Who are the nicest , rudest celebs you have met?

Forgot i played cricket with David Gower, curtley ambrose, Allan lamb. All nice chaps. My old neighbour is good mates with a lot of the cricket chaps too, met Gladstone small and Ian bell both nice lads too.

Never really met a celeb who was a knob, except for the lead singer from Keane.. he was a grade A door knob.
 
JimJefferies ex Hearts manager is a top bloke as is John Conteh the former boxer. Steve Beaton, darts player isanother good one who I've played a round of golf with. Had a chat with my music hero Elvis Costello who didn't disappoint.Bobby Murdoch ex Celtic and Kevin Keegan both genuine guys who were sharing the same hotel as my family when I was 15.EmlynHughes was a bit of a bug head and Gordon Strachan redeemed himself the second time I met in Sainsbury's.First time Imet him at The Warwickshire GC Ihad a bit of an altercation with him.
 
Can agree with the comments about the crisp salesman, met him a few times doing corporate hospitality at Spurs, complete tool.

Cliff Jones on the other hand was always an absolute legend.

Saw David Beckham in McDonalds once, was with his kids getting breakfast and must have spent 40 minutes doing autographs and photos, top bloke.
 
Met most of the cast of coranation st when I was looking after one of them when I was nursing. All of them seemed nice no egos on show, met Norman Whiteside had a good laugh with him.
 
Nicest was Murray Walker, he took real time out to talk to me and was candid, real, intelligent and honest. Second was Mark Weber who is just straight forward and friendly.

Worst by far was Ralf Schumacher. As part of a prize for winning a kart race some guests got to spend the day with Ralf and do some more karting. Ralf hid away and at lunch requested to eat alone away from the prize winners.
 
Used to play in bands and my hero was Rory Gallagher. My bass player mate's brother supported him once and we went along as his roadies to carry his guitar case and strings (mate's brother was an acoustic bluesman and didn't need roadies - but what the heck!)

We were in the dressing room backstage and a head comes around the door. "Hi, I'm Rory," says the great man. And what a 24 carat gent he really was. Talked to us for 30 mins or more and really could not have lived up to my expectations any more. Polite, humble and so complimentary about my mate's brother's playing.

I also played in a pick-up blues band in the 80s with Mick Ralph's and Simon Kirk of Bad Company. Both great guys also.

Never met any plonkers thankfully.

Steve Beaton: what a legend. Women love him and men want to be him! Smooth as silk.

I thought he was great as he actually remembered playing golf at Hillside with me !!

Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalgleish were fine at Hillside too.
I played cricket against the Warwickshire team including Alan Donald and he was great as he complemented my batting. Not the complement it sounds though!!

A shadow of his brother. Based on what was in the German media many years ago his wife was probably making him look nice in comparison.


I never really met a celebrity, or met them and don't recognise them. I used to work close to the BBC and in Westfield my work mates sometimes pointed out someone who I had no idea was supposed to be famous.

I once bumped into Bill Clinton. Well, he was ushered through a crowd towards a row of these big SUVs with a limousine in the middle. Just as he was pushed into his car the guy in front of me shouts something and Bill gets out, walks around the car and starts talking and shaking hands with the crowd. The guys in sunglasses looked more panicked than impressed, but everything worked out fine.
 
Nicest 'celeb' I met was Joe Strummer. Spent a good few hours with him before and after a gig in Edinburgh, and he was brilliant, despite me being directly responsible for them cancelling a couple of gigs later in the tour (a long story). Finally left him at 3am in the dressing room having consumed a bottle of brandy and more than a few spliffs with him.

Paul Weller, Henrik Larsson and Jimmy Johnstone were great guys. Billy Idol was a complete tool.
 
Don Mackay, ex Blackburn Rovers manager. I stayed in his pub the day it opened, i think the calfs head inn, but not sure. Any way, we sat in his bar from 5 till about two in the morning chatting, drinking his own bottle of whiskey he got from upstairs. Top bloke. He even got a lecture about teaching kids football from a plastered school teacher, who had no idea who he was, and he never let on. Very funny at the time.
 
Never met anyone who was rude but Bobby Robson was absolutely bloody lovely. He was filming an advert in Newcastle train station and he took time out to speak to four of us, all wearing Man Utd colours on our way to a match, because of his love of the game. Said he hoped United won because he always wanted English teams to win in Europe. Shook all our hands and would probably have spent more time with us if he'd had time.
 
I'd like to add Geoff Hurst to the nice people list. He lives in Shepperton and I ran into him in Budgens the day after I'd been presenting for Sky. We end up talking for 5-10 minutes about the NFL and he was just like a real fan rather than the only person to score a hat-trick in a World Cup Final. Mick Luckhurst who used to present the Channel 4 show and kicked for the Falcons for seven years tells the same story about Bobby Charlton.
