    Billy Connolly. Met him at the BBC while going to meet my Da who worked there at the time. The Big Yin was sound.

    Gregor Fisher. Came into the fishmongers where I worked and didn't take kindly to me calling him Rab, stating in a posh voice that his name was not Rab it was Gregor.

    Hate when you meet someone you like from TV and they turn out to be massive throbbing *.

    Peter mullen from trainspottin/directed neds, at the gym.

    Seemed to get alot of minor celebs at my old gym at the squinty bridge, think because it was close to the bbc.

    Nelson Mandella and Muhammad Ali came up to me in George Square Wetherspoons to get their photos taken, they must have been out on a stag doo or something.... I signed their t-shirts and made idol chit chat with them. Apparently that made their night and they were telling everyone for weeks that they'd met me and that I was a pretty sound guy in real life

    Was having a streamie in Southwaite services when John Higgins popped into the one next to me the day after he lost the world championship this year. Said unlucky and all that stuff, but drew the line asking for a selfie due to the act being undertaken.

    Michel Roux Jr on the plane next to me, he was with his dad and uncle. Looked really cool lads.
    The Proclaimers again at the airport.
    Diversity in a restaurant somewhere in England, was fairly recent so the wee guy with big hair is now a big guy with big hair.
    Met Nick Knowles he was cool.
    That food critic Jay Rainer was also at a do I was at and he was a complete * wankstain.

    Andy Walker cleaned me up at a supports club thing when I was about 13/14 after I took a bit of a pasting, he's a * but fair play to him that night as I was full of Tonic :)

    Everyone that has ever met George Best has a story to tell. Usually an ignorant guy because he was blitzed. I was lucky to meet him twice and he was nice enough. Also used to laugh at all the negative stories about Alex Higgins. I saw him in action a few times and he could be abrupt. But was a good friend of mine in his later years and I liked his honesty.
