do you know anyone famous?
In any sort of field?
Just a pointless thread but i turned the telly on yesterday and Rebecca Adlington the olympic swimmer (if you don't no who she is) was on a league of there own.
Now most people don't no but i went to school with becky and she was in the year above me, but our form rooms were next door so i saw her alllllllll the time!
Anyone else have anyone they know thats now famous?

I used to know someone who was famous but sadly he is dead now. You will never have heard of him, his name was George O'Dell and in 1977 he was the world champion motorbike and sidecar racer. I love this photo of him:

Re: do you know anyone famous?
I used to work with a guy who left the company to become a professional footballer, until his career was ended by two broken legs in rapid succession.
And my nephew's wife's mother was a high-profile MP at one time.
Can't think of anyone else!

How'd he break his legs?

In football matches Eleanor. Bad tackles. He'd only just returned to the game after his leg healed, when a tackle caused it to break again - apparently everyone in the stadium heard it go.

No but when my dad worked in the safari park he'd talk to Jeremy Kyle, Johnny Vegas and Michael Owen. We saw Michael Owen and my friends casually tried to stalk him around the place before they got bored

Re: do you know anyone famous?
When I got out of the army, I did some bodyguarding work for a bit and met a few so-called celebrities, but nobody particularly noteworthy. When I was a kid, my mum ran a nursing home in Nottinghamshire and a one of her residents was Brian Laws' mum (ex Forest player) and he used to play football with me in the grounds

Re: do you know anyone famous?
I don't know anyone properly famous sadly. A few friends that have had their bands signed etc, but not exactly well known.
But I saw Eamonn Holmes at the airport once, asked him did he want to come for a pint and he gave me the filthiest look you could possibly imagine

Re: do you know anyone famous?
Don't know any as such but met and spoke to Johnny Vegas in a Mcdonalds in Sheffield and Nick knowles in a co-op.
A garage I usee to work in had a few famous people come in for work done, Jane Mcdonald from loose women came in a few times, Billy Connoly and there was one who's name I forget but I recognised him from his voice, was a black guy who played the part of the shoplifter in an episode of only fools and horses and played one of the gangsters in either snatch or lock stock.
