I served Bally years ago when I worked in a petrol station and he was class like. Was derby day and he was on his way over st James. Still had a bit time to have a chat for few minutes when I asked him what he reckoned with the game. Sound fella. Sure I made it back to watch the game at the pub with a matter of minutes that dayBobby Kerr before the Tranmere game, prior to that I've bumped into Bally, Ben Stokes and Keaton Jennings in my local Tesco over the last year or so. Bally is incredible, despite not knowing me and me not wearing any SAFC gear, he has initiated conversation on both occasions
Other than numerous footballers and cricketers over the years, I've not really met many other celebrities. Kate Adie came to my secondary school and was very nice and I met the Fonz (Henry Wrinkler) at a book signing in WH Smith's - he was an absolutely great bloke, gentle, polite, friendly and funny - honestly couldn't speak higher of him. Erin Boag (Ex Strictly pro) used to live around the corner from me too and was always very pleasant.
Used to get the odd celeb on the phone during my call centre days, Natasha Kaplinsky was probably the most well known and was no hassle at all. Daniella Nardini (This Life) was a regular and a lovely woman and not long before she died I spoke to Susannah York who was also pleasant.
