Helped Ellery Hanley pick the right size plug for his bath once.

From what I've heard from a mate that played for wigan Ellery (a.k.a. The Black Flash after a nightclub + female incident) if he was standing at the tap end of the bath could block the plug hole himself with a lazy one.
He also said that if you noticed he used to sprint off the pitch like it was the 100m final at the end of a game, when they got in the changies he was halfway through a fat one... and often at half time too.
 
Played Rivers of Babylon with Boney M.

Drained 2 weeks of spit from a trumpet onto the Stretford End Penalty Spot & then marked time on it for a couple of minutes (possibly while playing Rivers of Babylon) to stamp it in, in front of a capacity crowd at the 100th Manc Derby too.

Met the King of Norway and then again 2 days later to receive a Tynwald Medal from him and he said "Ah we meet again, I remember you from the other day."

Given Kenny Dogshyte a couple of Everton Mints.

Been on the pitch on Derby Day at Goodison.

Travelled to European away game as a fare paying passenger for 50p.

Been to Romania in the very dismal days of Ceausescu.

Watched NZ v Australia Rugby Union match live, a Bledisloe Cup game where Australia won it in NZ for the 1st time ever.

Attended the 1st Competitive game at Wembley.

Drunk champagne out of the FA Cup
Woken up in the morning to find the league championship, Cup Winners Cup, Charity Shield at the bottom of my bed
Played snooker with Andy Gray

All of these before I was 16. I peaked too soon.

Played golf with the drummer from Thunder!
Met quite a few celebs through various jobs.
 
Stood on the line with John Hurt watching Old Caths at their old Yewtree Lane ground ( houses now )
Went on the piss with Alan Whittle and his brother in the Lamb Wavertree
Took tea with the then Chief Scout, The Maclean of Maclean in his castle on the Isle of Mull
I was there on the last night of the original Aigburth arms, around 69-70
 

These are fairly boring, but.... Played in the very first (unofficial) game of football at the City of Manchester Stadium, and also ran in, and won, the last ever (unofficial) 100m race run there as an Athletic stadium. I ran in lane four, in rigger boots. Met the whole management team and first team of City as they came for their first visit of the new stadium.

Surely to God I have more interesting stuff than this that has happened to me...........

I'm ending it.
 
Been in a car chase with Islamic terrorists and a big South African mercenary called Henk who was very liberal with his trigger finger.
