American Football: Walter Payton, Joe Namath, Mike Ditka
Hockey: Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Larry Robinson
Baseball: Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Pete Rose
Porno: Ginger Lynn, Christy Canyon, Seka

Would you believe me if I told you that Agnetha Faltskog and I had a torrid love affair in the 1980s?

Nope. Unless you provide the details.

And did it provide the inspiration for " The Winner Takes All"?

Little Richard at a coffee place in Hollywood, we exchanged friendly greetings and he shook my hand. What an experience, that guy has more energy than the local power station.

I was once within a few yards from Marilyn Chambers just outside an LA cemetery, but I guess that doesn't count.

And should I dare mention it, but I spent time in Minneapolis back in the early 90's with Patrick Carnes. Some of you might have heard of him !

Still, as far as I am concerned meeting Little Richard was the most memorable.

Several politicians who came to talk at our school including Cecil Parkinson. When he did most of the Sixth Form started to rattle their keys......

Met Uliana Lopatkina and Darcey Bussell and several noted classical musicians. All very accomodating and interesting characters from Freddie Kempf to Tamsin Waley-Cohen.
