Went to my local Chinese takeaway (in Wetherby) last night and Adam Pearson came in. I presume he lives nearby and didn't offer my commiserations.

Maybe he wanted sweet n sour balls. So, who have you seen in your local takeaway?

Elvis.

Jimmy Mullen & his wife,no I didn't try to set them on fire.

Venky's.

The entire Burnley squad at Pendle st chippy in padiham for dinner most days until about 1995 when I left school. I presume better eating came in about that time too.

Elvis.......in Scarborough

Not exactly a chippy, but Louise Redknapp has just walked past me and saw she had a ticket on her brand new Merc jeep. Not that she cannot afford to pay it! A very masculine car for a classy lady!

John Connelly - set up his chippy in Brierfield. Amazing to be served by a Burnley legend.

I did see someone famous once but I couldn't plaice them.

Was it our 1980s loanee defender Peter Haddock?

Yep. I think they were it's best customers at one time.
They must have dashed off Gawthorpe and into the chippy after each training session.

I've seen a few robbing b@stards.

I saw Andy Cook in Kentucky Fried Chicken on Colne Rd.

Me and my mate saw Mike Conroy in a Pizza shop in Colne Road. We'd been playing football on Thompson Park all day and were both caked in mud. He was brilliant,gave us both his autograph and chatted with us whilst his Pizza was cooking and even shook both our muddy hands when he left. As a 13 year old I was left in total awe. Once I got back home to Padiham I told my dad and relatives, showing off my autograph, which softened the blow of being a few hours late. Needless to say i thought I was the bo11ocks all week.

John Selwyn Gummer and Ken Clarke at one in Blackpool during tory conference.

Its this one.

Thought I saw Michael Fish once, frittering away some time. Otherwise not a sole.

Used to live across the road on Victoria Avenue and he always seemed very happy with his business.

I saw someone famous so I battered him!

That is a Mercedes G-Wagon.

Mercedes and Jeep are two different manufactures (Not being an arse, just genuinely wanted to know)

Saw Trevor Steven in a Chinese chippy in Padiham 1982 after we had been beat 3-0 at Newcastle.Also once eating some fish n chips outside a shop in Windsor and Rich Hall walked by he was appearing at a gig down there don't know if that technically counts though

Hendrick & Hendricks

I once saw Sean Connery in a chippy in North Berwick.

It's a vac in my house.

Barry Fry.

I once saw Goldie going into a Thai cafe.

G-Wagen.

Pedantry fail.

He was claiming he was Elvis....let's get it right.
And he had a battered sausage.

Tony Currie.

As in WAG-en.

Paulo Wanchope

Used to see everyone in lyndhurst Rd chippy...

Mr Chips.

Martin Dobson in the Chinese on Todmorden Road about 20 years ago.

Terry Cooper in a chippy in Bristol .He had a chat and told me he was scouting some (unidentified )players at our game v City

Would that be Charlie, Frank ?

Or, as in "Goodbye Mr Chips."

I was stood behind Peter Kay once in Media City. We were both in a queue for a Burger Van, he was with (presumably) his son and when it was there their turn to order, Kay asked the lady if the sold chips. The lady said 'No', so they went somewhere else (presumably) to find chips.

Does that count? I know its not a chip shop, but its chip related.

I once saw Gary Neville and Marcus Bent in the same Chinese restaurant in Manchester on the same night (after a United vs Everton match many moons ago).

At the time Neville was a regular for United and England, had won just about everything and was clearly a high profile player. I decided to go and say hello as he was leaving (I didn't think he'd appreciate me interrupting his dinner!) and he was the nicest guy you've ever met! I know it's not Burnley but it's not often you get to meet a player who's won as much as that guy did. I even had my photo taken with him to show my United supporting pals! Lovely guy.

After this I thought I'd do the same with Marcus Bent (one of my best mates is an Everton fan so I thought I'd try and get his autograph or something). I waited till he was leaving, as with Neville, but I couldn't get anywhere near him because of his entourage. He must have had 3 or 4 security guys surrounding him - "you can't come near Mr. Bent tonight" etc etc... what a fraud!! It was similar to the time I saw Dwight Yorke in The Living Room on Deansgate. He walked in with an entourage that filled half the bar. What must it be like to have an ego like that?!!

Mr Cod but wasn't in a good state. He'd just been battered

I'm surprised he didn't ask for gravy.

Or garlic bread....

Willie Madden RIP in a chippy in Darlo. What an enormous guy, good CH as well.

No, me and Louise go way back.
