    [cite]Posted By: BoomBoomPowell[/cite]My Uncle came through the youth system at Charlton, playing 7 games, and ended up winning the FA Cup with Soton against Man Utd - scoring at 25 yard screamer against palarse in the semis.

    Paul Gilchrist. Think I saw him play for us. Was it only 7 times?

    Edit. Just checked and it was five plus two subs

    Been on TV twice due to the fact I used to have a massive irrational fear of Dogs (I know), second time met Michael Mosely who is one of the BBC Science guys.
    Was on Late Kick Off twice last year talking about Charlton
    Wrote the Charlton book: When the Robin Stopped Bobbing
    My mum was a bluecoat with Shane Richie and went to one of his weddings, I have a signed photo somewhere.
    Went to school with Jem Karacan who plays for Reading- played in goal against him a few times (and made some good saves).
    When I met Nicky Weaver, Paddy McCarthy and Andy Gray in a pub, McCarthy said "he's got some hair as you Nicky" (debatable but it is longish) and Weaver said "yeah it's quality". Bit lame.
    Met Henry Irving.

    Spot on! We still drag him to the Valley from time to time but he's more a Saints man now!
  • I climbed Kilimanjaro 6 years ago (when i was 21 stone) got to the top and raised 76k for the National Autistic society.

    Arranged it with work, took a team of 10.
  • I once dated Denise Brown who was the sister of Nicole Brown-Simpson who OJ decided to do away with. For a few months over here in the States all you had was Denise being interviewed about the case on the news reports. She certainly got her 15 minutes of fame. Cracking looking lady with long dark hair. Needless to say, she wasn't a fan of OJ.
  • Played piano on the same school concert as David Jones (Bowie) and a young Peter Frampton circa 1961-62.
  • I thrashed Lemmy from Motorhead at Space Invaders backstage at the Reading festival
  • Apart from having once got a cuddle with Kylie I appeared in a tv documentary on cancer treatment. Glenda Jackson bought me a pint as a replacement for the one she spilt. I spent a convivial evening in a remote Irish pub with film director David Putnum who was ashore from his friends yacht in the harbour. Nice man and chatted with us all evening. Was told by Keith Peacock when i was about 12 that "I would have to do better than that" after watching me hit a shot. The ball bobbled honestly. My great great great uncle was a murderer and his model is still in Madame Tausauds. His name was Charlie Peace and was caught doing a burglary at The Clarendon Hotel Blackheath. He was described in court as ferociously ugly. I once bowled Graham Roope in the nets at The Oval.
  • Went to secondary school with someone who plays for Gillingham, he once headbutted me for no reason :(
