Nah just worked with sports development. Cathro worked with me when I helped with the J league and in my class at college, he dropped out and got his funding for the Cathro clinic and the rest is history

I was merely suggesting you were the one with a brain. Sorry.

I verbally abused Chick Young from a moving car whilst he was promoting Tennetts lager at Victoria Wine in Inverness during the build up to World Cup 98. My Dad wasn't best pleased as he was driving.

We didn't share a jacuzzi the next day though.

I verbally abused Chick Young at the Skol Cup semi final in 1989. He gave me a dirty look and we lost 5-0. Left me a bit scarred.

^^^^Means loafers (and deserved it)

 

 

This was in underage boozing days before I discovered the joy of a quality loafer. Having a quiet pish down an alley and realised an extra stream was in the vicinity. Any anger soon turned to joy when I realised it was John John Super John. Bit strange for him to be pishing in an alley not more than 50 yards from his own pub though.

Post here when you meet someone well known/famous/noteworthy...

or not.

I met Donny Munro today - in Pencaitland.

Beat that.

Rachel Hunter sat immediately behind me at Dumfries Ice Bowl when watching her son Liam Stewart play for the GB under 20 ice hockey team. She is absolutely stunning up close.

I'm related to Lauren Laverne off BBC 6 Music. Her old man once opened a gig in the north east of England for Jimi Hendrix.

No. My mate Tony who's midriff you see carrying a coupla pints at the start of the infamous glass chucking scene shot in Crosslands. 

I also spent the night in Dick Gaughan's flat in Leith.

Is Tony in T2?

Can't mention names but a famous writer and a porn star are both often visitors to my work

edit to add: just enjoying my own accidental irony of not mentioning names on a name dropping thread

For some reason I thought you worked in a hospital? Maybe you do and they're just accident prone...

Don't think people understand the point. Instead they are just randomly saying who they have met.
 

Hey.  I get the point.  Went down the pub and who was there - Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage.
Yeah - I win.

Except it is a total lie.  Do you think I would go to a pub like that?

Met Willem Dafoe in Dublin - he was a bigger deal back then (late 90s) than he is now - we'd come out of a pub on the waterfront and there was filming going on. We asked one of the crew who was in the film, and the guy said "Him." and pointed behind us where he'd been standing the whole time.

Also walked into a bog in the Moritz Club in Wardour Street to find Fish from Marillion being violently and abundantly sick.
