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!!

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

Quite a few people. But none of them are famous yet...
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Re: Who did you know before they were famous?
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.

Re: Who did you know before they were famous?
It was either Horse or Spin, but I raced against them in moped mayhem in the 80/90s.

Re: Who did you know before they were famous?
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
