    1) I went to my grandad's funeral wearing Alan Knights jersey.  His actual one.  As he was reserve keeper and very old he only had one match day one so we had to get it back to him (funeral was on a friday) straight away so he could have it ready for the sunday match against man city.  major respect to the guy.

    2) I met reggie kray in prison.  My cousin had agreed to meet him for a business proposal.  I went along.  I was in awe.  This was only 15ish years ago.  He still had this power about him and talked just like in the movies!  Last thing he said a I was walking out 'if you ever need someone sorted, let me know'.

    3) The portsmouth female in the pedo ring in the big case, I taught most of her children.  When it all broke we got invaded by the press, it was horrid.  She is in prison.  She has been beaten up loads and some people want her killed.

    Nice and cheerful stuff eh!

    1)  My old University party trick was the ability to snort a condom up my nose and pull it out of my mouth.

    2)  I once accidentally stole the umbrella of a High Court Judge.

    3)  I used to live next door to Martin from Eastenders.

    We were doing some freak show in the Uni Halls of residence and a bloke I knew was going to do this for his act.  Sadly he got so hammered before the show he passed out.  I said I bet anyone could do it and in front of about 150 people I found out I was right, became a party piece for three years.  Word of advice, don't try it.  It's probably quite dangerous and the ribbed ones really hurt.

    2. I dressed up in drag and performed on stage in a kiddy Steps tribute act aged 11 (god that will haunt me for the rest of my life)

    3. On my debut for Northants District Cricket team, aged 13, my bowling figures were... 
       1.4 - 0 - 6 - 3
       Also hit the winning runs in the chase when we were 9 down. What a day that was!

    Superb thread Alan! Nice work :)

    Right, three things you didn't know about me....

    1) I once headbutted Neil Kinnock in the nuts. It was at a concert, I was 7 years old and reading the programme. I waltzed through his security team and straight into Glennis' best friends. He smiled, I was a bit non-plussed by it all.

    2) I used to work on the university rag and interviewed Chumbawumba, Ash, Queens of the Stone Age and Paul Daniels. He's an odd one.

    3) My nickname at home is Chunky. This is due to my physique, obviously.

    1) I've played football against a team managed by Harry Redknapp

    2) I've skied the men's world cup run at Sestrierre. Not particularly well.  There seemed to be a lot of orange crash netting.

    3) I'm scared of heights.
