Time to name drop.

I'd say the most famous people I know personally are Andy Liddell, previously of Oldham Athletic, Wigan Athletic, Sheffield United. Currently unattached and looking for a new club:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Liddell
His charity page if anyone is interested - www.justgiving.com/Andy-Liddell/

I know some of the guys in the band, The Pigeon Detectives: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pigeon_Detectives

I've met and drank with Matt Abbott of Skint & Demoralised (Only at Leeds United games though as he's a fan too)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skint_%26_Demoralised

I knew Dave Nelson, former Rugby player. Was/am friends with his niece and nephew, and was unfortunately in the pub when he was shot and killed. Scary scary time, especially being a kid. The pubs no longer there, it's been knocked down since.

On another Leeds forum I visit theres a guy who's a pretty popular photographer (And God will he not let us forget...)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_cowling

I sort of, kinda know Aaron Lennon, but only really met him a few times. I know his sister more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Lennon

I know, went to school with, played with and against a Leeds United Ladies (Now known as Leeds Carnegie Ladies) player en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_Carnegie_L.F.C.
(I've removed her name)

One of my work mates had trial with Bradford City football club, (The season before they were promoted to the premiership).

And me, well I could have been famous (Okay, probably not. One can dream though right?), I had a few training session with Leeds Rhinos. Of course, nothing would have come of it, but had I have been as interested in Rugby as I became a year or so down the line I would have tried harder and maybe got put into their academy.

Who do you guys know?

One of my great-uncles was on America's Most Wanted. Seriously. Does that count?

Other than that Buster Davis was in my drama class in high school. He's a not so famous linebacker that keeps getting cut. I believe he's part of the Texans now.

I know Bob Backlund. He used to stop by high school wrestling matches all the time and he goes to the gym that I used to go to.

I've met 50 Cent a few times before. He used to come into the GNC over in Farmington, CT cause he had a house out there that he sold a couple years back.

I've also been to a couple Royce Gracie seminars and met him.

Me? I don't really know anybody, but my mom knew alot of people on a more personal level at one point in her life.

Bob Dylan
Michael Jackson (Met him several times when he was a kid in the Jackson 5 and twice before he debuted with Off the Wall)
Ric Flair (Always went to clubs in Georgia here)
Chris Tucker (Lives near the Walmart she works. He goes there all the time)
Elliott Smith

That's all I can think of at the moment

Now, because you all know I'm so narcissistic that I happen to have a picture on hand, I'll show you myself:

That's me in the blue circle. And my wonky Torrie Wilson sign that I didn't have time to fill in. Still, she pointed. If being on SmackDown! doesn't count, Torrie and I's rendezvous does.
