Celebrity Fans: What's The Point?

Saw Nige (and had a lovely little chat) at the Forest semi final at Villa Park.
He was clearly very happy to be there and having a great time.

And also at West Ham a few years ago. He was great.

The only time I have ever come across Nigel Kennedy was before the Atletico Madrid game all those years ago when he almost ran over my foot in that graffitied BMW he had in the North Stand car park.

I think it was a Jag.

You're right is was. Never been very good with cars.

Nor me, apart from as a small child when I could name any car going down Kingsbury Road from my vantage point on the ninth floor of Topcliffe House on the Vale. But I saw Nige’s Jag dozens of times when I used to sell H&V opposite the Trinity Road gates.

He had a season ticket directly in front of us in the Trinity Road for a couple of seasons years back. Given his schedule he got to a lot of games. Always approachable, good for a chat with anyone and enjoyed a halftime pie. Coincidentally ex Home secretary Jackie Smith sat two rows in front.

I've never met any of our famous fans, sadly. Saw Benjamin Zephaniah in the Lower Holte once, but that's it.

(I shook Chris Woakes's hand, but that was at Edgbaston and before he'd been capped by England, so don't count that one.)

I had a piss next to Nigel Kennedy in a pub after Fulham away. He was sound, I didn't shake his hand mind.

I met him in a pub at a QPR game (pub was next to the Hammersmith Odeon I think). He called me 'cat' (i'm sure it was cat). Lovely fella.

I drank Veuve Cliquot with him and Michael Mansfield backstage after a gig.

I’m pretty certain I bought a spare ticket off him for the last day of standing on the Holte End.

This story you won’t believe but I swear it’s true

Old people on here might remember we played Notts County away in the FA Cup without looking it up I was still at school so about 76 or there abouts

anyway there was a ticket tout outside the ground selling tickets I can’t even remember if it was all ticket I doubt it so no idea why he was doing it
the ticket tout and I kid you not was Brian Clough

[john e]

Thinking about it he was probably trying to make a few quid out of some complimentary tickets
I think we won 1 nothing but memory fades

We played them in 1982 when we stuck 6 past them. That was the first FAC game against them since 1922.

Sid Cowans scored an absolute corker in that game from around 35 yards.

We kept losing to them home and away in the 80s and yet stuck 6 past them in one game.

Didn’t think it was as Late as that but like I said memory fades
