Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Phew!on the camera phone.

" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
I met MagicMe!!!
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
Lots of Rugby Players, although the only one that really stood out in my mind was Martin Johnson. I shared a flight to Florida with him recently, and although perceived as a total c**t by everyone Irish after disrespecting our president in 2003, I found him to be ultra clever, good conversationalist and an all round nice fella. Incidentally he told me that the reason he refused to move was that he saw the sheer terror in O'Driscolls eyes when he ran out and saw England on the red carpet blocking the way and knew then that they had won the psychological part of the battle. I disagreed with him, very politely and gently, and changed the subject, as any mortal like myself would do when disagreeing with a 6ft 8 man mountain.
Soccer wise the most memorable people I've met are Roy Keane, Alex Ferguson, and Socrates.
In the movie world, I've met Bob Hoskins, and had a few beers in a bar in LA with a guy that I thought was just a normal Joe but my sister pointed out to me later that it was Jason Priestley.
David Platt
....................from coronation street
I'm no judge of crowds ted but i'd say there's about seven million of them out there...
I met Bluebeard!!!! (anyone who wins POTY is a celebrity in my eyes)
Down the pecking order, we had Pancho (the small one they take the mickey out of) from Dirty Sanchez out to our house after a night-club there a few months back. Lovely, down-to-earth (
My favourite brush with celebrity though was in the Burlington about four years ago when frustrated with only meeting Cafú and Giblerto my mate and me found out what level the Brazil players were staying on. So up we went and amazingly there in front of us chilling out playing Pro-Evolution Soccer in a kind of common area with sofas etc were......(dramatic pause).....the two Ronnies themselves. Yep, I've seen Ronaldo and Ronaldinho playing PES!
Superstars ?
Jack Charlton, John Aldridge, Trevor Welch (?
I played in the CCFC Legends v Celebrities match and met a few politicians, radio DJs, and apparently a couple of rugby internationals who'd been at World Cups, but I can't remember most of them as I was far more star struck by the CCFC legends

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Rudd Gullitt (fecked if i can spell it right), Ronnie Wood, a WWF Wrestler that I cant remember the name of, the lead singer of The Revs.
The Corrs, Deftones, Damon Albarn, Busta Rhymes, The Big Show, Chris Benoit, Lita, Ed Harris, Cillian Murphy, and Living Legend Jeff Kenna spring instantly to mind
Didn't you have a private concert with Roland wasisname out of FYC or something?My fav of my celeb stories is scarying Thom Yorke by trying to force feed him a chocolate musical note shaped lollipop. His panicked look will stay with me all my life.
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Yep..
Rat?

Met Michael Stipe in Easons last summer. He was just browsing through the magazines with no-one paying any attention to him. Wouldn't normally do the star struck thing, but I was a huge REM fan, so I had to shake his hand. (He had an armful of magazines, which made that a bit arkward
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Oh forgot to say I met Kevin Gallen drunkenly stumbling up Grafton Street a few years ago. No! No I didn't call him a traitor.
Another strange enough one was when I had the privilege of caddying for Lisa Kudrow's husband. Pathetic golfer actually - though he was French I suppose.
Jesus, forgot.
I met Jackie Chan in Bangkok in 2005.
I kicked the **** out of him.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
Roland Gift and yeah I did but Thom Yorke was funnier! The panicked look in his eyes.
Have met quite a few famous ones but Thom was the best.
