    Famous person Top Trumps

    No real rules apart from they can’t be fellrunners and you can’t have people you’ve paid to see i.e the whole of Man Utd (otherwise I’d have Fleetwood Mac) no prizes, just the ‘kudos’ as they say on Strava.

    Top this;

    Bruce Forsyth, Corney Fell

    I’m coming in quite high here, I do have lowlier trumps.

    Liam Gallagher & Patsy Kensit, Naples airport 1996, on my honeymoon. Got pictures & my passport signed (which I later reported lost so I could keep it).

    The Queen. 1971 at the opening of Scammonden Dam. She unveiled a plaque and spent time shaking hands of all the kids. (Of which I was one)

    When I was 15, my school moved from its ramshackle Victorian buildings in the town centre to a new site on the edge of town, and they managed to get the Secretary of State for Education to perform the official opening. We boys all had to wait for ages in the cold and then stand there while the tedious ceremony was performed. So I got a bad first impression of Margaret Thatcher (and none of her subsequent actions improved my impression of her)

    She also visited the girls' school on the other side of town that day. It was there that they had to hurriedly remove the graffiti, "Maggie Thatcher, Milk Snatcher", that one of the young ladies had scrawled on a wall.

    Graham Gooch, England test cricket captain in a shop in Chelmsford in 1989. It was an open day and I was there buying equipment for my polytechnic’s cricket club. I said to a stall holder “I hear Graham Gooch will be coming today”. “Yes he’s standing next to you” came the reply. I turned to my left to see Gooch tucking into a buffet and rolling his eyes.

    Rafa Benitez in a resturant over in The Wirral a couple of months ago. He asked if he could have a selfie with my young son who was in a Liverpool top.

    Many years ago I had a pint after the Saturday game vs Man City with some members of the liverpool team including Ronnie Whelan and Steve McMahon in a pub, which was owned by Steve McMahon I think.
