Spotted Colin Hartburn in Epsom Sainsbury's the other week and Billy Marshall in Tesco New Malden a while back.

Beat that !!!!

Ok, call it a 1 - 1 draw !!

Billy tops Rodney Marsh who I used to share a Sauna with daily at the David Lloyd Raynes Park Gym.

Was Rodney trying to sweat out all the saturated fat from his Wall's Bangers ? 
 

Nah !  

How about....  My wife spotted Ray Wilkins in the Centre Court car park in Wimbledon. Does that count?
Or
I spotted Alec Stewart walking his dog on Headley Heath. Any good? That's a special one for DeePee, think he needs cheering up after all his efforts on tonight's programme.
Or
how about, no mustn't boast!!

I once played Cricket with Ex Palace player Peter Taylor.  But and this IS the BIG one...

I used to work in the same department as Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters - Martin was one of our area managers so I had lots of dealing with him, nice chap especially as he was living in the shadow of a player who was nowhere near as good but just happened to score 3 (or 2!) goals in a World Cup Final!!!

An old friend of mine was on a train containing Alan Mullery ex Spurs player who was at the time manager of Brighton.
My friend was rather worse for wear drink wise and was asked by Mr Mullery to "Keep the noise down"

My friend replied with "F*ck off four eyes" to which Mr Mullery retreated back to his seat.....



 

And.....................The aforementioned Mr Wilkins' wife came in with her son's BMW 3 series (affluent lot this footy families) for a regular service.
Anyway, the technician (they're technicians in a BMW dealership, not mechanics) in charge of the job pops the car on the lift and winds it up in the air for a peek underneath. As the lift is making contact with the chassis there's a nice crunching tinkling noise and half a ton of glass drops down on the garage floor via the technicians bonce ! It turns out that Wilkins Junior has dressed his motor up with some of those silly purple fluorescent tubes that light up the pavement under the cills - or rather HAD ! 
Que the embarrassed workshop manager 'phoning Mrs Wilkins to try to explain why a good (??) few quids worth of lights have gone west and that of course the dealership would cover the overly expensive cost of re-newing them.
"Not to worry" says Mrs W "we've always told him they were rubbish and they had to go, you've just saved us the effort of getting rid of them"

I wonder if this was at the same time that Butch and his wife were living in the same street as a bloke I was working with who was called Peter Riddle ( We called him Jimmy for obvious reasons ).

Dave Irons has got a Ray Wilkins story that I'm sure he'd be happy to share with you in the bar. Something about when he was doing a cab job for an ex Chelsea player and being told that Glen Hoddle wasn't fit to lace Butch's boots because Wilkins was that good. Or something like that anyway.

Well when I worked in a Toyota dealership in Ewell we could boast, Ken "they think its all over" Wolstenholme as a cusomer (along with Norman Wisdom and June Whitfield but that's pushing the sport thing!)

You lot of name droppers. For those that know me I dont need to say much regarding this subject but i do have photographic evidence of playing along side the only english captain to lift the World cup, amongst all the other famous ones, hey Deepee & others

Do you mean to say that's not his REAL name ? 

When I was living at my twin sister's house my brother in law was playing cricket for Gloucestershire and Courtney Walsh would regularly come round to pick him up. He tried to engage me in conversation but his West Indian accent was so strong I could barely understand a word he said. "You what ?"

I think Geoff would win this game hands down but he's keeping his gunpowder dry (modesty is his middle name). Gary Walker's been a bit quiet on this subject too.
