My son's just done work experience there. Had his own personal tour of the stadium with Ron Grant, and reckons the people who work in the megastore are 'legends' :)

He also played football with Murts a year last Summer at a school fete in Old Basing.

We're both in quite a few photos in the Championship season review, and he got his USA flag signed by Marcus at the end of the Championship season when the team were up in the west stand.

On the "Record Breaking Royals" video from 94/95.
On Meridian news before the first ever game at the Mad Stad.
On South Today moments after promotion v Brentford.
On Page 3 of the EP (and also in the Chronic) for the Blackburn game.
Had a piss next to Pardew at some service station on the M6 on the way back from Bury (and no, I didn't look :roll:)

And various other media related snippets.

- Had a photo of me with Ian Branfoot published in the EP in 1987. It was taken in the boot room before a pre-season exhibition match. I also had my pic taken coming out of the tunnel with Martin Hicks. I was 11.

- Was on the dancefloor at Utopia with Dylan Kerr and James Lambert dancing to Born Slippy in 1996. Yes, i know it's a bit gay......

- Allowed Trevor Senior to queue jump in the players bar at Bournemouth after 3-3 in the early 90s. He looked like he needed it.

Oh, and have also been match ball sponsor twice : Man City and Wrexham (Pants day!).

Met Mass Saar on one of them - he was totally confused when someone asked him how long he'd been a librarian.

The player I met on the other one is so memorable I have absolutely no recollections of them!

Floyd and I bumped into Mad Dog and had a pint with him in Twyford. I saw Barry Hunter earlier in the season on a train from Paddington and had a chat about football, I think I bored him to be honest, as could recollect all his RFC goals and his '2 goals' in one game for Southend on loan. He's now working for Blackburn.

Also met Nicky Forster many times in Twyfers and used to run past his house, hoping he'd be kicking a ball about outside. :oops:

Scored a penalty against John Polston and still see him around regularly.

Kes I have slept with Annie Bassett.


Sorry, I could have sworn this was asking for a 'claim to fame' not confessions of a blind, deaf mute with no sense of smell.

At a friendly down south a few years back (forget exactly where) I was invited by Mad Dog to sit in the dugout for the match :D

Mascot at 4 away games

Once ranted about how crap Barry Hunter was on a radio phone-in only to be told he was the studio guest.

Was given an award by the club for my work with the Young Royals (99/00 I think)

Former ballboy.

Can be seen on the Tilehurst End in the 'famous' picture of the fans going onto the pitch after the Notts Co fire scare.

Scored in half time comps at Millwall, Stoke (VG) and Sunderland

Sponsored and interviewed Archie in the same season

Tommy Burns owes me a fiver.

Was also on the 2000/2001 and 2002/2003 season videos and got my picture in the EP when marcus gave me his shirt at Leeds.


Sorry - keep looking at the picture and still can't see you. My eye is drawn away continuously! :oops:

It was a match against River Plate in Peace Cup.
