Who did you know before they were famous?

I'm sure there are going to be some flash bastards on here, so I'll start with a low bar and say........
Eddie the Eagle.

[lostboy]

Matt Ritchie - footballer. Another fairly low bar!

Various Olympic, WC and AC sailors.

Mark Wingate and Brett (actually Mark) Fancy, actors who I was at school with (I was "friends" with MW's younger sister and MF was a year or two above me but played football with us).

My bar is as low as yours!!

[ZRX61]

Gal I used to fool around with put Ed Sheeran on the road to fame & fortune.

Steven Gerrard, used to drink in our local as he was coming up through the ranks. He was on the karaoke after me more than once

[Demannu]

Just remembered, went to school with 'Charisma' from London's Burning

[David]

Michael Elphick.......................

[Taipan]

Eddie Marsan. He was a temp in a print room I worked in when he was a "struggling actor". Very, very nice guy back then, hope fame hasn't changed him.

Many top racers but the most famous was Niall McKenzie.

Raced against him in 82 in the Marlboro Clubmans challenge.

I beat him at Carnaby. I've reminded him twice of this later in life

She was a right nasty bitch.

[McSatan]

Ian Rankin. He was a prefect at my school.

[mangocrazy]

Quite a few people. But none of them are famous yet...

[Horse]

Apparently this guy and I worked for the same company. Don't remember him



Oddly, I remember the name, but he's not the 'face' I associate with it.

[ZRX61]

I've only heard of three people mentioned so.

It was either Horse or Spin, but I raced against them in moped mayhem in the 80/90s.
The bar is now on the floor!

Not me. So that narrows it down a bit. I did usually watch MM in the main arena at the BMF, so if you raced there then I would have seen your suffering
