OhâŚand Kris Akabusi came to our school for something or other. Canât remember what
Shane Warne came into my shop in Cardiff once. I basically went to pieces like a young girl screaming at the Beatles inside Shea Stadium.
Also from the world of cricket, I was once at Trent Bridge chatting and not looking where I was going and literally walked into Bob Willis. He was very tall indeed.
I made Jamie Roberts a cup of tea. (Very, very tall)
Iâve seen Gavin Henson a bunch. (Very orange, but ridiculously handsome)
Iâve met Sugar Ray Leonard. (Very courteous)
Thereâs almost definitely more, including stuff from school like Jamie Baulch and Kris Akabusi, but I canât remember them right now.
Saw Paul Merson at Bockettâs Farm (Leatherhead, Surrey) soft play area once.
Was on the same train as Titus Bramble once.
Was he in the ball pit?
No, on the rainbow slide, the kind you have to sit in a sack for. Also saw him eating a sarnie later that day
Served David Batty in Sainsburys in 1998 when he came back for his second spell at Leeds. Greatest day of my life.
