i'm a big tennis fan, and although not normally one t rush for photos with players or even autographs when I attended a cocktail party in aid of charity a
few years ago I couldn't resist the opportunity to have my photo taken with my two favourite players - one some of you will have heard of, Jim Courier, the
other you probably haven't but Mark Knowles is one of the best doubles players in the world.

I'm sure some of you will know Ben James Ellis, who was in the "Joseph" shows on BBC, and went on to star in "Hairspray" in the West
End? Well, I've known Ben for a number of years, and have told him off a few times when he was in the Christmas shows I used to produce!! (He was only
young, and very cute!!)

Sharon, sounds like he needs Picard to give him a dressing down! Maybe he has become his 'Q' persona in real life!

I've got a pic somewhere of me and Sir Anthony Hopkins....I was part of a team that organised a charity event at a local theatre and he came down from
London as our guest of honour - before Silence of the Lambs days - he was lovely - so quiet and unassuming. xx Chris

Mary you mentioned Ken Goodwin, I met him in the 70's, he was appearing at a hotel I worked in, he asked if I could arrange a hairdressing appointment but
I couldn't get one so he came back to my house to have his hair done there, my Dad was in the middle of cleaning the chimney , the brush got stuck, my Dad
pulled so hard that when the brush came out he ended up covering himself and the front room in soot, Ken thought this really funny. I have also met Ted
Rodgers, Mike Reid, Most of the Cast of High Road, Kevin Whately, he is a really lovely man, Him that played Les Battersby on Corrie (he was very rude) Yootha
Joyce, (she was very rude too) Brian Murphy, Matthew Kelly, but probibly the most famous is Alex Ferguson he was playing in ten pin bowling tournament with the
Aberdeen Football Team against a team of Special Needs Young adults at an event I helped to organise.
I did also have my photo taken with Mohamed Ali and a few other famous folks at Madame Tussauds

I've had my photo taken with Nigel Martin (England Goalkeeper), I've met Paul Robinson a few time as he was a friend of my brothers. Charlotte has had
her photo taken with Rio Ferdinand and Alan Smith at Player of The Year Dinner, and when she was at school she had her photo taken and did cooking with Brian
Turner...

would Santa count as being famous ???LOL!!! - see my images for pic!!
Met a few celebs and many politicians as I used to work in marketing in construction and we'd generally have a "VIP" to open a road or building or something - so would get to meet them, also arranged various sporting events - so generally got to meet the players too - but please don't ask me what any of their names were - most of them are/were genuinely nice people (I think I'm really ignorant of their "supposed" status in our society - I just think they're people just doing a job - like most of the rest of us !!).
