I met Jo Whiley at Sixfields in reception on a night game. I sat in front of David Capel (RIP) at Nene Park. Think we won 3-2 in a night game. Also sat in front of David Gower at the County Cricket Ground when Northants played Leiecestershire back in the late 80's. He was chatting to a young lady between innings. I also sat next to David Ripley at the Derngate for a panto. Bit of a cricket theme here and slightly off topic, although more off topic than the match thread. Let's hope we keep the run going, we're the only EFL team to win every League and Cup game this season.

I had the joy of sitting next to Michelle at Oxford away, all I heard from her literally all game was, and I quote “Fűck off you Cűnts”.
I reckon I asked her to dance to “Endless Love” at Rockerfellas one Saturday night?

Enjoying the celebrity spotting tales however there was one celebrity spot that I actually did feel a bit sorry for. It was an early Saturday start for an away game at Walsall if I remember correctly. It was a beautiful warm morning and you could feel that sizzle of expectation and excitement in the air, a big away following and a day out in Birmingham. Oh yes! We had already sunk a few for re-hydration purposes before bundling on the half ten to Birmingham New Street in great spirits, it would have been quite clear to anyone that a group of already drinking football fans had just joined the train. It was only moments after the doors had closed and the train pulled away for the first audible "Is that Trigger?" to be heard, quickly followed by, der da der dat ter, stick a pony.... you can guess the rest. Cowering for cover under a broadsheet, in the failed hope of not being recognised was the sadly departed Roger Lloyd Pack. Maybe he had taken the wrong train to New Street who knows, but the fella had to endure a full hour or so of being called "Dave" and endless other broom related innuendoes before scarpering the minute we arrived at New Street. Roger, thanks for all the memories, especially the 10:30 to Birmingham New Street.

My next door neighbour's cousin had a colleague from work who once sat in the same stand as an extra from the tv series 'Triangle' had once sat.

Met John Motson in the West Stand concourse a couple of years ago. He was a guest of KT. He said he tries to get to Sixfields when he can!
