Can't really claim fame... However, I've featured on centrals news 3 times, I was in a news video on the BBC Website for the Anniversary of the Playhouse (50 years).

I've met many sporting celebrates and somehow befriended Sven (who would always speak to me/ask if I was in when I work at Harts). I delivered a personal hand delivered letter to Jools Holland, who was playing at the Theatre Royal and he invited me briefly around the stage/dressing room. He even played on his piano briefly. I don't like him, though I had respect that.

During a WWE event I shouted at Chris Jericho and took the p out of the way he said 'Nottingham', he told me I sucked and I enjoyed winding him up. Haha!

And before you say it-Being your parents isn't a claim to fame!

My claim to fame is that I am a PoN Legend..........apparently, I live in fear of being recognised on the street, I'm always looking over my shoulder.

My claim to fame is being on TV twice. Quiz shows. Won a trip to Paris on one. Won a nice crystal trophy on the other one.

i was in a tv advert when i was 5 y.o but im not saying which one it is.

Oh go on @liampie,I promise i wont tease. :devil:

I've met a couple of minor celebs. Milky and Smell from This Is England, Bo Bruce, Jamal Campbell-Ryce, Jeff Hughes, Adam Kay from the Amateur Transplants, and Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica! Oh, and I used to work with British athlete and possibly future Olympian Meghan Beesley and spoke on the phone to Ellie Goulding.

Though I take it that Chris might have been hinting at the fact I write for, and have my ugly mug featured on, the Nottingham Post? Well, I guess it's a small claim to fame I guess haha!

I used to work with Alvin Stardust's cousin and at a another place I worked with Sue Pollards cousin.


 


I also met Arthur Askey when I was about 10 and he patted my mother on the back.

They were quiz shows in Ireland. I met people who would be well known in Ireland but not outside the country. Good craic in fairness. Wouldn't mind doing one again.

I guess my only claims to fame have been appearing on the Football League show in the crowd a couple of times. I'm also a regular on the Weymouth highlights videos lol

I was also in the middle of the celebrations when we scored a last minute winner at Frome last month. This picture appeared on the front of our website. I look ridiculous but as a photo I like it. The passion of non-league

I was on tv once a very long time ago, on Star Soccer, standing on the old Kop at Meadow Lane. Lol. I've met quite a few famous people, Peter Howitt of "Bread" fame, Boyzone, except for the late Stephen Gately. Met his mum and dad though. Les Bradd bumped into him once at Goose Fair, just after Notts had sold him to Rotherham, told him I was sad he was going, he said he was too, he didn't want to go.

You forgot your biggest claim to fame - sitting next to the official PoN legend every match day :joker:

Of course it does! This month you're all V.I.P, you will just need to figure which type. ;)

Well Done again...
