't tell them!
