As I stepped out of Subway at Middlebrook this afternoon and headed for Sports Direct, it hit me that I was walking meters behind Kevin Davies. Instead of overtaking him (I wouldn't have been the first) or introducing myself as his biggest fan, I kept my distance to observe what it's like for the town's favourite footballer to walk down the street.

In the space of thirty seconds, he was greeted by several people who he presumably hadn't spoken to before in his life, and who undoubtedly wouldn't have done so were it his job to save lives as opposed to kicking a bag of air round a field. I have to say, he was a complete gent to everyone!

Is money always a fair substitute for freedom and privacy?

Is there a tasteful and distasteful way of behaving towards celebrities, who admittedly should at least to an extent engage socially with the public?

I met Kevin Davies a few years a go. He was going into the hotel at the ground as I was walking past, and despite the fact he could've easily ignored me and carried on going inside, he very kindly posed for a photo with my niece. Proper gent.

I've met a lot of celebs in my time, as you might have expected.

the one that star struck me most was Rick Waller in the Southampton West Quay.

Bumped into Gudni Bergsson once in an Italian Restaurant, he was sat with his wife and I had a jacket on with the club badge on it and he must have seen it as we were going towards his table. He nodded and let on and I thought about stopping to talk to him and then thought better of it and just went to my table. On his way out he went out of his way to say goodnight, I like to think he appreciated being left alone.

I was once in a crowd as Lance Armstrong cycled past. I think people should lay off him. What he has achieved is amazing. When I was on drugs I couldn't even find my bike let alone ride it.

Not really a celeb, but I took Tony Blair around my school when he came to open it, he was still PM at the time. Felt rather honoured to be given such a special opportunity by my school.

Robbie Savage - top bloke. I once organised a charity do. Savage bought a table for himself and his guests, and then bought up all the spare places as well. Then spent thousands on the auction and donated the prizes to the charity.

Some celebs remember where they came from, but most are arrogant pricks.

Savage? Top bloke?? Sorry Nat I think you're out of order on this one. On the pitch he was a cheating bastard!

He was, but off the pitch the guy was a total gent.

I quite like Savage, as a player he was a bit of a cunt but he's a half decent pundit to be fair, much prefer him on MOTD2 to some of the other ex footie players they have on.

Aaron,
I'l grant you that. Hansen is a self righteous sod- I never understand what the hell he's talking about. He makes football sound like it's more intellectual than astro-physics. And Shearer has headed too many balls. His comments make him sound brain dead -they're virtually contentless
But Savage? Sorry- the memory of Paul Warhurst and Dean Holdsworth geting sent off by Savage's cheating antics are still too raw.

I used to own a restaurant in the 80s which was frequented by a lot of celebs and basically the bigger the star, the less of a prick they were. Michael Palin - absolute gent, happy to chat and treated the staff well. Morrissey (at his peak) polite, kept himself to himself. However we were cursed one night when Timmy Mallett walked in, treated everyone like shit, demanded to tour the kitchens and left zero tip for the staff. Absolute tosspot.
Around that time I used to go clubbing in Manchester with my girlies and they liked to go to gay bars before we went to Sankeys etc. We went to "Flesh" at the Hacienda and saw Take That (a couple of years before they became famous) doing a stage dance act dressed as angels with little angel wings on their backs. Camp as a row of tents.
My first wife used to work at Granada TV and we frequently went to their parties at the old pub/club across the way (can't remember the name) Anyhoo, I remember a combined Corrie, Brookie and Albion Market Xmas do where Curly Watts was flailing around on the dancefloor pissed and I accidentally stubbed my fag out on the back of his hand. He was very good about it, but his drink problem gradually got worse and I'd often see him slaughtered in Didsbury lying in the gutter. Nice enough guy though when he was compos mentis.
Don't know if anyone knows of/remembers Snakefinger but he was a sound bloke and we took him to the Nile Club after a gig and he insisted on buying us all goat curry afterwards (at that taxi place in Moss Side)
Frank Worthington was a legend. When he was playing for us my gf and I came back from a club at 2.30 a.m. and saw Frank having a piss on the petrol pumps in Jellicoe's garage in Edgworth (now closed down) He was staggering a fair bit so when I asked if he was OK he slurred "f****** magic" and wobbled off down the road still pissing and trying to do up his flies at the same time. Played an absolute blinder that weekend. Definitely my fave celeb.
