Celebrity Encounters IIII once stood next to Ian Beale out of EastEnders in the gents' toilets at the BBC. BEAT THAT. Tell us of celebrity encounters that went well, or meetings with the famous that ended up as a complete disaster. (And we'll take it as read you've just made up a "I got touched up by Jimmy Savile" story, OK?)

Non-cricketing readers can just skip this oneWhen I was in my teens my local club hosted an 'international' fixture between Scotland and India. As club members we were used as stewards to keep the local riff raff away from the Indian team - who included most of the squad that had been playing against England that summer.
The Indian team didn't have an official scorer to mark their scorebook, so I was volunteered to do it. I spent 2 days on the task, sitting in the Scottish Cricket Union tent with their official scorer and was rewarded by having tea with both teams on both days.
Somewhere in my loft I have a match programme with a shitload of autographs - including Sunil Gavaskar, who to this day is still one of the best batsman the world has ever seen. He literally spent 2 days asleep in the changing rooms and they just woke him up to stick his pads on and send him out to bat. Classy guy.
