These articles are all about celebrities that I have met at various times throughout my life. I have never gone out of my way to meet these people; I have just bumped into them throughout my day.
All these people were very nice, and I thank them all for their company, their conversation and the stories they allowed me to remember.
While living in Florida, I met Mickey Spillane in a downtown restaurant in Orlando.
Noel Blake, a Jamaican-born football player, played for Aston Villa, Shrewsbury Town, Birmingham City, Portsmouth, Leeds United, Stoke City, Bradford City, Exeter City and Dundee at one time or another.
While I was at home watching the movie Karate Kid, I remembered meeting Pat Morita in Los Angeles, California.
When I lived in Orlando, I went to see Rod Stewart at the Orlando Arena, and I spent the evening with his wife, Rachel Hunter.
In the mid-1980s, I stayed in Los Angeles and went to Universal Studios for the day. When I got there, I met Renate Blauel and spent a morning with her on a backlot tour.
While on holiday in Jamaica, I took a trip to Kingston for an overnight stay. When I was there, I went around Bob Marley's house and met his wife, Rita Marley and many of their children.
When I lived in Orlando, I went to watch Duran Duran live at The House of Blues in Walt Disney World, and I met the group's drummer, Roger Taylor.
I met Shaquille O'Neal when I was living in Orlando, Florida, and he had just signed up for the Orlando Magic basketball team.
I have met Tom Jones several times in America and the UK and have also seen him perform in Spain.
I have always been an Arsenal fan and I used to go to a lot of Arsenal games, as did Tom Watt.
Unless you were an Elvis Presley fan, you probably wouldn't know who Vester Presley was, but he was the Uncle of Elvis Presley.
