Lived in south Africa for a while...we were at a Pro/Am golf tournament in Orkney..Gary Player was just about to tee off when he heard someone coughing....the big headed bugger threw his club down and refused to play until there was absolute silence!! The event was to raise money for charity....
Rant over
Sorry for the hijack

Had dinner is a restaurant in Liverpool and sat on a table between the entire Liverpool first team and Atomic Kitten. And John Barnes went to my mates wedding.
I think I'm done now.
No, wait....when England won the rugger World Cup I met a number of the Leicester Tigers players who were in the squad.
