I worked with a lady who was part of the first GB Rugby League teams to tour Australia and win a series. She was recently inducted into the RL Hall of Fame. |

My grandad booked The Beatles (more than once) and Paul Simon to play gigs at the venue he managed. My uncle hosted a record signing event in his music shop for the Beatles.

I went to school with the Olympic Gold Medal winning ice skater Robin Cousins. He was in the year below me and I don’t think that I had any occasion to speak to him. |
