Famous people you've seen in random places

Don't know what reminded me but I saw Alvin Stardust in the Linny - I remember it was lunchtime as I was on my break from my day release course at Kirby College
Richard Whiteley sat behind us at a test match at Headingley - got well pished off with a gang of us constantly singing the theme for when the clock counted down on his afternoon show
Richard Whiteley was on the next table to mine at a Proms event at Castle Howard . He had a few dolly birds with him . Bit of a lad he was !
 
Eusébio and Arsène Wenger (not sat together) in a restaurant in Portugal.
Kylie in Soho
El Tel Heathrow airport
Gareth Southgate/Andy Townsend/Roy Keane/Adrian Chiles in a hotel bar in Poland (when the England game was rained off) Then met them all again the following morning having breakfast (Roy Keane sat on his own!)
George Boateng in Harvey Nichols Leeds (on match day)
 
I sold Shane McGowan a Janis Joplin LP. He was wasted at the time.

Gordon Ramsey and Rocco Siffredi at the airport (not at the same time). Speaking of porn stars I also met Ron Jeremy backstage in a club in Soho.
 
I was in a hotel in Cardiff about 25 years ago, in the bar were a lot of the Australian Rugby Team. They started to play wit my 2 year old daughter, chasing her around the bar and reception trying to get her teddy. They were a really nice bunch who were missing their families, even the dreaded David Campese who we had a drink with.

I hired a car to David Jason when he was performing in Bristol.

My Dad was the spitting image of Donald Pleasance, he often attracted attention of passers by.
 
Duffy, the singer coming into our hotel as we were going out in London .
spoke to one of the kray twins on the phone, can’t remember which one.
 
Just remembered a couple more Tony Cottee stood behind me in a que at Argos I glanced behind me to see where my son was I saw him out the corner of my eye I must have done a double take because he said yes it is even before is said anything I just said hello shook his hand. have to admit took me a few minutes to figure out who it was😬

Literally bumped into Natalie Cassidy at Liverpool Street station one afternoon I was just about to turn the corner to the tube as she came round same corner.

Another Eastenders related one I laugh at myself about was dean Gaffney in tall trees one Saturday night. He was chatting up a couple of girls I knew. I kept going back to them & looking at him because I recognised him I kept asking where I knew him from I thought I had played football against him. To be fair I had had few drinks & I was off my head he probably kept thinking here's that numpty gurning his face off. Still took the 2 girls I knew to tell me who he was in the end
