My Nan and Grandad somehow ended up with a dog that used to be owned by Mandy Smith who Bill Wyman nonced.

Mark Lawrenson's sister used to be the Landlady of my local pub. Saw him in there a few times after he'd been working on a North-West game (usually with his chauffeur, because he was serving a drink-driving ban at the time). He was in there once after commentating on one of our games when we beat Charlton, moaning because he'd put a few hundred quid on them to win, so we took the piss out of him all night. Proper miserable bastard.

My dad's cousin was a TV presenter in the 90's and became good friends with George Michael after he appeared as a guest on a show she was presenting. He sent her flowers for her birthday every single year until he died.

I used to work with Sam Tickles sister, Tess

Sy’s stag do and my confrontation with Mr. Madine. His female partner that day took my glasses of me and put them on her head during my rant at him. I snatched them off her and gave her the L/H look. Both her and Madine knew then that I wasn’t happy. 

She’s doing Strictly Come Dancing.

I still feel a little bit guilty that I refused his offer to buy us all a shot. Sorry. 😊

Everybody always forgets that delightful fellow Marcos Baghdatis. So frustrating ;)

There'll be an excited feral somewhere in Scotland now. Careful what you say.

My daughter is class mates with Andy Hinchcliffes grand daughter

Seen him loads at birthday parties and school events 

Nice bloke, just chat about footy with him

Outside of his day job as a player and commentator he has zero interest in football, doesn't support a team or anything

Still not quite as bad as people who support multiple teams.
