Although,I will admit,I'd change it all for the people Jimbo met if he met Noel/Liam personally

Yep.He was going to his car after the ManUtd vs Watford game in 2007.An awful lot of spot's at the time on his face,but even more moisturiser to try and cover it all up.Still a terribly nice fella,stayed outside in the cold for about an hour signing autograph's in fairness to him

Famous people you've seen is a bit too easy. We have all seen sports stars and celebritys but haven't got chatting to them. Twould be a better thread if it was confined to famous people you know well or have had a meaningful chat with. Anyhow I'll thrown in my tuppence worth, as a young lad in Cork one of my best pals was the late great Rory Gallagher. I've met and spoken to the likes of Christy Ring, Roy Keane and Paul McGrath. I met, spoke and even sang with Liam Clancy a good few times and I'm quite friendly with Jimmy Barry Murphy. Finally for patriques benefit I knew the famous General Tom Barry of War of Independence fame.

That's seriously class. I don't like soccer at all personally but my dad likes Man United and I used to watch the matches just for him. He really is one of the best looking men going.

Christy Ring used to bate the ball off the wall outside me father's house anytime Cork played Wexford.He used to stay in Moran's B&B he did and he'd go across the road to the entrance off the south station (now got rid of) in Wexford town and he'd bate the ball off the wall for hour's.


Tis easy get into a conversation with a famous person,there no different to you nor me.And if there going to stay mute well then I wouldn't give them the steam off me ****,but I yet to meet a person like that who are famous in famous.I met Paul McGrath once also at a Wexford Youth's game 2 year's ago,terribly nice chap he is,extremely down to earth.The nicest fella I ever met was Stephen Jones (Welsh fly - half).Started talking to him for a quarter of an hour one day.

Christiano Ronaldo and Gemma Atkinson when they were an item. She was stunning. Met Liam Neeson and Robert De Niro in a bar in Portstewart many years ago. Surreal it was.

He was sound, we saw him heading into a Starbucks, waited and collared him when he came out, got a couple of photos, chatted and off he went. He's a big fella, head's like a block
