Chris Waddle went to my school. I share a birthday with Peter Beardsley, A.A. Milne, Oliver Hardy, Carey Grant, David Bellamy, Giles Villneuve & Kevin Costner. Beat that for tenuous.
I was best friends with Chris Rea’s twin brothers (Mike and Nic) from the age of 3 to 18yo. And I also went to college with Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company, Queen etc) brother, Ged. And I used to play football with Keith Houchen who scored a goal in the 1987 FA Cup final for Coventry.
My great-great-grandfather was killed at the battle of Little Bighorn, otherwise known as Custer's Last Stand. He wasn't fighting, he was camping nearby and went over to complain about the noise.
Had a few women on the go...never had same car for more than a few weeks...barely trained...liked a beer and a comedy fag...
Seriously....i met Terry Scott and June Whitfield at parkway station ( i was about 10 at the time ). Thats my only claim to fame... oh yeah my little bother is quite friendly with Matt Berry..
I was Lord Louis Mountbatten's bugler. I sat next to Alan Whicker on a flight to somewhere I can't remember.
