Friend of mine collected 2 passengers from The Savoy. As he loaded a guitar, he asked if the guy was in a band? He said, ‘Have you heard of BonJovi?’ He explained that his mate was a huge fan. They called me and I spent 10 minutes chatting to Richie Sambora🎸

Years ago I was sitting having a pint in Temple in Manchester and got chatting to a nice chap. I ask him what does he do. He replies that he's in a band. I ask how's it going and do they get many gigs. He replies, yeah it's ok. It was Guy Garvey from Elbow and I am an idiot.

Rob Andrew talking to a guy to a guy on a who clearly recognised him. Introduced himself, England’s greatest kicking fly half. Masses of England/lions caps etc before forgetting himself. Sorry, enough about me, who are you? He said Will Carling. I played outside you for 30 tests

I walked past a Costa years ago and got excited when I saw Debbie Magee. Said to my hubby 'aww she's having coffee with her grandad'. NO says he's. That's Paul Daniels 😂😂😂😂

Years ago, I was doing a revalidation flight with this bloke named Gary. Lovely bloke, flew pretty well and had no issue signing him off. Had a great chat about his life in L.A.
Turned out it was Gary Numan.
I was a little young to be into 80's electropop, so had no idea.

After he retired from football, Sir Geoff Hurst worked in insurance. He was at a works dinner where the conversation inevitably turned to football and 1966. Bloke sat next to Hurst turned to him and said “can you remember where you were when England won the World Cup ?”

Finally, this one gets a special award – for obvious reasons.
I got invited in to one of bars under HQ and was delighted to meet Rob Andrew. Bar full of middle aged white men like us. “Guess after a while we all end up looking like Brian Moore, look at that poor bastard.” Rob Andrew, “That is Brian Moore” pic.twitter.com/G9MjggvZKG
