Re: famous people we may have met

I met Phil May of The Pretty Things when they played the 100 Club a few years back - he was in the loo(!) getting ready so I didn't engage him in too much conversation...

Do they play cricket?

Yes they do. Imran was really into cricket and once played for the Yorkshire Under-14s. Hasib was also into football and I believe that he once played for Holbeck Hornets. Imran used to be close friends with Shezhad Tanweer. I may have glimpsed him a few times but I have never knowingly met him. I have never met or conversed with Mohammad Siddique Khan or Germaine Lindsay.

This happened to a friend of my mom's. She was a big fan of Bill Beaumont when he was team captain on A Question of Sport. She worked for a clothing manufacturer and was one day called into the manager's office. She was flabbergasted when Bill Beaumont was in there, apparently on business from his family's textile company. Her manager called her in to meet Bill as he knew she was such a fan of the ex-rugby player.

Re: famous people we may have met

Dave Prowse came to my school in 1987 to do his famous talk about the Green Cross Code and road safety.

Leslie Crowther in the same year when he helped open up a new store for the first time.

Richard Bacon for the same reasons, but in the 1990s.

There are others but they haven't come to mind as I am writing this.

Re: famous people we may have met

The closest I have gotten is meeting Tom Coyne, who presented BBC Midlands Today in the 70s when he opened a fete I attended.
