Like it..lol
My Uncle was John Bull (I say was as he died many years ago)
My mate is Burt Reynolds, that's burt reynolds the brickie , not the actor
My dad is Paul Brooker. Just not 'that one'.
My cousin is Olly Cheshire. It probably doesn't mean a lot to many on here (maybe the ladies), he's a male model, quite a famous one I think. Well the only one I ever see in the celeb pages but he's the only one I know of!
His most recent gig is the l'oreal (I think) TV advert and has been dating Pixie Lott for the last few years.
^^ Actually, my mums cousins son so I guess he's my 2nd cousin or something?

I've had a serious crush on your cousin for more than 30 years. 092.gif
We don't share the same surname but go back a few generations in our family tree and we are connected to the Lawsons (Nigel, Nigella, etc).
My family have french origins (I am second generation English) and on my mothers side Jean Pierre Papin is apparently a relative, his talent must have passed me by as I certainly didnt hit the back of the net like him, however my son has 59 goals in his last 72 games.
Got a mate called Steve Davis
Got a mate called wayne kerr. Honest!
My cousin's son is George Williams. Not that one either.
My great uncle IS Joe Kirkup, who won the Cup Winners Cup with West Ham back in 1965
My Grandad is called Cyril Smith God rest his soul. He was a great family man and my hero as a boy growing up. He loved his name because there wasn't many Cyril's about.
Unfortunately for him there was a certain MP who shared not only first names but surname too.

Terrific. I remember him.
He must have had his work cut out most of his career at West Ham with John Bond about.
Must have been a fantastic experience to play in that Wembley final. It was the middle one of Bobby Moore's unique (and I would guess never to be repeated) feat of lifting three different cups at Wembley in successive years.
He got to Wembley again with our friends from Fulham Broadway. He must have been the first ever sub in a Cup Final (or rather one of the first two!). Don't think he got on, though.
I think he played against us the season after we were promoted.
Good full-back. Just what we need. Is he available?

No he didn't get on in that cup final, but from what I'm aware he does still have his losers medal in his house
Unfortunately he's on the side of the family that I rarely speak to, I've only ever met the guy twice (once when I was three).

My Grandad had a nice beer belly on him but then lost it all and was really skinny as he got older.
Cant say I know the measurements of the Mp's waistline lol. This has to be one of the most random questions I have ever been asked. Trust it to be you lol

I met William Pitt, the Liberal MP (of the 1980s, not his famous predecessors) while on holiday and he was telling me that when Cyril Smith visited him he was so huge that he couldn't shut the loo door behind him. Not a pretty sight, I'm sure.
I have a friend called Steve Davies who plays in a snooker league and who gets a short-term advantage when he puts his name on the entry sheet. he tells me that the advantage evaporates as soon as he starts to play...
Also had a friend called Dick Whittington. I told him that he should stand for Mayor of London (the first time around, when Livingstone got in) and he asked me why. "Because you'd get in easy with a name like that and it's a fat salary!".
Worked with a bloke called Johnny Haynes.

I once knew a bloke who had a mate whose wife had a sister who was married to a geezer whose cousins husband had an uncle who had a Sword fence with Sir Craven of Cottage.
If I remember correctly Helen Mirren was in the long good Friday and Charlie from casualty was in the film and in a lift he said to Helen "I would like to lick you all over"so would I

He did indeed. A man of impeccable taste.
(And a superb movie.)
I work with a Scotsman called Alan Shearer and used to work with a guy called Paul Ince. Sadly (for them mainly), neither bear much resemblance to the footballers!

When I was recruiting I once received a CV from a bloke called Alan Shearer.

Best gangster movie ever.
When we moved into our present address, our local vicar's name was Tina Turner - just not that one.
