My uncle is an ex-footballer, Martin James. Doubt any of you will have heard of him.
Micah Richards, Aaron Lennon and James Milner all played for my sides as youngsters, only seen Lennon though and spoken to him on a few occasions.
Paul Hunter (snooker player who died) and the Yorath family (Gabby Logan) all went to both my schools. Met them both a few times.
Uncle (one who was an ex-pro) is next door neighbours with Brett Ormerod. Play football with his kid and my cousins every time I'm there. Also, he now owns a sports advertising company and I've met a few people as a result. Went to Hull's kit launch last year and got to meet Craig Fagan, Nick Barmby and also got to have a drink in the hospitality area with Phil Brown.
One of my second cousins, Tanya Robinson went out with Stephen Taylor, Kieran Richardson and Gazza (
) Only one I met was Gazza though.
